I have an application that registers a BroadcastReceiver for Intents actioned "android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED". I'm, aware that this was removed from the documentation between 0.9 and 1.0, though it has continued to function since. I've never been totally clear about the status of this Intent. Something that adds to my confusion is that there is a permission called "RECEIVE_SMS" which is even used as an example in the security documentation:
For example, an application that needs to monitor incoming SMS messages would specify: <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="com.android.app.myapp" > <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" /> </manifest> taken from http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/security.html This broadcast is extremely useful for applications (and if it was removed, I'd hope that it was replaced by something equivalent) but I dislike being dependent upon it without knowing its future. Can anyone provide any clarifications on its current or future status?
