[APP][2.2+]: Sweep Texting

Sweep Texting allows users to receive, view, and send text messages, all without touching their phones. It uses the proximity sensor to implement intuitive gestures: you can sweep down your screen as though you're giving permission for the app to "come" to you and display itself. An alert dialog will then pop up with the text message and you can reply to it within the dialog itself (you don't have to switch out of the app you're currently using). Then, when you want to send the message, you simply sweep up as though you're commanding the text message to "go away" and send itself.
Since the app is completely touch-free (with the exception of typing in your actual message), it is extremely useful in hands-free situations where looking at the screen and switching through multiple screens to access messages may be a hazard (driving, for instance). The app also gives users a nice futuristic feel to their text messaging experience and allows them to customize it with multiple color schemes.
FULL LIST OF FEATURES:
--Sweep down to view a text message after it arrives.
--Sweep up to send your reply back to whoever you're texting.
--Tap on your message to go directly to your Inbox.
--Supports multiple messages from different senders.
--Supports messages longer than one text message.
--Hide a message and then sweep down to view it again at a later time.
--Choose between Holo styled (ICS only) or five different dialog colors.
--Choose between five different text balloon colors.
--Toggle to disable in Landscape mode.
--Toggle to enable/disable "Message Sent" sound.
--Enable/Disable toggle so you can turn off the app's features when you don't need it.

Unfortunately, the app is only available in the United States for now (due to export tax law issues). I'll be rolling the app out to other countries soon, though!

Really like this app though sadly it doesn't work with 3rd party messaging apps specifically sliding messaging (what I'm using) only seems to work with stock :-\
also can't reopen text a after dismissing..

Yeah, I could only find Intents that work with the stock messaging app when a text comes in. I'm actually working on porting it over with Google Voice and other 3rd party messaging apps are on my to-do list. I'll let you know when the updates become available.
And "Dismiss" is supposed to mark a message as read (so you won't be able to access it). If you want to be able to access a message after you view it, you should use the "Hide" button (that's what it's for). Glad you like the app though!

Are you using one of the custom color schemes? I don't think they have support for the "Hide" button (I couldn't get the dialog to accept more than one button for some weird reason... prolly an SDK bug). Try using the Holo theme. You can see from my screenshots that there actually is a "Hide" button for the Holo theme. Hope this helps!
Also, if you like the app, please consider sharing it with your friends/leaving a rating and review on Google Play. That'll help support future development of this app. Thanks!

I'm using the color schemes included in the app
EDIT just switched to holo theme can see hide and others now thanks
also showed my dad he loves it have been showing it off to people as I do with any neat thing I can get for my phone

I don't think activities can be shown on the lockscreen. The text message dialogs are individual activities so I don't think I can place them on the lockscreen. If I do find a way though, I'll implement that into the app. Thanks for the tip!

k cool, i would also like to pint out that if you are using a alt messaging app that has an option to wake upon receiveing a text enabled the app works fine, though if it wakes to the lockscreen and is in your pocket at the time you receive a text then this app wont respond to any sweeping after unlocking until you receive another text (unless of course the same scenario happens at which case you'd have to open the text normally) now if there is a way for it to ignore all sweeping over the sensor while at lockscreen then this would be fixed but as im not an app dev idk what you can and cant do, maybe something to look into maybe a waste of time idk, just the only thing that i can think of that would provide a nice work around

That sounds like a good plan. I'm looking into implementing that right now.
Also, the price of the app has been reduced by 25% ($1.50). It has also been released in most European Union countries, so if you weren't able to download it before because of country limitations, you can get it now (as long as you're in the EU)!

Also just found that under certain situations sweep texting may keep the proximity sensor on even if there are no more texts but a user workaround is to freeze the app with titanium backup or rom toolbox(what I use) or the like and then to unfreeze it will see if I can figure out what causes it or get log for you

how about a simple " f " ?
like anydash, but i think you have to design it yourself tho
just get the idea from there i guess?

Any chance of getting Facebook Messenger support? On my phone I use Messenger more than the actual Facebook app.

I rather like this notification setup. I like the new version. Great job with this.
Only wish it could go straight to the notification I'm clicking (if it's a single notification) rather than just to the Facebook App.
But no real complaints. It's great!

SMS app like Chat Heads??

So the new Facebook messenger comes with chat heads and I really like the idea of it. I was wondering if anyone knew of a strictly SMS texting app that is similar in that it allows me to reply AND VIEW my messages on top of any other app? pop up reply is cool from certain apps but I like that I can view my messages with chat heads. thanks!

Thanks for the tip! Does it use a lot of data if i just use it for SMS? And i'm looking into Ninja sms now

So ninja SMS is cool but I like chatheads in that I can actually view a convo whenever I want (not just when I receive the message). like I want a tab or something to always be visible

Ya I saw that to! I emailed the developer about that, and a few other glitches I found in the 5 minutes I had it running. I can see it going far in the app world, but there are some items that need to be addressed.

I love the idea but I'm still wanting a tab or something to ALWAYS be showing in any app, ya know? so I can view (or create) messages anywhere without leaving my current app

I would love to have only the popout function (like on FB-messenger) but on my stock SMS-app.
I really like the stock-feeling and honestly, Facebook really succeded with their popout. Sleek, good looking, smooth and functional.
Wish there were some kind of extension

Wish it would work with whatsapp too

Device not compatible at&t s4..

Can you post the APK for those that don't use the Play Store?

Installed!
It shows up as #9 on the list when searching "hangouts widget"
Anyways, it's visually appealing and I like how the plus sign takes you directly to current messages or to create a new one directly as well.
I'll see if any new messages appear on the widget since you say it doesn't show old messages

when I install the widget I can't send any messages in Hangouts anymore. It will just try and retry to send forever. Need to uninstall widget and reboot the phone to get it working again.

This app is completely independent from hangouts and uses notifications to get the messages, so it shouldn't alter your ability to send messages at all... It is more than likely just coincidence that it is working now and not then.

This is still new my friend it's not even publish yet in playstore so it hasn't been themed yet From MOD Themers!

I know it's new. My mistake in wording. What I meant to ask was-did Google include in the app to have a dark theme. I don't know why app developers dont just include that.

Google does not let you change anything about the Gmail UI, including the stupid gray font for read messages that makes it difficult to read the subject lines. I used the App Settings to increase the font size for Gmail only, because the default font size is intolerable.

Great! Working ok!
