[adamski9000]

Hi
I have problem with a simple thing and I cant to solve it . I dont know where is problem . Maybe you help me.
I want to print incoming sms, so I write code:

import inbox
import e32

def detect_sms(sms_id):
box = inbox.Inbox()
cont_sms = box.content(sms_id)
number = box.address(sms_id)
smsinfo = "id:" + str(sms_id) + "Number:" + str(number) + "Cont:" + str(cont_sms) + "|"
print(smsinfo)

box = inbox.Inbox()
box.bind(detect_sms)

Emulator returns error:

Traceback (most recent call last)
File "c:\python\z_test.py", line 7, in detect_sms
number = box.address(sms_id)
SymbianError: [Errno -21]
KErrAccessDenied

Thank you for help

hello adamski9000

thats strange and never checked on emulator but you generally get ERROR -21 when you dont have sufficient permissions to access the place you are trying to access. In your case thats the inbox.

Hi Adamski9000,

In detect_sms() method you have to use wait for some seconds.I have modified your detect_sms() method try this code.

def detect_sms(sms_id):
    e32.ao_sleep(10)
    box = inbox.Inbox()
    cont_sms = box.content(sms_id)
    number = box.address(sms_id)
    smsinfo = "id:" + str(sms_id) + "Number:" + str(number) + "Cont:" + str(cont_sms) + "|"
    print(smsinfo)

Hope it helps for you.

Thank you Pavan and Gaba88 for help.

I dont understand this problem with waiting and sufficient permissions, but the most important - it works well !
I added method e32.ao_sleep(10) and everything is OK !

Thank you and rgards

The problem is that Inbox class is buggy, the callback is called too early. The c++ implementation should be changed.
