Using Android Search Interface for searching stored SMS Messages - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As a College Project, I have to create an Android App for searching the SMS Messages stored in the device. for eg. if one types "hi", then all the messages containing the word "hi" are displayed on screen. I know that this is directly possible in the new Android versions but now I can't change the topic and I'll have create such an app and complete it in January 2012!
I have searched on Google and have found 2 ways:-
1. Using the Mobdev Wiki Tutorial and searching for the messages, which is complex and I have not yet used databases for programming so it is fairly new for me.
2. Using the Android Search Interface for directly using Android's search UI and make things easier and simpler for me.
I need suggestions on which method is suitable and what other options are available. And how can the SMS Database be linked to the Android Search Interface and the messages be displayed properly on screen. Looking forward to your suggestions and answers, if you don't have time, please atleast give links to useful resources related to the above problem!

[Q] App/Tool to detect "silent sms" existing or possible?

Hello,
I've read quite a bit about the so called silent sms or stealth sms which can be send to your phone to track you down and which do not show up as actual sms received.
I already did an intensive search for an app or something to detect those sms - they have to be recognized by the phone somehow, so there must be a way to get this information and display it to the user doesnt it?
I'm pretty sure there would be plenty of interest for an app like that, but since I have no clue where to start I'm askin here for help.
Is there any tool out there that could achieve this? Are silent sms registered in the Android System at all so that they could be detected?
Hope someone can enlighten me a bit.

discussed this topic with some people in the past. I think you need a baseband change to detect, and most basebands are proprietary

Instagram integration to Android & IOS help please :)

Hi folks,
Will try and keep this short.
I am at the moment having an Android app and an IOS app made by a professional company. It has cost me £10,000.00 for both apps.
It is a map based app with markers. When clicked on a marker an info box pops up witha Facebook icon linked to page, Twitter etc
I desperately want to add Instagram icon that links to that persons page.
I am being told that at the moment this is not possible and that the only thing that can be linked to via the icon is images.
I am after just clicking the Instagram icon and that takes you to the whole Instagram page of that person.
They are using the native Android APK and the same for IOS.
Are they correct in saying that Instagram has not yet released a SDK/API yet.
Quoted for the company email to me,
On your request to also integrate Instagram to the app, we will be unable to assist due AT THIS STAGE simply due to the fact that Instagram to date does not provide android and ios sdk/api so we cannot integrate instagram directly in any android or ios apps at present. We can still design the user interfaces and integrate the app with Facebook.
Thanks for any help folks

Hi folks,
Is there any reason why no one can answer this please?
Have I not followed rules or something? I just assumed this was the best forum on the planet to ask such a question and I am surprised no one has answered?
Can you recommend somewhere else I could possibly get answers for my question please?

[Q] Having a difficult time getting Eclipse set up

Hi, I'm having a hard time working within Eclipse and getting started. I'm used to Visual Studio and thought I could start writing code, debug and go.
What I've done so far is downloaded Eclipse for android developer tools, and started downloading a bunch of plug ins for different versions under the Android SDK. I have downloaded many sdk build-tools, but I'm unsure how to compile and debug (the equivalent of hitting F5 in VS) so I can see what my application previews as and test it.
Can someone help me get to the point where I can write code and test/debug it visually? I've installed API's 14-20.
Thanks for reading.
I watched the video here
http://www.xda-developers.com/xda-t...-1-setting-up-eclipse-and-android-sdk-xda-tv/
trying to resolve this on my own, still no luck. Is there anyone who can get my setup, so I can stat building Hello World projects?
Here is what I am seeing with the most basic application for "my first app"
I can't post a screen capture because of lack of number of posts, but here is the link with some spaces

You most likely never got an answer as you provided no real troubleshooting info like IS version, how you installed it and where. Also there are many tut know the site about setting up eclipse. Best bet might be looking in the theme threads as that is what it is used for primarily. Also might check the google developers page. You have to remember this is not a support forum. Basic questions like this most of the time will go unanswered
