Hi,

i have managed to successfully write a little test app that can receive and send SMS, but got a couple of questions. (That's 'cos part of the code i copied from elsewhere and i would like to understand better).

  1. In my AndroidManifest as well as the sub-class of BroadcastReceiver, there is reference to the string literal "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED". However, i couldn't find any reference in the API that mentions this. Could someone point me to some reference that lists/explains these?

  2. As part of getting the message from the Intent, i did this:

Object[] pdus = (Object[]) intent.getExtras().get("pdus");

Again this question is related to the use of hardcoded string literal. Where is the string "pdus" listed and described?

Thanks in advance!
