BroadcastReceiver Attempts to Return Results During Unordered Transmission - SMS Receiver

Question

I know that there are many such messages, but no one helped me ...

Manifest declaration:

<receiver android:name="com.myapp.SMSReciever"> <intent-filter android:priority="99999999"> <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" /> </intent-filter> </receiver> 

SMSReciever.java

 public class SMSReciever extends BroadcastReceiver { @Override public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) { Bundle extras = intent.getExtras(); if ( extras == null ) { return; } Debug.log("launched.."); abortBroadcast(); ... huge block of code ... if ( a lot of bools are true ) { this.clearAbortBroadcast(); } } } } 

And YES, I have permission to RECEIVE_SMS

edit: added logcat if it helps debug the problem:

Solved!

The code is fine, but I used the SMS Emulator application that caused this error. According to the docs:

abortBroadcast: Sets a flag indicating that this receiver should interrupt the current transmission; only works with broadcasts sent through Context.sendOrderedBroadcast. - pay attention to this.

And it seems that the application does not start an ordered broadcast, so an exception is thrown.
