Im creating a SMS Application to send and receive sms.I can send SMS using

SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null,message , pi, null); 

I want to receive SMS and put in my own inbox(how to create this inbox?) and it has to work same like the normal inbox.

Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();     
        Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus"); 
        SmsMessage[] messages = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];    
        for (int i = 0; i < messages.length; i++) 
        { 
            messages[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[i]); 
            Log.v("SMSFun","Body: " + messages[i].getDisplayMessageBody());
            Log.v("SMSFun","Address: " + messages[i].getDisplayOriginatingAddress());   
            //If say we wanted to do something based on who sent it       
            if (messages[i].getDisplayOriginatingAddress().contains("5556"))    
            {        
                // we could launch an activity and pass the data   
                Intent newintent = new Intent(ctx, SecretMessage.class);    
                newintent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
                newintent.putExtra("address", messages[i].getDisplayOriginatingAddress());
                newintent.putExtra("message", messages[i].getDisplayMessageBody());
                ctx.startActivity(newintent);
            }
              }

how to bring the incoming sms to my inbox? Is it possible in Android to listen to particular port number for SMS?

A: 

What you need to do is register a BroadcastReceiver object. Check out this article for more information.

If you want to hide SMS messages from the primary inbox, you'll need to delete them from the SMS ContentProvider and use your own SQLite database to store them. Also be sure to mark them as read in the content provider to remove the notification from the tray.

I don't think you can place sms in different inboxes and you don't listen to a port to get SMS you use a BroadcastReceiver.

I would recommend you to go through the open source smspopup app to get a better idea of how things work for sms in general.

hi, U can send and recieve message using SMSMAnager class. U can implement custom Reciever that on msg recieved it will notify user that message has arrived.. Here i am attaching code that i have written to send and receive message using Custom Broadcast reciever, It might be useful to u. Note: This is for the version 1.6 above..So make sure that u do it in 2.0 or 2.2 preferably.

Go through it and try to implement it..
