Android Question Detect OS version in a service (i.e KitKat)

[lymey]

This may be a silly question, is it possible to amend this part of the code to run in a Service? If not, how can you get the default package?
Thanks!

  Dim context As JavaObject = Activity
   context = context.RunMethod("getContext", Null)
   Dim so As JavaObject
   Dim package As String = so.InitializeStatic("android.provider.Telephony.Sms").RunMethod( _
     "getDefaultSmsPackage", Array As Object(context))

Do you want to detect the OS version or do you want to run this code?

Sorry, I wasn't very clear!

I want to be able to detect the OS version ( I can do that with phone sdk) and then run this code to see what SMS app is the default. This will be done in a service.

Use the code posted here to get the context: http://www.b4x.com/android/forum/th...onaljar-and-javaobject-picasso.40904/#content

Thanks Erel, that was easy!

Is there a way of 'listening' for a change in the default SMS app setting - So if the user changes the setting, the service can detect it?

Not that i know of.
