I am building a flutter app in which i want to capture incoming sms. I searched on pub.dev and found few packages offering similar functionality i.e. sms_maintained and sms_retreiver etc. I tried them but i am not satisfied with the provided functionality. I need more control such as listening to incoming sms messages while app is not running and manual control to start and stop listening for messages. So, i am thinking of writing own SMS handling code from scratch instead of using a package. I want guidance to achieve this. i.e. where to start??? I am new to flutter and mobile app dev, i don't know whether my question is worthy of being answered or not, that's why i am asking.
You are going in a big project by implementing a package like that. But there is no door a dev can't open :-)
There are some thing you should know before starting your project:
You have to learn how to create a native Flutter plugin, a plugin implemented in platform-specific code (Java/Kotlin, Swift/Objective-c, C/C++/Go) which communicate with some Flutter UI code (written in Dart) via Platform Channels.
There are some tutorials found over the web:
Hope this will help, and good luck!
