Hi,

I'm using part of the GDSMS code for notification of incoming and outgoing SMS. The problem is that it also recognize MMS. Is there a workaround just to monitor sms?

just improve the logic to check the message type and take the action only if the message is really SMS.

Hi there,

Can you send me the sms example? I cannot find it at forum.nokia or in the 9200 SDK.

BR,

I'm not sure, but I think this is the right one:

I have developed an application to monitor for incoming SMS and it reads the current incomig SMS.

I am putting the code for it.


You need to create a subclass of MMsvSessionObserver
class sub_class_name : public CActive, public MMsvSessionObserver

which contains variable

CMsvSession* iSession;
CMsvEntry *iMsvEntry;
TMsvId iNewMessageId;

which include header files

#include <msvapi.h> // MMsvSessionObserver
#include<msvids.h>
#include<msvapi.h>

and in constructor of class

void sub_class_name ::ConstructL()
{
CActiveScheduler::Add(this);
// Create CMsvSession asynchronously
iSession = CMsvSession::OpenAsyncL(*this);
}

and you get notifications of session events like incoming messges in method
handlesessioneventL() in which you read the incoming SMS and that methos has to be implemented when using MMsvSessionObserver class :

void sub_class_name ::HandleSessionEventL(TMsvSessionEvent aEvent, TAny* aArg1, TAny* aArg2, TAny* aArg3)
{
switch (aEvent)
{

case EMsvEntriesCreated:
// notifies changes in the Inbox
if (*(static_cast<TMsvId*>(aArg2)) == KMsvGlobalInBoxIndexEntryId)
{
CMsvEntrySelection* entries = static_cast<CMsvEntrySelection*>(aArg1);
iNewMessageId = entries->At(0);
}
break;

case EMsvEntriesChanged:

//reading the SMS here into a rich text object , after its entry has been finally created
if (*(static_cast<TMsvId*>(aArg2)) == KMsvGlobalInBoxIndexEntryId)
{
CMsvEntrySelection* entries = static_cast<CMsvEntrySelection*>(aArg1);
if (iNewMessageId == entries->At(0))
{

// Set entry context to the new message
iMsvEntry->SetEntryL(iNewMessageId);

// Open the store, read-only
CMsvStore* store = iMsvEntry->ReadStoreL();
CleanupStack::PushL(store);

// Get body text and send it to the container
if (store->HasBodyTextL())
{


CParaFormatLayer* iParaFormatLayer = CParaFormatLayer::NewL();

CharFormatLayer* iCharFormatLayer
= CCharFormatLayer::NewL();
CRichText* richText = CRichText::NewL(iParaFormatLayer,iCharFormatLayer);

CleanupStack::PushL(richText);
store->RestoreBodyTextL(*richText);
const TInt length = richText->DocumentLength();
//iAppContainer->SetTextL(richText->Read(0, length));

TBuf<1000> textOfSMS;
textOfSMS.Append(richText->Read(0, length));
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(richText);

// buffer variable textOfSMS contains text in the SMS

}
else
{
// no text in SMS
}
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(store);
}
}
break;


default:
// do nothing
break;
}
}

yucca,
please help me!!
I have written an application to handle a BIO Message type... But I have some problems. My architecture is like the one proposed in BioExample example. I have a parser class (derived from CBaseScriptParser that is actived when the specific sms arrives.) and an external application launched automatically when the specific sms arrives..... The APPUI of this one derives from MMsvSessionObserver and I re-implemented the virtual function HandleSessionEventL() This function is called one time, after I callCMsvSession::OpenAsyncL(*this)... Besides, at the end, message box on the cellular phone doesn't respond... Even if my parser is correctly destroyed, this message box has a strange behaviour,it doesn't respond to any command....Çoul help me to understand what it's wrong my code? Thanks in advance. Lia
