Question

I have an android’s application which needs username and password, my server sends the username and password to mobile via SMS.

I was looking for a way through which my application can read the SMS and can automatically configure itself with username and password in the settings rather than manually configuring it in the settings!

AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />

<application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <receiver android:name=".Receiver" >
        <intent-filter >
            <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
        </intent-filter>
    </receiver>
</application>

Receiver.java

import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsManager;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;

public class Receiver   extends BroadcastReceiver     
{

  @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
      //---get the SMS message passed in---
    Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();        
    SmsMessage[] msgs = null;         
    if (bundle != null)
    {
      //---retrieve the SMS message received---
      Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
      msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];            
      for (int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
      {
        msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[i]);                

        checkSMS(context, msgs[i]);
      }
    } 
    }

  void checkSMS(Context context, SmsMessage sms) 
  {
    String msg = sms.getMessageBody().toString();

  }

}
