SMSManager and Pending Intent

Question

I have a question about an SMS app i am creating (learning purposes).

On sending an SMS i would like to have a toast message appear once it has been deleivered (or not)

Problem is once i have hit send i would like to close the activity but still have the toast message (in this case) appear giving me the info.

As i am new to this i am not sure how to go about this. All i have done is wait for the information to come through, set up the message then close the activity.

private void sendSMS() {
    PendingIntent deliveredPI = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(DELIVERED), PendingIntent.FLAG_NO_CREATE);
    deliverActivity = new BroadcastReceiver() {
        @Override
        public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
            switch (getResultCode()) {
                case Activity.RESULT_OK:
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS delivered", 
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    finishActivity();
                    break;
                case Activity.RESULT_CANCELED:
                    Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), "SMS not delivered", 
                    Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    finishActivity();
                    break;           

            }
        }
    };

    registerReceiver(deliverActivity, new IntentFilter(DELIVERED));        

    SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
    sms.sendTextMessage(toNo, null, toSend.getText().toString(), deliveredPI, null);

    ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
    values.put("address", toNo);
    values.put("body", toSend.getText().toString());
    this.getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);

}

private void finishActivity() {
    unregisterReceiver(deliverActivity);
    Intent intent = new Intent();
    setResult(123, intent);
    finish();
}

Im sure this is possible somehow, even to pass it possibly to another activity.

It probably sounds a bit pedantic but it allows me to learn new ways of doing things... so if anyone can point me in the right direction that'd be great.

Thanks!

There are ways to show the toast after an activity is closed, for example see this question: Android: Show toast after finishing application / activity

See this as well.

had a look, i can get the toast to appear (as in calling it) then i finish the activity... from what i can tell this is the same as starting a thread for the toast message and then getting the thread to sleep after the amount of milliseconds the toast message is up for... no? – Mar 02 '12 at 05:20
