Not triggered by an RCS user #6

Hi @anevero,

I believe you're aware that users using RCS messaging can't easily trigger the GPS response of this app. Have you ideas/plans for changing this or is this not something you're concerned about?

I can think of two different approaches.

  1. Try to receive the RCS-message-received intent. This isn't well documented yet and varies between apps/manufacturers as far as I'm aware. There are some crumbs on stack exchange.
  2. Allow triggering an SMS from within the sms_my_gps app screen. As sms_my_gps can already send SMS this should be simple enough, although there will be some care needed to reconstruct a valid phone number and store the required prefix (to request their gps).

This is of interest to me - I'm happy to put some time into implementing something here (although, only very slowly!).

My feeling is that 1 isn't yet a sensible option, given the lack of public info. 2 has the downside that the app is needed for the requester if they use RCS, but it's no worse than the current situation.

Thanks
