why is my sms reciever code not responding

I'm a newbie to android programming
I am trying to read incoming SMS and the SMS sender number and display it in my app.
As soon as my phone receives an SMS the app closes
Is there a simple Solution, Should I not be using two classes in the same activity
package com.example.readnewmsg;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.databinding.DataBindingUtil;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Telephony;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.telephony.SmsMessage;
import com.example.readnewmsg.databinding.ActivityMainBinding;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private ActivityMainBinding binding;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_main);
}
public class SmsListner extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
if (intent.getAction().equals(Telephony.Sms.Intents.SMS_RECEIVED_ACTION)) {
String smsSender = "";
String smsBody = "";
for (SmsMessage smsMessage : Telephony.Sms.Intents.getMessagesFromIntent(intent)) {
smsBody += smsMessage.getMessageBody();
smsSender += smsMessage.getOriginatingAddress();
binding.MsgText.setText(smsBody);
binding.NoView.setText(smsSender);
}
}
}
}
}
I have Added these permissions in My manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
And also these intent filters
<application
android:allowBackup="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<receiver android:name=".MainActivity$SmsListner">
<intent-filter android:priority="999">
<action android:name="android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
</application>

Moving a file from one computer into other computer

I am a really really new developer. I am currently work a BLE stuff with my friend, but we always have an issue to move my project into his computer, and his project move to my computer.
He does not like to use GitHub at all, me too actually, so we want to just use flash drive to transfer the project folder.(this is the way I found from stackoverflow.com)
I always have errors, and this transfer folder way never work as we respect.
Most of question from "Cannot resolve symbol 'R' such as:
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
I already look up online, and most of people just say "clean project", but it does not work at all.
Some of people said, activity_main.xml has problem, but I cant find the problem.

mAdvertiseSettingBuilder.setAdvertiseMode(1);
mAdvertiseSettingBuilder.setTimeout(0);
mAdvertiseSettingBuilder.setTxPowerLevel(2);
mAdvertiseSettingBuilder.setConnectable(true);
mAdvertiseSettings = mAdvertiseSettingBuilder.build();
BroadcastButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.BroadcastButton);
BroadcastButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
startAdvertise();
}
});
StopBroadcastButton = (Button) findViewById(R.id.StopBraodcastButton);
StopBroadcastButton.setVisibility(View.INVISIBLE);
StopBroadcastButton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View view) {
stopAdvertise();
}
});
}
Here is my activity_main.xml

Sometime there are other red lines, but now the R problem just make me crazy.

Android, Background service is not starting

I am implementing a simple application executing a background service, I am not able to start the service, following is my Manifest & Code, the service class is properly resolved ( reading resources ), inheriting from IntentService ( and implementing the req methods ) doesn't resolve the problem as-well...
Why does the Background service doesn't start?
any help will be appreciated.
Manifest:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.newcomp.vagent"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0"

</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
</manifest>
Service code:
package com.newcomp.vagent;
import android.app.IntentService;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.R.*;
import android.os.IBinder;
import java.io.IOException;
import fi.iki.elonen.NanoHTTPD;
public class CaptureService extends Service {
public CaptureService() {
//super("Capture Service");
}
#Override
public int onStartCommand(Intent intent, int flags, int startId) {
return Service.START_NOT_STICKY;
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
}
}
Activity code:
package com.newcomp.vagent;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
final String strSvcName = getResources().getString(R.string.startup_service);
//setContentView(R.layout.main);
Toast.makeText(getBaseContext(), String.format("Hello from '%s'", strSvcName), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Class cls = null;
try {
cls = getClassLoader().loadClass(strSvcName);
startService(new Intent(this, cls));// Starts the service
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//finish();
}
}

The problem was simple, the service was actually starting but since android:process=":captureService" was specified it was starting on a separate process, one that is not connected by the debugger, either specifcally connecting to the service process, OR, omitting android:process=":captureService" resolve the problem.

Background service doesn't work

I am trying to create an Android app in Android Studio.
The app is mainly a background service to send some information to the server around every 15 seconds or so.
I have created an empty activity, boot receiver and a service class, but it doesn't work.
Could somebody help me, and explain why it doesn't work.
The relevant files:
MainActivity.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity
{
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
finish();
}
}
BootReceiver.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.content.BroadcastReceiver;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
public class BootReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver
{
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent)
{
context.startService(new Intent(context, RobinsService.class));
}
}
RobinsService.java
package nl.robinvandervliet.robinsapp.app;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class RobinsService extends Service
{
private Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
//Opening connection to the server.
while (true)
{
//Sending some data to the server.
//Sleeping for around 15 seconds.
}
//Dead code, should never reach this place.
}
};
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent)
{
return null;
}
#Override
public void onCreate()
{
new Thread(runnable).start();
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext()).setContentTitle("MyService is running!").setContentTitle("(more information later)").build();
startForeground(1, notification);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Service created!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</manifest>
Thanks, Robin.

Since you haven't implemented some parts yet I assume you just want it to run when you boot your device. Maybe take a look here. Adding an extra action in the manifest might solve your problem.

Android NFC Tag Read. intent always null

I am trying to read an NFC tag when the app is opened (opened automatically when I scan the tag), but I can't seem to read the payload. In fact, I can't seem to pick the tag up at all. I have used another app to read the tag's mime type and payload - everything seems fine.
Apologies if this is an obvious one - I have read the documentation and checked various other sources before posting, to no avail.
There are no errors I can see and code compiles fine.
Code below. Logcat shows:
08-30 20:15:50.248: E/Activity...(3703): Hello world. Intent Type: null:
package com.spotsofmagic.spotsofmagic;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.bluetooth.BluetoothAdapter;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.nfc.NdefMessage;
import android.nfc.NdefRecord;
import android.nfc.NfcAdapter;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.os.Parcelable;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private static final String TAG = "Activity...";
private NfcAdapter mAdapter;
private TextView mTextView;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
// grab our NFC Adapter
mAdapter = NfcAdapter.getDefaultAdapter(this);
// TextView that we'll use to output messages to screen
mTextView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_view);
displayMessage("Loading payload...");
// see if app was started from a tag and show game console
Intent intent = getIntent();
Log.e(TAG, "Hello world. Intent Type: "+ intent.getType());
Manifest file;
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="14" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.NFC" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.nfc" android:required="true" />
<application
android:icon="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
<activity
android:name=".CardActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<!-- Handle a collectable card NDEF record -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.nfc.action.NDEF_DISCOVERED"/>
<data android:mimeType="application/vnd.spotsofmagic.bluetoothon"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>

The NFC intent filter is for CardActivity, not for MainActivity. So I would expect that the problem is in CardActivity.
