Google Voice & 2FA Code Autofill - Discussing a Missing Feature - General Questions and Answers

Hello XDA Developers community,
I'd like to discuss an issue with Google Voice that many of us might have experienced: the lack of support for automatically filling in two-factor authentication (2FA) codes using Android's Autofill Service.
As you may know, the Google Messaging app has a great feature that allows 2FA codes received via SMS to be automatically filled into the requesting website or application. This convenience saves users time and effort by eliminating the need to switch between apps and manually input codes. Unfortunately, this feature is currently not available for users who rely on Google Voice to receive their text messages.
I wanted to bring this issue to the attention of the XDA Developers community and gather thoughts, suggestions, and possible workarounds. I also encourage anyone who has experience with implementing Autofill Services in Android to share their insights or even a basic outline of how this feature could be added to a separate application that works in conjunction with Google Voice.
Thank you all for your time and valuable input!

Android and iPhone FreeLance developers wanted

I am looking for a freelance developer to write an Instant voice messaging and media application for Android and/or iPhone. I have already written the Windows Phone 7 version of the application and am looking to add cross platform support.
The general goal of the application is to allow for voice, picture and videos to be sent in a store-and-forward manner. Gelocation sharing may be added at a later date. You must have programming skills in recording sound, and video as well as playing sound, video and displaying pictures. Network programming is a must (sending and receiving XML formatted requests and responses).
The backend services are already fully functional and support storage, retrieval, identity verification (via SMS and Email), push notifications and more. Additional services can be created based on individual platoform needs.
If an agreement can be made, you will be provided with API documentation and application requirements. I am willing to negotiate either a flat rate or you can publish and maintain the application and app store revenue yourself.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please send me a PM or send an email to daler-at-ntworld.com.

[POLL] Email-to-SMS

Hi all:
I am a developer for an app that forwards SMS (and other things) to an email address. Obviously it would be elegant to be able to reply to your SMS right from your email account, while the other side still sees your SMS in the normal way, and the app does exactly this.
But to get the reply back to the phone via email, we need the user to enter the email-to-SMS address as part of setup. You know, like [email protected] or @vtext.com. The app has a database for some countries and carriers but obviously its a drop in the bucket.
We are finding out that maybe not a lot of people know of such a feature on their phones, hence this poll! It'll help us try some other ideas, or implement this one differently.
Thanks!

PhoneLeash - free on Android Market
Rogers (in Canada) has this service.. but they charge us for it. So not many people actually have it.
Thanks to everyone who responded. As a result of the poll results, PhoneLeash now supports forwarding SMS (and missed calls, and location, and battery status) to another phone number via SMS. And replying back to these forwarded SMS' does not require an email-to-SMS feature. If you forward to a Google Voice number (or other PC-based SMS-capable services such as HeyWire, Pinger), you can use a PC, and enjoy a very nice feature set (see this review).
Thanks for the useful development for mobile users and internet users as well.
However, I'm already using this service with the help of third party i.e. TextMarketer.co.uk
Play (Poland) already has such a service. It is free for everyone. Polish speakers can check it here: http://www.blogplay.pl/2010/11/kopia-sms-na-email-beta/

[APP][2.1+] Text Encrypt

Recently I published my first Android application on the marketplace. I kindly request your help in providing feedback for my application.
The application is meant to encrypt messages using the one time pad method. This is in reaction to increasing encroachment of several instances on our private messaging traffic.
I am available to answer questions and provide snippets of code.

[APP] Secret WhatsApp

Hello Guys,
I have developed one awesome app for rooted users in terms of privacy. I would like to share my this product with you guys so you can take advantage of this app, Also you can give me your best suggestions and feedback. You can checkout my app on Google Play Store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.corefragment.secret
Secret WhatsApp allows users to encrypt their original WhatsApp's notifications. Sometimes we require privacy about some personal contacts. Guys, till now we have just used some locking and blocking apps for the purpose of privacy. But what about that condition when you are giving your cell to someone else and your gf or bf says "I love you darling!!!" on WhatsApp ? Uff!! You have already locked your WhatsApp by other apps but someone else can read your message easily by pulling down notification bar
So if you want to restrict someone else to read your private messages even from notification bar, you are on the perfect page . We would like to help you on this mode. Secret WhatsApp will be perfect choice to encrypt your WhatsApp's notifications. And hope you will love this privacy mode
Features we would like to server on Secret WhatsApp:
- Encrypt your original WhatsApp's notifications from notification bar.
- Lock your Secret WhatsApp by passcode.
- Use widget to on/off our service directly from home screen.
Note : We have already tested with most of the customized OS. But still we require your support to improve our service.By your feedback ,we can improve strong privacy mode for you. So if you feel uncomfortable with any of the customized OS, We’re always excited to hear from you! If you have any feedback, questions, or concerns, kindly email me.
Waiting for your feedback guys.

[APP] [5.0+] Notification Diary, intelligent notification manager

Hi, my first post so let me know if I break any rules etc I was told by long-term members of this community that posting here would be a great opportunity to gain insights and feedback on applications.
We are researchers from University of Oulu and collaborate world-wide with other researchers in Human Computer Interaction. We have developed an application to intelligently hide unimportant notifications called Notification Diary.
The application relies on user-labeled training data and verification of predictions and uses machine learning and semantic analysis to analyse your notifications. We collect anonymised data from the application for research purposes - namely to understand how users interact with their notifications, how they perceive notifications' importance and finally how accurately we can create intelligent methods to prevent user from being needlessly distracted by incoming notifications.
The application is available in PlayStore : Notification Diary by Aku Visuri
We already have some core users contribution to our studies but would appreciate any extra contributions and feedback on the application. The application uses some permissions (e.g. location using hashed geofences, accessibility service to log foreground applications) to understand the situations where notifications are received and if these impact whether certain content is found important or unimportant, and e.g. calls permission to detect incoming calls. The application also requires access to notifications to read incoming notifications and manage (cancel) existing notifications. The application can read notification contents, and this information is stored only locally on your device and never uploaded. The application uses the AWARE framework to log and sync data.
So if you think this aspect of smartphone use is interesting and helpful to users, and would like to both help us as researchers or simply see how our application could be of use to you personally, please feel free to download it, use it, and reply here or PM me if you have any questions regarding the application.
We also have some questions for anyone interested in this project, and again would of course appreciate any time spent using the application.
Do you use any notification management tools? If yes, which, and how efficient do you believe them to be? And if yes, are there any downsides to the methods you are using?
tl;dr: We created an application called Notification Diary to intelligently hide unimportant notifications and would like to receive feedback on the application.
