Question

I'm using EventHandlerMessageReceived to receive SMS messages in my Tizen application. While I can successfully read the message content using ReceivedMessage.Text, I'm unable to find a way to retrieve the sender's phone number.

Could you please explain how to get the sender's phone number when using EventHandlerMessageReceived?

Answer

Problem Understanding

The user wants to retrieve the sender's phone number from an SMS message received through the EventHandlerMessageReceived event in a Tizen application. While they can access the message content, they need help accessing the sender's information.

Solution Methods

Access the Message object from the event arguments
Use the From property of the Message object to get the sender's address
Extract the phone number from the address information

Code Examples

private void OnMessageReceived(object sender, MessageReceivedEventArgs e)
{
    // Get the received message
    Message receivedMessage = e.ReceivedMessage;
    
    // Get sender's address
    MessagesAddress senderAddress = receivedMessage.From;
    
    // Get sender's phone number
    string senderPhoneNumber = senderAddress.Number;
    
    // Use the phone number as needed
    Console.WriteLine($"Message from: {senderPhoneNumber}");
}

Additional Tips

Make sure you have the proper privileges declared in your tizen-manifest.xml file:

<privileges>
    <privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/message.read</privilege>
    <privilege>http://tizen.org/privilege/message.write</privilege>
</privileges>

The From property returns a MessagesAddress object which contains not only the phone number but potentially other address information as well.
Always handle cases where the sender information might be null or unavailable.
