I have this problem. I am writing an application in android for the GNUPG.
for that I want to add the commands in the android package itself. whether
I need to install the Gaurdian GNUPG and then call the commands from my
application, or can I able to call the application gnupg with the library
in my application itself, I can integrate the gnupg?.
this is for android application.
thanks,
regards,
MVS

Yes, the green box in the upper right of the new message window indicates that the \
GPGTools are integrated into Mail app.<br> In addition there are to buttons on the \
right in the subject row. The left one (open/closed lock) indicates if the mail is \
going to be encrypted and the other one if the message will be signed.<br> <br>

functions? What are they?<br> <br>
It should not be necessary to encrypt the message manually as you described. If you \
compose a message to a recipient for which you have a trusted key in your keychain \
the message should automatically become encrypted, indicated by the button described \
above.<br> <br>

By default GPGTools signs all outgoing messages. Therefor GPG asks for your password \
because it needs your private key to sign the message.<br> <br>
