How to retrive the name of incoming message

[frangdara]

Hello every body

I want to retrieve the name from Contact Database of corresponding to the phone number of incoming message.

It means that when my application will receive a message, it should search and retrieve the name based on the phone number of incoming message.

Does anybody have any idea about that.

Thanks in advance

Does anybody have any idea about that.

You can get it using TMsvEntry class which has member data iDetails which will give you name corresponding to the phonebook entry.

See this article: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...e_Phone_Number

Use entry.iDetails instead of FromAddress() of CsmsHeader class.

Hello Kiran

Thanks for your help. I need both the phone number and Name of the incoming message. In order to get phone number we are doing like this

iSmsMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL(aEntryId);
iSmsMtm->LoadMessageL();
CSmsHeader& header = iSmsMtm->SmsHeader();

TPtrC from = header.FromAddress();
const TDesC& phoneNumber = from;

Now if I wanna get the name corresponding to the phone number of incoming message, should I do some thing like this
iSmsMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL(aEntryId);
iSmsMtm->LoadMessageL();
SmsHeader& header = iSmsMtm->SmsHeader();

TPtrC senderName = header.iDetails;
const TDesC& name = senderName;

now next step is that I want to add this phoneNumber and name to the body of incoming message .

Here is Message Body
HBufC* SMSContent = HBufC::NewLC(400);

SMSContent.Copy
HBufC8* SMSContent8 = HBufC8::NewLC(400);
CRichText& richText= iSmsMtm->Body();
const TInt length = richText.DocumentLength();

SMSContent->Des().Copy(richText.Read(0,length)); // Gives you actual content(Body) of SMS
richText.Reset();

SMSContent8->Des().Copy(SMSContent->Des());

TBuf<160> arrivedMessage;
arrivedMessage.Copy(SMSContent8->Des());

now in arrivedMessage we have the message body.

Now could you be kind enough to guide me how to add the name and phoneNumbe (which we have retrieved above) to the arrivedMessage.

Thanks in Advance

Not like that. You can retrieve corresponding name with this method.

CMsvEntry* serverEntry = iSession->GetEntryL( aEntryId );   // current entry
CleanupStack::PushL( serverEntry );
TMsvEntry entry = serverEntry->Entry(); 
TBufC<50> number_with_name(entry.iDetails); // This will give you name of a contact if there is corresponding entry in the phonebook
...

Now could you be kind enough to guide me how to add the name and phoneNumbe (which we have retrieved above) to the arrivedMessage.

See this Wiki article: SMS Operations

Let me know if you still find any problem with that.

Hello Kiran Br

Thank you very much. It is just working fine with that code, which you have mentioned.

You always help me, either it is on the Nokia forum or giving me time for meeting.

Hello Kiran

Now I want to proceed with this SMS stuff.

I have the application which receives the SMS and forward it. The maximum length which the application can forward is 160.

Now I would like that the application should send automatically two messages if the length of incoming message is more then 16o and should send three message if the length of incoming message is more then 320 and so on.

Do you have any idea or reference to some relevant links.

Thanks in advance

Read the received messages in the heap based descriptor(HBufC) with maximum expected size. And try to forward the same content as that of HBufC variable and see what happens.

Hello Kiran


When I am trying to declare the size of HBufC 3000, as you can see in the following code. Then the program crashes by giving the error App. Closed: Main KERN-EXEC 3. When I tried to investigate it through Logfile, It crashes in CreateMsgL() of SmsHandler.

Here is My MessageReceivedL() function

void CSmsHandler::MessageReceivedL( TMsvId aEntryId )
    {
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nMessage Received"));
    CMsvEntry* serverEntry = iSession->GetEntryL( aEntryId );   // current entry
    CleanupStack::PushL( serverEntry );
    
    TMsvEntry entry = serverEntry->Entry(); // currently handled message entry
    
    entry.SetNew( ETrue );
    entry.SetUnread( ETrue );
    entry.SetVisible( ETrue );

    serverEntry->ChangeL( entry );  // commit changes
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nAfter ChangeL"));
    
    
    // This will give you name of a contact if there is corresponding entry in the phonebook
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nBefore iDetails"));
    TBufC<50> numberWithName(entry.iDetails); 
    

    
    iSmsMtm->SwitchCurrentEntryL(aEntryId);
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nAfter SwitchCurrentEntry"));
    iSmsMtm->LoadMessageL();
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nLoadMessageL"));
    
