Share My Creation SMS2Speech

Hi guys (and girls)!

I made a new App and would like to hear your comments...


It reads out loud your incoming SMS and supports 21 languages (depending on the TTS engines you have installed on your smartphone).

Im quite new in programming with b4a and the forum helped me a lot with it, so thank you a lot!

I would really be happy, if you test it and write your comment about!

You can find it here:

Yes. When you call Service.StartForeground you actually ask the OS to not kill your service. The result is that your app process is kept alive.

BY using an intent filter you can intercept the message even if the app is not running. When the message arrive the process will start (if needed).

In the later case there will not be an ongoing notification icon (unless you explicitly add one).

that was actually what i already know about it.
i think its better to set the startforeground, because then the user can activate and deactivate it easily and the status bar notification is shown. so i think in this case, the startforeground thing is the better solution for it.

but thank you very much for your suggestion and your support! (thats the reason, why i love b4a!!!)
