From b0381688b8556f4f0a86bb534c8bc52275f16d12 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Taylor Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:27:25 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Add private permission for sending SMS via Messaging app When the phone dialer sends an sms, it will use the Messaging app. That way the sent messages will end up in the messaging provider db and sending will be more reliable. Currently, the phone dialer uses the SmsManager directly. For now, the feature is only available to system apps and the permission is private.
