How to block sms programmatically?

Question

3.00/5 (2 votes)

See more:

abortBroadcast() doesn't work.
The code is as follows:

C#

public class SMSReceiver1 extends BroadcastReceiver
{
    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
    
         this.abortBroadcast();
		Toast tag = Toast.makeText(context, "Abort Broadcast!!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG);
		tag.setDuration(30);
		tag.show();

My intention is to block incoming sms message. But after abort function, incoming message is still shown to user as I used a Toast.

Toast.makeText(context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

How do I do?
Please, reply me ASAP.
Have a nice day you all.

I don't know how you can block an sms message before it is received.

However, reading a SMS via Android can be done after it is received can be done using a query on the SMS inbox. The SMSPopUp application for Android does this and more. The sourcecode of this application can be found here https://code.google.com/p/android-smspopup/

For example, look at the getSmsDetails method in the SMSPopUp application.
