SMS doubt

Hi all,
I was wondering how should ofono behave on a SMS reception.
Should the message be saved somewhere by ofono, or another application in
needed for that?
I'm asking because after some SMS receptions, the script list-messages does
not show anything.

Thank you

Enrico

oFono does not save anything.  One can write a history plugin to write 
this information to a database of your choice, or export this 
information via DBus/other IPC in some way.  See examples/history.c for 
a very basic example.  Search the mailing list archives for more complex 
examples of this.

Alternatively, you can write a simple application that listens to the 
MessageManager.ImmediateMessage and MessageManager.IncomingMessage 
signals to store messages.  However, this is not quite as reliable as 
the history plugin approach since if your application is not running / 
crashes, messages that are received during that time would be lost.

The Message objects exposed by GetMessages() method, MessageAdded() and 
MessageRemoved() signals are for the outgoing path only.  If you notice, 
the states are:

"
Properties      string State

                         Contains the state of the message object.  Possible
                         values are:
                                 "pending",
                                 "sent",
                                 "failed"
"

Hope this helps.
