I would like to acces my app from another app. For instance, i would like to, from the build-in SMS-application, to copy some text and add the text to my database. But the whole action should be done from the SMS-application. Is that possible?

Further explanation:
I am making a grocery-list app. My idea is then, that is someone text you: “Can you pick up potatoes?”, then you can long click on the sms, pick the word “potato” and add it to the database in my app, directly from the SMS-application.

Regards
Jesper

    You will find out how you can access other’s application database, and get information from there (for your application, the messages stored in the sms application database).
