android-4.4-kitkat

How can we set proxy in Android webview programmatically on latest Kitkat release? This SO link WebView android proxy talks about version upto SDK version 18.

The onReceive() method is working fine, but as soon as I quit the app and enter it the sms disappears. I checked in the stock messaging but there's no sms either. I cant figure out what the issue is My Androidmanifest: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <!DOCTYPE xml> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android

Can I send SMS using no default SMS app on Android 4.4 Kitkat ? It means, Can I send SMS without ability to write to SMS Provider? I confused about that on Android 4.4 Kitkat. I wonder I can just send SMS using non default SMS app or not. You can send SMS even if your app isn't the default SMS app. However, you won't be able to use the SMS provider.
