An app to track a Android device using SMS.
Atention: this app is ugly, i created it to my own use, not recomended to anyone.
works on Android API level 9 Android 2.3(Gingerbread) to 22 Android 5.1(Lollipop).
There is no functional UI, you need to add the settings direct to code.
This app will run as a service, waiting for an incomming menssage with a specific text. When it arrives, it will get coordinates through GPS satellites (the GPS must be active) and put them into a SMS to send to a number previously added.
Parametes of settings:
-
In file MyReceiver.java line 23 : the keyword that must have in incoming SMS
-
In file MyReceiver.java line 98 : the destination and format options to outgoing message
TODO:
- start at boot time.
- version support to api level > 22 (need to request premissions at runtime).
- UI with start/stop buttons and place to input preferences, help page;
- Remove duplicate call of broadcast receiver.
- Possibility to install as a System app (including its preferences), (https://stackoverflow.com/q/25446236/4086871), to work as a realiable anti-theft app.
