Reading sms

first you install the library


 npm i react-native-read-sms

Then go to project in android studio and paste these lines in AndroidManifest.xml


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />


startReadSMS = async () => {
    const hasPermission = await ReadSms.requestReadSMSPermission();
    if(hasPermission) {
        ReadSms.startReadSMS((status, sms, error) => {
            if (status == "success") {
                console.log("Great!! you have received new sms:", sms);
            }
        });
    }
    else {
        console.log("hi");
    }
}

and then call this function on a onpress method of a button or simply call this function do that it will show a pop of allowing the permission

Method 2


import React from 'react';
import { View, StyleSheet, Text, PermissionsAndroid, Button } from 'react-native';
import * as ReadSms from 'react-native-read-sms/ReadSms';
// camera permission for react native
const requestCameraPermission = async () => {
    try {
        const granted = await PermissionsAndroid.request(
            PermissionsAndroid.PERMISSIONS.READ_SMS,
            {
                title: 'Camera Permission',
                message: 'App needs camera permission',
                buttonNeutral: "Ask Me Later",
                buttonNegative: "Cancel",
                buttonPositive: "OK"
            },
        );
        if (granted === PermissionsAndroid.RESULTS.GRANTED) {
            console.log('Camera permission given');
        } else {
            console.log('Camera permission denied');
        }
    } catch (err) {
        console.warn(err);
    }
};

In this method we’ll call the PermissionAndroid of react-native then write a function then call the function on a onpress method


<Button title="request permissions" onPress={requestCameraPermission} />
        </View>

then you can use that thing

Method3

npm i react-native-sms

npm i react-native-get-sms-android

Add permissions to your android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml file.


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />


import com.react.SmsPackage;
import com.tkporter.sendsms.SendSMSPackage;
import android.content.Intent;



@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
//probably some other stuff here
SendSMSPackage.getInstance().onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}


import com.tkporter.sendsms.SendSMSPackage;
import com.react.SmsPackage;
