not get sms even when set the highest priority and installed first

Question

My app does not receive SMS when Go SMS is installed. I set the highest priority and have tried installing my app before installing the Go SMS app. However, Go SMS always get SM

Answer 1

As the question you are linking to explains, once the GO SMS app's receiver gets called, they can call abortBroadcast(). Assuming they are using the highest priority possible (=2147483647), I would assume that the following snippet from the docs would apply:

The order receivers run in can be controlled with the android:priority attribute of the matching intent-filter; receivers with the same priority will be run in an arbitrary order.

However, since they always happen to intercept SMS before your app, I would assume that the magic is somewhere else. Among their permissions, they have the following:

• "android.permission.PERSISTENT_ACTIVITY"
• "android.permission.WRITE_SMS"
• "android.permission.READ_SMS"

Do you mind trying a combination of these, to see if it affects the ordering of intent resolution?

Answer 2

I have faced the same problem.

As per the documentation by Android, Highest priority must be 1000 http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/IntentFilter.html#SYSTEM_HIGH_PRIORITY

But this application is using a higher priority evading the guidelines.

Don't Be Evil You better follow the guidelines.
