[Q]Messaging(SMS) App allowing plugin development by third-party developers? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I'm planning to implement some features which require modification of an sms before its sent out. Now.. AFAIK intercepting an outgoing message is not possible, and I don't want to go about developing an entire SMS app.
Hence, I was wondering if there are some messaging apps out there which allow plugins/extensions by providing some sort of API through which I can modify the outgoing text. Can anyone suggest something in this regard?
Of course, one possible way to go about would be to modify the open-sourced AOSP messaging app or some other open sourced messaging app to include my functionality. In that case can someone point me to such an open sourced app?

[Q] SMS Intent Filter

I'm developing an SMS scheduler android application, and would like to include my app in the chooser when a user is trying to send an SMS outside of my app.
i.e. after using the voice commands to create a message, it asks which application you'd like to use to complete the task.
I'd like to add my app to the chooser for as many starting points as possible, including possibly the ability to intercept a message after you press send in the messaging app, and ask if you want to send it with my app.
I believe I should be using intent filters with particular mimetypes, but I dont know which ones. Is editing the manifest all I have to do?
EDIT: is this the correct thread?
So I've been working on sending information from another activity in the same app. I have a main menu activity with a listview containing pending messages and a compose activity which can accept strings, etc to load into the edittext fields. (This works)
Do I need this bundle to be in a particular SMS formatting (keys for Strings and such)?
No it belongs in android development.

[Q] Editing Apps

The goal is to be able to change small things in some apps.
For example, there is an app called SnapChat which allows you to send a picture for 3 seconds and then closes the picture. In this scenario, I would like to be able to edit the .apk file to allow to stay for 4 seconds. Would this kind of this be possible?
How so?
It is possible, but it's not a trivial task, and in most cases an intellectual property infringement. Contact the app developer with your suggestions instead.

[Q] HELP - how to create a android video chat app

Hello,
I am trying to build an android application that included a live video chat function. Users will log in, select the person they want to chat with and connect. Then once the call has finished they will be requested to complete a form providing feedback.
This is just one function of the app so I am worried about using these sites that provide the service of video chat as I would need to be able to incorporate it in to the app as appose to that being the only function of the app. In many ways the app will function a lot like skype in that all users will have a profile. But I would like the option of having ‘1 to many’ calls not just ‘1 to 1’.
I am a complete novice. Please could you advise me how I would go about creating this? What software to use to build my app (preferably free) what server system I would need to use etc.
I do hope you can help.

Self hosted SMS synchronization/sending server?

Hi all,
There are a lot of apps out there like MightyText, AirDroid, or DesktopSMS that allow you to send SMS messages from your PC. The problem with these services is that all the TOSs show that messages could be saved on their server. They also give pretty universal permission control to the application. While I'm sure these apps are "safe," I'm looking for a self-hosted solution, where I can host a website that my SMS/MMS content is synchronized to, and allows me to send SMS/MMS from the web browser (or companion app).
Is there something out there that does this? If not, I'm going to look into developing it myself.
Thanks!
Platform
I'm a developer and I had to create something for one project of mine and in time it became a whole project by himself.
I've created a self-hosted SMS marketing platform that it's integrated with more than 150 SMS providers you can bring your own device if you require it.
Have a look at selfhostedsms.com

Please advise: how to implement scheduling through automation

Hi, I have a note 4 lollipop. The Samsung messaging app is great because you can schedule messages to be sent later, I believe Gmail also has this capability though perhaps not yet from the app.
However I communicate with people mostly through telegram, what's app, viber, facebook, etc. None of these offer delayed messages capability.
I was wondering if there was some automation app or combination of apps, that I could use to request the message and time in a dialog then wait until that time and then macro control some app and paste the text there to send.
I'm interested in a non root solution however, root is a good plan B. Although xposed onky works on one device I have, so non xposed is probably preferable.
Does anyone have any ideas or would this not be possible due to security sandbox in type restrictions?
