[APP][4+] SMS Reader topic

SMS READER

SMS Reader is my first android application, it uses the TTS engine on your phone to read incoming SMS as well as messages from the inbox.
I find it very useful when I am driving, running, or even while in the shower, so I don't have to reach for the phone everytime I get a message. People with low sight or even blind may also find it useful, even better with a headset.
Unlike other similar application, it has a clean and simple UI, it supports mono BT devices well and it is designed to be activated or desactivated from other applications, such as Llama, using broadcast intents.
Since v1.1.0 it comes with a widget so you can toggle the service from the homescreen and even lockscreen if using Android 5+.

Main functionnalities:
- Reads incoming messages when activated
- Reads received messages
- Widget available to toggle the service
- Integrated help
- Public intents to activate or deactivate the service from another application

Settings:
- Can be activated on boot
- Can displays the content of the message in a popup, even over lockscreen, leaving the user to choose between reading or dismissing
- Can announce the sender name / number
- Can be muted while a phonecall is active
- Can change the speech rate and language of the TTS engine
- Can change the theme between dark and light (still working on integrating Material Design)
- Can adjust the font size of the message list



Hope you'll find it useful :)

PS: While it can be installed on tablets and work without telephony, it won't do much unless the tablet can receive SMS. It was enabled in order to test the application compatibility with large screen and multi-panes.
PPS: For now it is only in english and french, I plan on adding more languages as soon as I find friends who are fluent in english and a language I miss :)
