Why GtalkSMS intercept SMS before be launcher/connected ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I recently installed the application 
LBE Security service who tracks rights of applications.
I get a warning when I received a SMS to ask if I shoud give access GtalkSMS to 
it.

I'm agree that gtalkSMS could read my sms to display them when it's launched 
and connected. But why do that before ?? It's a little worry.

Regards.

Hi

Don't be worry, GTalkSMS is register as a SMS reader. So when you receive a SMS 
a part of GTalkSMS is called. 
If the application isn't started/connected we do nothing.
The Android OS didn't know if the application is started, so we are called 
anyway.

GTalkSMS ask a lot of permission because we use many features of the phone, 
it's the power of this application.

If you understand Java you can have a lock on the source code available on this 
website.

I'm closing this issue because it's not a bug.

For this kind of questions don't hesitate to use the mailing list

Thank you

Just to ammend: The SMS receiver is active even when the App is not running 
because we have a feature that allows to start GTalkSMS by sending a special 
keyword via SMS.
