===== Integrating Antispam Apps with SDMM =====

Antispam apps are classifed as apps that block messages from the user's standard text messaging app. These apps simply block messages, and in some cases they respond to the sender according to the user's setup in the antispam app. Your app will not have permission to modify existing messages in the SMS database. If your app requires this feature either select a different **Access Type** or contact us for premium access details.

SDMM allows your app to abort messages prior to being processed by a full-featured messaging app. When you integrate and register with SDMM, SDMM will notify your app of any incoming messages prior to them being processed by the full-featured app.

To integrate with SDMM, do the following:

1. [[SDK|Download and import the SDK]] into your IDE. You will need to include the SDK as a library in your app's project.

2. Copy the //sdmm_default_strings.xml// file to your /res/strings directory.

3. Change the following entries to match your app:

<code java>
<string name="sdmm_app_version">1</string>
<string name="sdmm_app_name">Super Duper Messaging Manager SDK</string>
<string name="sdmm_app_id">sdmm_test_id</string>
<string name="sdmm_package_id">com.sdmmllc.superdupersmsmanager.sdk</string>

<string name="sdmm_sms_received_class"			>com.sdmmllc.superdupersmsmanager.sdk.SMS_RECEIVED_CLASS</string>

<string name="sdmm_wap_push_received_class"		>com.sdmmllc.superdupersmsmanager.sdk.WAP_PUSH_RECEIVED_CLASS</string>
</code>

The //sdmm_app_version// is for your reference only when we are assisting with debugging online. 

Enter your app's name for //sdmm_app_name// - this should match your Play Store name.

After your register your app with SDMM, you will receive the //sdmm_app_id// for this app. For testing you do not have to change it. 

Enter your app's "package name" for //sdmm_package_id//. We use this to validate your app's access authority since many developers have lots of apps and **Access Type** may change over the life of the app. 

Your //SMS_RECEIVED_CLASS// should be the class that has the INTENT-FILTER for SMS_RECEIVED and //WAP_PUSH_RECEIVED_CLASS// should be for WAP_PUSH_RECEIVED (if your app captures MMS intents). This should be a fully qualified class name (i.e. com.example.receivers.sms_receiver).

4. Change the //sdmm_access_type// to 2:

<code java><string name="sdmm_access_type">2</string>
</code>

5. To register your app with SDMM on the device, include this call in your //Application// class "onCreate" method (if you do not have one, you can easily create one [[http://www.devahead.com/blog/2011/06/extending-the-android-application-class-and-dealing-with-singleton/|for example]]):

<code java>
public void onCreate() {
        SDSmsManager.initialize(this);
        SDSmsManager.getDefault().setReceiverCallback(mCallback);
}

private SDSmsReceiveCallback mCallback = new SDSmsReceiveCallback() {

	@Override
	public boolean onReceive(Intent intent) throws RemoteException {
		YourAppSmsReceiver receiver = new YourAppSmsReceiver();
		receiver.onReceive(SDSmsManager.getContext(), intent);
		boolean aborted = false;
		if (intent.hasExtra(abort)) aborted = true;
		Log.i(TAG, "SDMM integration success! message aborted: " + aborted);
		return aborted;
	}

	@Override
	public String testCallbackConnection(String text) {
		Log.i(TAG, "testConnection text:" + text);
		return "Connection successful for " + TAG;
	}
		
	@Override
	public boolean reload() {
		return false;
	}
};
</code>

Replace //**YourAppSmsReceiver**// with the name of your app's SMS receiver where you receive SMS messages.

6. With each SMS, SDMM will send a duplicate SMS broadcast with a "DUPLICATE" extra. When your app recognizes an incoming SMS/MMS that should be blocked, check the SMS intent for the SDMM extra "DUPLICATE" so your app can signal SDMM that the message should be aborted. To block the message, check for the DUPLICATE extra and abort the broadcast like this:

<code java>
String sdmmDup = "";
if (intent.hasExtra(SDSmsConsts.SDSMS_DUPLICATE)) sdmmDup = SDSmsConsts.SDSMS_DUPLICATE;
if (!SDSmsConsts.SDSMS_DUPLICATE.equals(sdmmDup)) {
      // your code here
      //
      //
      // if you want SDMM to abort the message, include the following two lines
      if (your_code_abort_this_message) {
            setResultCode(0);
            setResultData(SDSmsConsts.SDSMS_ABORT);
      }
} else {
      // like the example above, these codes tell SDMM to ignore the broadcast
      setResultCode(0);
      setResultData(SDSmsConsts.SDSMS_ABORT);
}
</code>

Setting the appropriate result code and result data will tell SDMM that the message should not propagate further. It will not be written to the SMS database.

7. Replace all SmsManager calls with SDSmsManager calls, like this:

<code java>
SDSmsManager sms = SDSmsManager.getDefault();
try {
	sms.sendTextMessage(phoneNumber, null, message, sentPI, deliveredPI);
} catch (Exception e) {
	// error sending message, attempt to resend or ignore
}
</code>

9. If you use a SqliteWrapper, like many examples that are readily available, simply replace your import statement in those classes with the following:

<code java>
import com.sdmmllc.superdupersmsmanager.database.sqlite.SqliteWrapper;
</code>

The included class does URI resolution normally except that the standard "sms" authority is replaced with the "sdsms" authority. When SDMM is the Default Messaging App, SDMM will handle the call. If another app is the Default Messaging App, it will resolve to the standard "sms" authority and your response message will be written to the SMS database.
