Apps So wanted to develop this app, is it easy?

Hi guys,

im a seasoned php, actionscript, etc developer but i've never tried to do droid dev, so im an absolute noob..

i will learn it soon but for now i need to do something rush rush... so i just wana know, how easy is it to do a VERY VERY BASIC SMS gateway app.. most of the filtering storing etc is done on my php / mysql/ flash side on the server.. i just need an app that basically sends and receives sms , coz that's the only part i cant do.. So the app behaves in the following manner.

1) app visits my outbox.php php script, parses the output of the script, and sends the sms to its designated recipient.. must support 3-part msgs (480 chars).. and if it's not that hard, can do MMS

2) app then sends variables to sms_stat.php to tell my php if the msg has been qued, sent, or failed

3) whenever the phone receives an SMS, the app simply pushes that to my receive_sms.php script, and deletes that sms from the phone's memory.


that's basically it, apart from a few configuration options...



so questions:

1) How easy could YOU guys do that app?
2) Just curiousity, what are the droid commands to send sms? just wanted to see its structure..
3) do you know any free app that does this already? there's a lot of sms gateway apps out there w/c are rather complicated , but lacks features that i need, and all i need is to achieve the above described behaviour.


Regards to all
