I want to write an android app that changes the android standard message sms GUI giving it an extra send button. The one send button should be the usual one and the other should be the one that uses my application to send the message. How do I add this extra button in the android standard sms message GUI? Anyone got an example code on how to do this?

Kind regards Benjamin

    "How do I add this extra button in the android standard sms message GUI?" -- are you building your own custom ROM? – CommonsWare Jan 22 '13 at 21:39

  • in android, both codes are available (1) send sms (2) receive sms, so you can make your own sms application UI also. no need to change default sms app. Thanks. – VISHAL VIRADIA Jan 23 '13 at 04:58

Ok, this you Cannot do for phones which are in the market. You will need to grab hold of the sources and come up with a custom ROM for users to flash.

However, as another option, you can build your own SMS application and let users install so. When users need to send a SMS, they will be asked whether we default/your app needs to be used. This way is a much cleaner approach and more reachable to users.
