[android-developers] Re: APIs to access email accounts or SMS/MMS messages

I can understand why this functionality was removed, but it's really
frustrating that I wasted several hours looking for a "dead" api.
Unless I'm missing something, the android documentation doesn't even
list it as deprecated.

Anyways, I had some success by registering a ContentObserver to the
content://sms/ ContentProvider. Its not officially supported but it
works, and it's not that hard to monitor SMS messages as they are
received and sent without stepping on the functionality of the default
Messaging app.
