title: How send a message to the emulator using DDMS in Android studio
body: <p>i am trying to build a text messaging application in android, the code works, but the only thing wrong about it is that i cannot send messages to the emulator using DDMS. I have pasted my code below, just in case it is necessary, and i have the screen shot immediately after </p>
  
  <pre><code>package com.example.oghenekaroedoh.sms;
  
  import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
  import android.content.Context;
  import android.content.Intent;
  import android.os.Bundle;

  import android.util.Log;
  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 = "SMS from ";
          if (bundle != null)
          {
              //---retrieve the SMS message received---
              Object[] pdus = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
              msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
              for (int i=0; i&lt;msgs.length; i++){
                  msgs[i] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu((byte[])pdus[i]);
                  if (i==0) {
                      //---get the sender address/phone number---
                      str += msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
                      str += ": ";
                  }
                  //---get the message body---
                  str += msgs[i].getMessageBody().toString();
              }
              //---display the new SMS message---
