Summary of the Lecture
The objectives of this lecture were to send and receive the SMS messages
programmatically, to utilize the built in messaging application in the app and send emails from
the applications. For sending messages programmatically, at first the <uses-permission
android:name=“android.permissions.SEND_SMS”/> needs to be perfect. An instance is to be
created of the SmS Manager class. For receiving the messages programmatically, <uses-
permission android:name=“android.permissions.RECEIVE_SMS”/> should be set perfectly.
Moreover, the activities can be updated easily.

Explanation of the Resources
1. This resource describes about the unifying heterogeneous mobile messaging protocols to
provide a person centric thread of conversation. Android provides the best applications for email
and messaging.
2. This resource defines the secured instant messaging and location sharing system for Android
with the help of Cryptanalysis. It secures the message with the help of cryptography.
3. This resource describes about the secured messaging services that based on Internet service.
Android has helped in this aspect.
4. This resource describes about the application that protects and detects any type of intrusion for
the Android based devices.
5. This particular resource describes about the designing and the implementation of the Android
messaging virtual keyboard.
