How to move SMS to secure box in HTC - android

I'm making an Android program. It's SMS related. I have an HTC and since UI has secure box option to move SMS, I want to "move" to this folder in my program. Does anyone know how to do that? And of course validate if this feature exists before trying to move?

I figure it out. You need to update the SMS database and update the htc_category column to 1.
Just use contentResolver and uri content//sms/ (like update read sms) and just update that column too.

on the htc go to msg then on the top your going to see messages pass secure

Is there a way to change Sms Limit from android studio?

I am creating an app for a person I know for his company, he needs to send many SMS to his workers(shifts mostly). He asked me to create this app but now after I almost fished it I found out that there an SMS limit, is there a way to change it from the app with permissions or something and not make him dig through his root? Or at least make the annoying message pop up just once and not for every message that sends after the limit reached?
you have to use abd command to open that restrictions here is the link for tutorial
change sms limit
Go to the android platform tool directory
(C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools)
open command shell by using Shift+mouserightclick
and enter this command
adb shell
settings put global sms_outgoing_check_max_count 5
settings put global sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms 9000000
I am actually reducing the number so Android warns me if I have sent more than 5 SMS messages within 30(9000000) minutes. Change “5” to whatever number you wan
is there a way to change it from the app with permissions or something
No, sorry.
Or at least make the annoying message pop up just once and not for every message that sends after the limit reached?
No, sorry.
If you wish to send bulk text messages, use a hosted SMS delivery service, such as Twilio.

So how can I see the logs in Jelly Bean?

I used to use an app called Log Collector to see system logs. It would send them to my email or via bluetooth,
However, on Jelly Bean the "read log" permission for apps no longer exists and apps can't read the logs, and Log Collector is obviously no exception.
So does one now need to root the device to see system logs? There must be a way for the user to read them. I don't need to access them from an application, I need to read them as a human being. Is there a way?
I got the answer in this google groups thread:
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/android-developers/READ_LOGS/android-developers/6U4A5irWang/8xOi74KfRIYJ
the message by Mark Murphy replying to Matteo Sisti Sette (which is me).
(it doesn't seem to be possible to link to a particular message, is it?)
POWER + VOLUME_UP + VOLUME_DOWN will generate a report and a screenshot that you can send via email or upload to Drive (ridiculous you can't share it in an arbitrary way such as send via bluetooth or open as text file, but anyways).
(seems you have to hold them for a while and the action is launched when you release them)
At first I thought he was making fun of me and that would just reboot or something, but then I tried and it works.
Quote from Google+ and credits to +Ian Clifton :
"If you go into the developer options of a device running 4.2, you can check the box to add the Bug Report option to the power menu. This also adds it to the quick notifications menu (not sure of the proper name, but slide down the notification shade with two fingers on a phone or on the right side of a tablet)."
..and that would be right answer.. Cheers

How to obtain Phone Number in Android?

This is an extension to the question here. Now I quote CommonsWare
There is no reliable way to retrieve mobile number of device programatically. The only option remaining and I can think of is getting user to input for the phone number.
My question is how to check if the phone number entered by the user is correct for these and any more possibilities which I cannot think now:
The number entered by the user is of the same device the app has been downloaded on.
User did not make any typographical error while entering the number
User did not enter any local calling code like leading 0
I have spend sufficient time on StackOverflow and web and this is not a duplicate question.
I will appreciate any help, clues or suggestions.
1.The number entered by the user is of the same device the app has been downloaded on.
Again this is something kind of impossible to test, else the Tricky way mentioned by #neteinstein
2.User did not make any typographical error while entering the number
3.User did not enter any local calling code like leading 0
I think you still not aware of this library by google,used for Parsing/formatting/validating phone numbers for all countries/regions of the world.
Using that you can achive your other 2 solutions.I think.
Link : http://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/
If you are willing to possibly spend some user money you can send an SMS to yourself (number inputted by the user) and check if it arrives.
If it does, the number is correct. If not... either you have no network, or the number is incorrect.
I don't even think the phone has the number visibility, according to my experience with Mobile Operators, only on their side they have that visibility.
Though I do not know about nr1, I think you can solve problem nr 2 and 3 quite easily by analysing the number while its a String. That way you can easily check what characters it contains and what positions these characters are on.
I hope this helps.

How to prevent "sms sending"/texting on android?

I want to prevent "sms sending"/texting on android.
There are some applications doing that but i don't know how?
eg.:
Textecution
Stop Drunk Text 2.0
Stop Drunk Text 2.0, as far as I can see, works by messing up the contacts you choose to prevent texting to.
About Textecution - I could't get enough information about its mechanism but I guess that it blocks running the Texting application somehow, not actually sending messages. Maybe one could tell more about it if he saw the app in action, which I haven't.
I think that if you have accepted them to have the permission to send sms you will have to stick with that UNLESS you download Droid Wall (my choice) and you choose to block internet/phone network access to those applications.
Remember, Droid Wall. It's free in the Market. You'd have your phone rooted in order to let it work by the way.

Is there a way to to create a custom answering machine in android?

I'd like to create an app that allow you to filter incoming call to various answering message with :
"this number is not available" for black listed phone numbers
A formal message for strangers
A informative message about what your doing for friends
I don't know how you can get automatically a call, play a recorded message then wait for the answer and record it. Or maybe there is just a way to interact with the actual answering system so I just have to plugin.
Any clue strongly appreciated. A human sacrifice for any code snippet :-)
Access to the internal telephony is not possible or planned for future releases of Android:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/e8904c82a2c4a333
This would present a security risk as app developers could intercept and hijack sensitive calls (eg. telephone banking)
This is not possible on the tmobile G1 at this time. There is no way for an android SDK application to access the call input or output on this hardware/firmware combination.

I'm not sure this answers the question, but it is somewhat related I think.
You can install Ultimate Voice Recorder which can record your conversations (very useful when calling customer 'service'). Since it can record it, it must have some way to access the conversation.
Also, the capabilities you have to give the app are quite scary (translated from dutch: full internet access, intercept outgoing calls, change preferences, call phone numbers directly, record audio/take pictures, update contacts, auto startup). It seems to me there must be something in there that can help you?
However, I don't think it can inject audio into the stream. The symbian version had an option to insert beeps into the conversation, but I don't think the android version has it.

I have found out att for this use of your Phone Android or ISO, so far they ar decades behinde symbian and an inferior alternativ sadly, if you don't install a custom kernel/jailbreak it's not possible to record incoming calls and screen them. "Ultimate Voice Record ned you to use the phone in speaker mode."
it is possible to record voice calls with automatic answer. An update on this issue would be very helpful...
It is possible to have a resource that answers the calls. Enter a message and record the call. And together don't activate the microphone...
In short, an answering machine...
