SMS Auto Forwarding

Goodmorning everyone! Can I have some of your time please?

Recently, Me and my father are creating an app that needs an Auto Forwarding SMS Android App.
I am in charge of coding and the problem is I dont have enough knowledge and understanding regarding about my aforementioned App.

Can someone redirect me to tutorials and other teaching materials necessary for me to create an Android App That Forwards Incoming Messages?
Also, Can someone kind enough to link me some of your programs that compile and create a java file so that after I create an SMS Forwarder source code, I can compile it to an apk and install it to my smartphone?

Thanks in advance, Hopefully someone can help me.

P.S I am a beginner in Android App Coding so any help is useful.

Thank you tom. That actually give me a huge hint on how can I do it. The only problem is I'm still a beginner when it comes to coding so at the moment, I'll take some online courses to take for me to be familiarized in android coding. Thank you again tom!
