EPICS SMS Forwarder

This Android application receives structured emergency SMS messages and forwards them to an EPICS backend using HTTP POST. Messages follow the format:

EPICS#<STATUS>#<LATITUDE,LONGITUDE>#<COUNTRY>

Features

• Runs in the background and listens for SMS messages from authorized senders.
• Filters messages based on the EPICS prefix.
• Extracts status, location and country information.
• Logs incoming messages in a local Room database with retry tracking.
• Forwards information to a configurable API endpoint using OkHttp.
• Uses WorkManager with network constraints so messages are retried automatically when connectivity is restored.
• Simple PIN-protected admin screen for setting the API URL.

This repository only contains a skeleton implementation; additional work is required to build a production-ready application.
