Android Question Sms Reading (verification code)

[Ertan]

Hello there

I will add sms verification in my application.

I have a question, very simple question.

In some applications, it automatically pasts the verification code in the sms on the sms verification screen to textbox & textview.

or on the top of the keyboard like in ios.

How can I do that?

It appears that the ability to intercept and consume SMS messages will not be allowed from Android 4.4 unless the program that we write is the default SMS App.

I never try this but you may give it a try:

SMS retriever API

Starting from Android 6 there is an Api from Google which can Listen for a Incoming SMS for you. But you do not need any Permission for this. The SMS ends up in the Devices standard SMS App but your app can do an Phoneauthentification using an SMS from your Server. Usually the way would be: 1...
