SMS read and send

Monkey Targets Forums/Android/SMS read and send

Hi there,
I have some questions before starting a new project as I am not sure if it is doable.

The task is to monitor incoming SMS and parse them and when the message is of a certain format do some actions, for example send a reply SMS or do something else (send email, wait for user input, schedule SMS for later transmission, read GPS coordinates, calculate some stuff, create alarm clock entry...).

Is it possible to get access to incoming SMS, is there any notification system if a new one arrives?

The following tutorial indicates it is possible but I doubt Monkey is a suitable tool for developing the project you outline.

Thank you for the links, quite interesting stuff.

So it is possible to hook into the receive part that's good to know.

btw. Something which is used also in some games is to read the acceleration and orientation sensor of the phone, are there API's available or is it easy to integrate?

If you are a new user you may want to browse the mojo.input API docs to see what Monkey already supports in these regards.
