手提式应用禁止显示SMS_RECEIVED广播

Question

i have an app in the market that handles android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED broadcasts. now i realized, that the broadcast is not sent anymore (or at least i don't get it anymore) as soon as handcent sms is installed on the particular device.

1. how is it possible that an app can suppress a broadcast from being sent?
2. is there a way to still get the broadcast?

thanks simon

Answer 1

how is it possible that an app can suppress a broadcast from being sent?

SMSes are sent as an ordered broadcast. High priority receivers can abort the broadcast, preventing lower priority receivers from getting their chance at it.

is there a way to still get the broadcast?

Have your receiver have a higher-priority <intent-filter> than Handcent, which may or may not be possible.

Or, uninstall Handcent.
