I am fed up with the answers ("why do you want to do this", etc) that one often gets on a question like this. The simple answer is that this is no longer possible, from Android version 4.4. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

So with gcm it mentions going thru our servers, so does that mean we have to host something? On Mar 31, 2015 9:02 PM, "Kristopher Micinski" wrote: > The usual way to do this sort of communication between apps on > different devices is to use a push notification. An example would be > Go

The usual way to do this sort of communication between apps on different devices is to use a push notification. An example would be Google Cloud Messaging, or Parse. SMS would be possible, but just seems like a suboptimal solution when things like GCM were designed to do exactly this: there are a

So basically, you are trying to build a messenger app that uses SMS as a transport layer but doesn't affect other SMS apps? Try investigating the use of a data SMS rather than the usual text. On Mar 31, 2015 5:50 PM, "Dan Cha" wrote: > So im working or playing around with sending text/sms from w

Well it's company phones with unlimited texting as well as tablets. How would aidl, content providers or intent work between them and office's miles apart? This is a internal office app , if sms is not the way, then we need a more optimal method. On Mar 31, 2015 7:01

Using SMS to communicate *between* apps on the phone!? You should 100% *not* be doing that. It's bad design, and it could potentially cost your users money (if they pay for their texts). You can use an intent, content provider, or AIDL, and it will be way easier and much more obvious how to deal

First it seemed easier to use sms to communicate between the apps. This will only be used internally, so no public version. If there is another way to communicate only within the app that will work also, basically don't need to have the messages in 2 places, right now when I send a message it's in

What's the motivation for doing this? It seems kind of counterintuitive that you'd want to do this, because presumably if the user *does* send a text, they want a record of it. It's easy to imagine a spam app which sends tons of texts and leaves no trace of it for the user to see! But I'm a littl

So im working or playing around with sending text/sms from within our app as well as receiving replies. We will have the app on both ends(sender and receiver devices) But right now just prelim testing the messages are sent but they are showing up as text within the default text app on the phone.
