So if that is not the way you are meant to services such as alternate SMS gateways, what is? Using intents will not work as most of the sms apps have the reply for a thread built in. This is the only way i have been able to discover to capture all outgoing sms so i can either redirect them over the web or over the mobile network. I find it sort of strange that the developers of Android did not think that people would want to also use alternate networks and mediums to the gsm network for things like calls and sms. With sms prices as high as they are in Australia the internet can be up to 5 times cheaper to send them and even with data costs that is still much cheaper.
I know all apps are meant to be equal but some apps / services need to be able to do things on a much lower level or have intents or something for the lower level services of the phone as well. I am open to any ideas you have. On Mar 17, 3:31 pm, Dianne Hackborn <[email protected]> wrote: > You can't do this. Especially from the SDK, on so many levels: > > 1. ServiceManager is not public.
