Disable SMS in Android

Question

Hey,

I'd like to include a feature in my application that would include a running background service that would disable SMS, if certain conditions were met (location for instance). Is there a way I can intercept the user wanting to open any SMS app and block it? Would a Broadcast Receiver be able to do the trick?

Maybe a different way to go about this? Thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

Maybe this can be done by writing my own SMS client? Although I'm not sure how it would help if another client was chosen when trying to send an SMS. I've been at it the whole day and didn't figure out much. Could a content observer help? on content://sms?

Answer 2

I haven't found a way to do this. I think like the user before states it can't be done.
