and another suggestion: you'd better make a copy of sms project in another directory,eg,mysms.then modify something to make it compile correctly On 2月5日, 下午3时27分, binklee <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > For a research, my goal is to modify the 'Messaging' application (the > package : packages/apps/Mms) > > 1) My first idea was to take the package from the open source code and > to begin a new (external from the source code) android project from > this package in order to test the modified application using the > eclipse plugin and directly launch it in the emulator.