	
    //to retirve the phone number
    CSmsHeader& header = iSmsMtm->SmsHeader();     
    TPtrC from = header.FromAddress();
    const TDesC& phoneNumber = from;
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nAfter from"));
    
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nBefore HBufC"));
    //Buffer for reading the SMS Content
    HBufC* SMSContent = HBufC::NewLC(3000);
    
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nBefore HBufC8"));
    HBufC8* SMSContent8 = HBufC8::NewLC(3000);
    CRichText& richText= iSmsMtm->Body();
    
    const TInt length = richText.DocumentLength();
    
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nCopy RTB in Sms"));
    SMSContent->Des().Copy(richText.Read(0,length)); // Gives you actual content(Body) of SMS
    richText.Reset();
    
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nCopy Hbu in hub8"));
    SMSContent8->Des().Copy(SMSContent->Des());

    TBuf<3100> arrivedMessage;
    arrivedMessage.Copy(SMSContent8->Des());
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nCopy 8 in arMsg"));
    //Notify the observer
    WriteToFile(_L8("\nBefore Notify"));

    //Both of the following function calling the Notify() correctly
    iObserver.Notify(arrivedMessage, phoneNumber, numberWithName); 
                       OR
    iObserver.Notify(SMSContent->Des(), phoneNumber, numberWithName);

    CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(3); 
	}

Here is the parser and forwarding function

void CSmsManipulator::Parse(const TDesC& aMessageData, const TDesC& aSenderPhone)
	{
	iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nIn Parse"));
	//set the phone number for acknowledgments
	iSenderPhone.Copy(aSenderPhone);
	
	
	//For log file
//	HBufC8* ph = HBufC8::New(400);
//	ph->Des().Copy(iSenderPhone);
//	iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\n Phone No:  "));
//	iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(ph->Des());

	//Message Body should not be empty
	if(aMessageData.Length() > 0)
		{
		// Message format: <RCTRL> 1234 A1 12345678901...
		_LIT(KCommand,"<RCTRL>");
		
		//Check for the command message
		if(aMessageData.Mid(0,7).Compare(KCommand) == 0)
			{
			iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nCmd Msg"));
			TBuf<10> password;
			TBuf<20> phoneNumber;
			TBuf<10> comand;
			
			password.Copy(aMessageData.Mid(8,4));				
			iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nPwd Retrived"));
			//Varify the password
			if(VarifyPassword(password))
			{
			iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nPwd Varified"));
				comand.Copy(aMessageData.Mid(13,2));
				
				//check for the activation
				if(comand.Compare(_L("A1")) == 0)
					{		
					iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nA1 Cmd"));
					iSmsHandler->iSmsHandlerState = ETrue;
					iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nState is True"));
					phoneNumber.Copy(aMessageData.Mid(15));
					iPhoneNr.Copy(phoneNumber);
					iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nBefore Ackw"));
					//SendAcknowledgment();
					iSmsHandler->WriteToFile(_L8("\nAknwt Sent"));
					}
				//check for the deactivation
				if(comand.Compare(_L("D1")) == 0)
					{
					iSmsHandler->iSmsHandlerState = EFalse;
					SendDeactivationMessage();
					}
			}
			else
				//if invalid password send the acknowledgment
				InvalidPassword();
			
		}
		else
			//If normal message and the SmsHandler is active. Thens forward the message
			if(iSmsHandler->iSmsHandlerState && iPhoneNr.Length()>0)
				{
//								
				TBuf<3200> messageBodyWithName;
				
				messageBodyWithName.Copy(_L("Msg From:  "));
				
				if(!&iMessageDetails)
					messageBodyWithName.Append(iMessageDetails);
				//messageBodyWithName.Append(_L(" <"));
				
				
				messageBodyWithName.Append(iSenderPhone);
				messageBodyWithName.Append(_L("\n"));
				
				//Finally append the message body and send it.
				messageBodyWithName.Append(aMessageData);
				
				SendSms(messageBodyWithName);
//				
				}
		}
		
	}

Could you be kind enough to have a look and tell me about the reason
