Consider collaborating with Finder #3

Closed Atrate closed 3 years ago

Atrate commented 3 years ago

Finder is an Android app that serves the exact same purpose as this app, yet is more developed.

It may be beneficial to put effort into contributing to Finder, instead of developing a separate app with the same premise.

Thanks for telling me about Finder. I wasn't aware of that app. It looks awesome.. much better than this one.

I only wrote this app quickly, as a useful experiment.. while playing around with SMS-related APIs. It works, but as you suggest.. isn't very polished.

I'm curious why the minSDK in Finder is 17 (Android 4.2). This app only requires 11 (Android 3.0).

This could be a good trope to follow — if it doesn't require too many hacky workarounds, making Finder more compatible with older Android versions could prove very useful
