SMS deletion

[chrisrohitbrendan]

Library is great for querying, reading and sending messages but completely skipped deletion.
Also a broadcast receiver would be needed to show SMS notifications.

Could the SmsMessage.id be used to access the content provider to remove the specific message?

Also was getting a deprecated notification for the Telephony Manager, not able to reproduce. Will add when I can.

Yes you can use SmsMessage.id to remove a specific message

I working on message deletion, I will do it when I have time

[chrisrohitbrendan]

/flutter/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/sms-0.2.2/android/src/main/java/com/babariviere/sms/telephony/TelephonyManager.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.

which version of android are you using?

[chrisrohitbrendan]

I'm on Pie

[babariviere]

And there is already a broadcast receiver

[chrisrohitbrendan]

I'm a little confused about that, I know there's an SmsReceiver() but isn't that useful only during the lifecycle of my application?

Like any other SMS app I want to get the SMS when it comes while my application is closed, process it if I have to and show the user a notification. Also be able to make it the default app.

[babariviere]

I create a broadcast receiver, it should work in background. If it does not when you close the app it's because you have to spawn a background thread or launch your app on start

[chrisrohitbrendan]

Got it, will try something today. Also fetching all threads is slow cause of the findContact() call.
Would make sense to get threads, and then leave it to the consumer of your library to do a lookup for contact information

[babariviere]

You are right, I will optimize these things with my rewrite

[chrisrohitbrendan]

I have to manually append messages to a list since the queries aren't streams, is this desired behaviour?

[babariviere]

How are you using it ? It's a stream

[chrisrohitbrendan]

Stream is only provided by SmsReceiver.
Right now to get threads, I'm using queryThreads which returns a Future.

I want to be able to get an updated List<SmsThread> instead through a Stream that I can listen to.

[babariviere]

I may have to change some of my code to do this but if you want to implement it you can

[chrisrohitbrendan]

I'm good with Kotlin and Android, I was manually querying and built my app in Android before this. It's been only a few days since I started Flutter, so I'm not sure how to create plugins. If I write the necessary code, will you be to do the plugin implementation? That is if I'm not able to write the plugin implementation myself.
