I'am trying to create android (Froyo 2.2) SMS logging app. Using many tutorials I've made the main part of the app and it works like a charm! Basically it reads last sms (send or received), gets contact name by a phone number, converts milliseconds unixtime to a date and display result on the screen.
Now I want to remove GUI, modify that code so the app will monitor phone for any incoming/outgoing sms activity and if there will be one it will start mentioned code and save result to a file.
I wish whole app to be completely transparent/stealth for user (working in a background). I'm suspecting that I have to use somehow the ContentObserver class but I've got some problem with implementation (even with start).
Could You help?
Current code:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.database.Cursor;
import java.util.Date;
public class SMSLog extends Activity {
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
Uri uriSMS = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMS, null, null, null, null);
cur.moveToNext();
String body = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("body"));
String add = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address"));
String time = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("date"));
String protocol = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("protocol"));
String contactName = "";
Uri personUri = Uri.withAppendedPath( ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(add));
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(personUri, new String[] { PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null );
if( c.moveToFirst() ) {
int nameIndex = c.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME);
contactName = c.getString(nameIndex);
}
c.close();
cur.close();
String out = "";
Date d = new Date(Long.valueOf(time));
if (protocol == null)
out = "Sending to: "+ contactName + " <"+add +">\nDate: "+d +"\nBody: "+body+"\n\n";
else
out = "Received from: "+ contactName + " <"+add +">\nDate: "+d +"\nBody: "+body+"\n\n";
tv.setText(out);
setContentView(tv);
}
}
