POGo SMS Pro overriding android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED
text
Body
copied!<p>I have an app that allows users to forward SMS messages as they are received. Back in the day, I had the <code>android:priority</code> in my <code>intent-filter</code> for <code>android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED</code> set to barely above Android's default messaging app. I did so, so that the user can forward the messages without having to clear them in the messaging app. However, a few months later, Go SMS Pro released an update of their app with a <code>android:priority</code> value extremely high, so users with that app installed started having issues. I updated my app so that my priority was slightly higher than Go SMS Pro's and everything went fine. Now Go SMS Pro did it again, their <code>android:priority</code> has been taken up to the max value you can assign. 2147483647 on one of their broadcast receivers and 2147483640 on another (yes, Go SMS Pro has two broadcast receivers now).</p> <p>To fix this, I tried changing my priority to max just like theirs, but somehow their app keeps wining the SMS fight even though our priorities are the same. I read somewhere that Android when having to decide between two apps with the same priority, it chooses the one installed the earliest. I tried installing Go SMS Pro AFTER my app, but still nothing.</p> <p>What's the proper way to fix this? What are they doing in their app that makes them get the SMS broadcast before anyone else, even with same <code>android:priority</code> values?</p>
