android - How to put the received sms in a string attribute -

i wrote program displayed receiving sms. trouble putting sms string variable.

  object[] pdus = (object[]) bundle.get("pdus");        msgs = new smsmessage[pdus.length];                    (int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++){            msgs[i] = smsmessage.createfrompdu((byte[])pdus[i]);                            str += "sms " + msgs[i].getoriginatingaddress();                                 str += " :";            str += msgs[i].getmessagebody().tostring();            str += "\n";                }         //---display new sms message---         toast.maketext(context, str, toast.length_short).show();         intent intenthome = new intent(context,mainactivity.class);        intenthome.setflags(intent.flag_activity_new_task);        context.startactivity(intenthome); 

how can put entire message 1 string variable have tried this,,,

string s = new string(str) ; didn't work. also, want use string settext viewtext variable

i used code, worked when called message mainactivity class. but, indeed, want use in same class

public class smsreceiver extends broadcastreceiver 

i wrote

set_sms();         //---display new sms message---        intent intenthome = new intent(context,mainactivity.class);        intenthome.putextra("msgcontent", message);         intenthome.setflags(intent.flag_activity_new_task);        context.startactivity(intenthome);    }                           void set_sms() {    activity x = new activity() ;      bundle extras = x.getintent().getextras(); if (extras != null) { message = extras.getstring("msgcontent"); }  }
