Remove listener

[shubham2102]

How can we remove the listener? As of now everything works fine but the listener is not getting removed. I've tried

SmsListener.removeListener();

And I am getting error:

TypeError: TypeError: _reactNativeAndroidSmsListener.default.removeListener is not a function.

Hi, @shubham2102 I am not maintaining this repo now, you can fix this issue yourself

just add

    public void unRegisterListener() {
        Log.d(TAG, "unregister");
        unregisterReceiver(mReceiver);
    }```

in xxModule.java 
and call this instead of removeListener

Will try to update the code by this weekend

Hi @Rajat421 it's giving this error:

Code changes were:

@ReactMethod 
    public void unRegisterListener() { 
        // Log.d(TAG, "unregister"); 
        unregisterReceiver(mReceiver); 
    }

in RNSmsRetrieverModule.java

And I was accessing the unregister method in my application by:

            SmsListener.unRegisterListener();
