SMSGCM

------

This is just a quick little thing based off of 

[Google's GCM Demo](http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/demo.html) application.

Apache License included in their demo application:

## What is this?

This is a stupid project I started so that one day I would be able to

send and receive text messages from inside bitlbee. The first step was

to create an application on the phone to send incoming text messages

to the clients and to gather messages sent from the clients and send

them over the air to my SMS recipients. There are other tools in

existence that do this already.

Things that make this unique are that I use Google Cloud Messaging to

notify the phone of messages to be sent. Also, user accounts are

handled by SSL certificates and revocation lists. This way, I don't

have to deal with any authentication stuff.

## How do I install?

The most important thing is creating your SSL client certificate. I am

the CA for my server, so if you want to compile and use this app, you

must first send me your csr. Otherwise, this is useless unless you

implement your own server.

### Set Up PKCS12 Keystore

Download a copy of my CA certificate:

    wget http://omgren.com/ca.crt

Next step is to create your private key and certificate signing 

request. This can be done in one command:

    openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes \

        -keyout key.pem -out csr.pem

Then send me your `csr.pem`, be sure to use your correct email.

After I mail you back your certificate, eg `cert.pem`, you can

then create the p12 file:

    openssl pkcs12 -export -out my.p12 \

        -inkey key.pem -in cert.pem \

        -certfile ca.crt -caname "omgren.com CA"

Remember your password as you will need it.

### Compiling

APIs 10 and 17 are required, as is the GCM API and Android Support

Library. I think that is it. You should then be able to install

the app onto your phone with `ant debug install`.

### Running

Copy the .p12 keystore you created onto your phone. It must be on

`Download` on your sdcard and must be named `smsgcm.p12`. You can

do this with `adb`:

    adb push my.p12 /mnt/sdcard/Download/smsgcm.p12

Then in the application, go to `Settings` and input the passphrase

you used when creating the keystore.

Now go to `Import` to move the key into your app's private storage.

Now go to `Register` and see the app connect to the server.

## Where is the server?

This app requires a server to be the central hub of all the clients.

It is a Tomcat web application and it can be found [here](https://github.com/nullren/smsgcm-server).
