Mobile Functionality - Recognizing Incoming Call/Text Info

Post by Gage » Wed Oct 14, 2015 4:40 pm

Hello!

I just have a question about whether the following would be possible in LiveCode. I might want to create an app that, while it's open, can detect an incoming text message or phone call to the mobile device. Upon identifying that the identity of the caller/texter is among a pre-defined list of numbers, a pre-written message would be automatically sent to that person in response as a text.

It's a lot like the feature in a phone's calling app that allows one to ignore a call and respond with a text, but it would obviously be a third-party app that would be running outside of the telephony and messaging services. Does LiveCode receive those phone activities in a handler that can do what I specified above? If so, what calls handle them?

Thanks in advance!

Phil E.

no, sorry, this is not possible with the build-in means of Livecode!

Maybe one of the fampous MergExt externals can do this?
