How do I read all SMSes from a particular sender to me? E.g. I want to scan a) the body, and b) the date/time of all SMSes that came from 'TM-MYAMEX' to the phone.
Some websites seem to indicate this can be read from "content://sms/inbox". I couldn't figure out exactly how. Also not sure if it is supported on most phones. I am using a Galaxy S2.
try this way:
StringBuilder smsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
final String SMS_URI_ALL = "content://sms/";
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "address='123456789'", null, "date desc");
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
int index_Address = cur.getColumnIndex("address");
int index_Person = cur.getColumnIndex("person");
int index_Body = cur.getColumnIndex("body");
int index_Date = cur.getColumnIndex("date");
int index_Type = cur.getColumnIndex("type");
do {
String strAddress = cur.getString(index_Address);
int intPerson = cur.getInt(index_Person);
String strbody = cur.getString(index_Body);
long longDate = cur.getLong(index_Date);
int int_Type = cur.getInt(index_Type);
smsBuilder.append("[ ");
smsBuilder.append(strAddress + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(intPerson + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(strbody + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(longDate + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(int_Type);
smsBuilder.append(" ]\n\n");
} while (cur.moveToNext());
if (!cur.isClosed()) {
cur.close();
cur = null;
}
} else {
smsBuilder.append("no result!");
} // end if
}
} catch (SQLiteException ex) {
Log.d("SQLiteException", ex.getMessage());
}
