Hi, I need to write an application that can intercept emails, extract keywords from the mail body and act accordingly when finding specific keywords. I read that you are not able to intercept mail communication, only SMS, so I guess I will need a different approach.
Is it possible to intercept the TCP communication (incoming / outgoing) and filter email communication, e.g. by running a service that is autostarted when the device is turned on. This service would extract the keywords form the email communication and trigger some actions in the main application? I am totally new to Android development and only familiar with BlackBerry development so far. The BlackBerry version of this application I am trying to replicate uses the BlackBerry Transcoder API to intercept imcoming and outgoing email. I need to do this for the Android platform now. But unfortunately it doesn't seem to be possible to do. Any idea / tipp on how to implement something similar for Android? I read that long-running services are not "allowed" for Android, too, so this is the second big problem I have while implementing the software. To cut a long story short: I need a "service" that intercept email communication, for triggering some actions in the client application and (later on) encryption of the email communication. Is this possible? Andi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
