how to change image in imagebutton when sms is received
<p>i've been working with my thesis and i've been stuck with receiving sms. i was able to pass the message body from the broadcastreceiver to activity and toast the message in the activity. however, there are multiple imagebuttons and a specific image button will change based from the message body.
my code looks something like:</p>

<pre><code>public String message;
.
.
.

//in my onCreate
.
.
.
Intent intent = getIntent();
message=intent.getStringExtra("messagefrombroadcastreceiver");
//Toast message here

if(message.equals("1")){
//set imagebutton1
}else if(message.equals("2")){
//set imagebutton2
}
.
.
.
.
</code></pre>

<p>the app was able to toast the message but it force closes when i added the if-else-if portion. i really have no idea what i'm doing wrong</p>

<p>LOGCATs are...</p>
