Cannot implement broadcast receiver. Need help.

[priyangamani]

Creating a class in JS:-

android.content.BroadcastReceiver.extend("com.tns.broadcastreceivers.NotificationEventReceiver", {
    onReceive: function (context, intent) {
console.log("enter");
        var action = intent.getAction();
           var messages=  intent.getSerializableExtra("pdus");
         var format=intent.getStringExtra("format");
        console.log("smsmanager",messages);
        console.log("smsmanagerformat",format);
    }
})

AndroidManifest file
   <receiver android:name="com.tns.broadcastreceivers.NotificationEventReceiver">   
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

Hey @priyangamani it doesn't become clear what isn't working for you, nor whether you've registered the broadcast receiver. Please take the time to explain detail, in a structured manner, what you are trying to do.

Thank you.

@Pip3r4o Listen For Incoming SMS Messages by using Broadcastreceiver. Why Broadcastreceiver's onreceive() method not invoked? I'm trying to implement this code and it's not working. When I receive a message, nothing logs to the console. Is there something I'm missing?

@priyangamani please answer the following questions:

• How have you attempted to trigger the broadcast receiver?

• Do you receive SMS' while your app is running?

• Where is the AndroidManifest file located where you register the Broadcast receiver? Is it the app/App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml? No other place would work.

• Where in the AndroidManifest have you inserted the block?

• What device are you testing the receiver on?

One last thing - please use the NativeScript forums for further questions when you are unsure about a certain implementation. We try to keep the issue section strictly for addressing problems.

1.How have you attempted to trigger the broadcast receiver? Just i tried to extend the Broadcastreceiver class and call the onreceiver function. I mentioned Receiver tag in manifest.. //Below file i mentioned in javascript android.content.BroadcastReceiver.extend("com.tns.broadcastreceivers.NotificationEventReceiver", { onReceive: function (context, intent) { var action = intent.getAction(); var messages= intent.getSerializableExtra("pdus"); var format=intent.getStringExtra("format"); console.log("smsmanager",messages); console.log("smsmanagerformat",format); } })

2.Do you receive SMS' while your app is running? Nothing

3.Where is the AndroidManifest file located where you register the Broadcast receiver? Is it the app/App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml? No other place would work. Yes, i declared as you mentioned

4.Where in the AndroidManifest have you inserted the block?

5.What device are you testing the receiver on? Real Android Device(Lenovo k5)

use it like this at the top declare this

declare let com: any;
declare let android: any

` testService() {

    com.pip3r4o.android.app.IntentService.extend("com.tns.notifications.NotificationIntentService" /* give your class a valid name as it will need to be declared in the AndroidManifest later */, {

            var action = intent.getAction();
            if ("ACTION_START" == action) {

             /* get the system alarm manager and cancel all pending alarms, which will stop the service from executing periodically  */
            }

` is breaking on the com.pip3r40.android.app says is undefined :(

That link to the forum doesn't work.

Regarding the initial question. I myself am in the exact situation. There is no info about this anywhere.
