You would have to ask the developer of each SMS application on each phone that question. For the Messaging application, there is no documented and supported content provider for that client. And, that's not the only client. > I have been reading on some > pages and seems it was removed without any information on why, and it > has not been replaced with something new.

Sometimes, it it because they are not ready to support the interface for the next decade-plus. Sometimes, it is because they want to give OEMs the freedom to replace AOSP apps and do not want to tie the OEMs hands by forcing them to implement certain APIs. Sometimes, it is a matter of engineering priorities. And, of course, as you note, sometimes it is tied to security. There are probably other reasons as well -- those are the four I know off off the top of my cold-fogged head. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.8 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
