How to receive Sms in android/SMSReceiver in android

We can create a sample smsreceiver application, so that whenever a new sms comes to the mobile, our app will display a toast about the message.
In this example, you need not to create an activity. The only class needed is Broadcast Receiver. Broadcast Receiver will wait for a desired intent and executes when the condition reached.  In our example, the broadcast receiver will automatically loads whenever an sms is received. To do this, you need to create intent filter in your manifest file

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
               
            </intent-filter>



Smsreceiver.java
package com.example.smsreceiver;

import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class SmsReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

                @Override
                public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
                                 //---get the SMS message passed in---
        Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();       
        SmsMessage[] msgs = null;
        String str = "";           
        if (bundle != null)
        {
            //---retrieve the SMS message received---
            Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
            msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];           
            for (int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++){
                msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[i]);               
                str += "SMS from " + msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();                    
                str += " :";
                str += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString();
                str += "\n";       
            }
            //---display the new SMS message---
            Toast.makeText(context, str, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }                        
                               
                }
 
  
}

SmsReceiver Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example.smsreceiver"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <receiver android:name=".SmsReceiver"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
               
            </intent-filter>
        </receiver>

    </application>
</manifest>

Thread describes in which context the function or sequence of instructions should be executed. So, every block of code or functions runs in a thread, right? Also, you can load multiple threads to perform different block of codes  How to start a thread? Thread thread = new Thread(){     public void run(){       System.out.println("This is a thread");     }   }     thread.start(); So when coming to android, before learning about coroutines we need to discuss some scenarios. Normally how an app works when user launch an application. When user launchers the application, a main thread is created. This thread is intended to do small operations like button clicks, UI interaction , small mathematical operations. We cant perform long running op...
