Cannot edit SMS generated by another application
Created by: ztenma
It is impossible to edit in Silence (vs stock SMS application) a SMS transmitted by another application as an Intent. Below is a typical usage of such functionality:
Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO); sendIntent.setData(Uri.parse("sms:")); sendIntent.putExtra("address", ""); sendIntent.putExtra("sms_body", smsBody);
It works with the Google standard SMS/MMS app, but in Silence, the sms is blank, whether the application is the default SMS app or not.
I think this is because the Intent is processed (or rather ignored) by the "Choose Contact" view before the "Conversation View", and the former doesn't relay the sms_body to the later.
Tested on Android 4.4.2 and 5.1.1 with Silence 0.14.3
