Can we delete an SMS in Android before it reaches the inbox?

Question

I am deleting an SMS from the inbox but I want to know: How can I delete it before it reaches the inbox?

Answer 1

/**
 * Check priority
 * @param activity
 */
public static void receiverPriority(Activity activity){

    Intent smsRecvIntent = new Intent("android.provider.Telephony.SMS_RECEIVED");
    List infos =  activity.getPackageManager().queryBroadcastReceivers(smsRecvIntent, 0);
    for (ResolveInfo info : infos) {
        System.out.println("Receiver: " + info.activityInfo.name + ", priority=" + info.priority);
    }
}

Check priority and set higher priority (in your manifest) than other receivers.
