Added SMS Notification Feature and Permission Request for Silence/app
Summary
This update introduces a new feature to the Silence app that enhances how blocked calls are managed. It includes sending an SMS to blocked numbers and various user interface improvements to inform the user of blocked calls and necessary permissions.
Features and Improvements
SMS Notification to Blocked Numbers:
When a number is blocked, the app automatically sends an SMS to the blocked number. The SMS requests the caller to send their name and reason for calling. Permission Request:
Implemented a permission request prompt for the user to allow the app to send SMS messages. Ensures compliance with user privacy and permission protocols. User Notification:
Added a popup notification that prompts the user to check their messages whenever a call is blocked. Enhances user awareness and ensures they are informed about the blocked calls and incoming messages. Bug Fixes
None in this update. UI/UX Changes
Popup notification added for informing the user about blocked calls and the need to check their messages. Code Refactoring and Optimization
No major refactoring or optimization in this update. Documentation
Updated the user guide to include information about the new SMS notification feature and permission request. Added in-app tips to help users understand the new functionality. Please review the changes and provide feedback. Looking forward to your comments and approval.
We need to make sending SMS on call rejection optional. Someone may want to use it, other may not. Because users live in different countries, speak different languages we need to make SMS text editable.
Settings will be the right place for it. There have to be a text field where user can write a message. If the message text is empty (default), than we dont send SMS. If user adds visible text, on edit we ask for SEND_SMS permission and save text to preferences. Because user have to enable it manually we dont need to show alert dialog.
Dont forget that calls may be not from local mobile numbers.
Oke sorry for the misunderstanding I will change it to settings to make the sms message optional.
