Sorry if i did not come up with a suitable title.
I want to know that is it possible to mark SMS as read in the default SMS Application through my Application?
i.e. i am developing my own application in which i am storing sms that are not from the contact list but the problem is that when ever sms received it received on my app and also on the default sms app so i want that when ever sms received then i can mark the sms as read(of the default SMS App) so that there is no need for go to default sms app and mark SMS as read.
Can i do that from my Application?
try this code
private void markMessageASRead(Context context, String numb, String body) {
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
try{
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
if ((cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address")).equals(number)) && (cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("read")) == 0)) {
if (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("body")).startsWith(body)) {
String SmsMessageId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("read", true);
context.getContentResolver().update(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values, "_id=" + SmsMessageId, null);
return;
}
}
}
}catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("Mark Read", "Error in Read: "+e.toString());
}
}

this is my sample code for sending message i want to use not show this message in sent item.
String strPhone = "XXXXXXXXXXX";
String strMessage = "Lorem\nIpsum";
SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(strPhone, null, strMessage, null, null);
Toast.makeText(this, "Sent.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
i want to delete this sended message from sent items or now show in sent item.
in all version.
please help me to solve out.
Query your conversations after sending the message. Then fetch that particular message by comparing the message contents using any unique keyword in your sent message.I have tried this code in my phone running Marshmallow.
Uri uriSMS = Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMS, null, null, null, null);
if(cur != null && cur.moveToNext()) {
do {
String smsContent = cur.getString(2);
if(smsContent.contains("your sms keyword")) {
String pid = cur.getString(0); // Get id;
String uri = "content://sms/" + pid;
getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(uri), null, null);
}
} while (cur.moveToNext());
}
I'm trying to mark a message as read on a Samsung Galaxy S6 and it is not working. I have following tutorials online. My code is below:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, "_id=" + id, null, null);
try {
if (cursor.getCount() != 0) {
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("read", true);
context.getContentResolver().update(uri, values, "_id=?", new String[] { id });
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Mark Read", "Error in Read: " + e.toString());
} finally {
cursor.close();
}
Is there something i'm doing wrong? I pass in a id to this method and the message is always marked as unread. How is it that other SMS applications can mark as read and I cannot?
Turns out you cannot mark SMS messages as read if you are NOT the default SMS client. Lame!
I have tried variations on deleting all or some messages from the SMS, including but not limited to thread id, id, where clause, etc.
Android manifest reflects read and write permissions.
I tried with variations on the SMS content, from inbox etc.
Nothing seems to delete the record.
Here is the last iteration:
Cursor c = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/"), null, null, null,null);
try {
while (c.moveToNext()) {
int Id = c.getInt(0);
String pid = c.getString(0);
// String uri = "content://sms/conversations/" + threadId;
String strUriAll = "content://sms/" + pid;//SMS_ALL
Log.d("URI is ", strUriAll);
getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(strUriAll), null, null);
// getApplicationContext().getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(strUriAll), null, null);
}
}catch(Exception e){
Log.e(this.toString(),"Error deleting sms",e);
}finally {
c.close();
}
Android 4.4 Kitkat introduced changes in SMS handling where now only the default SMS app is allowed write access to the SMS database - all other apps silently fail when attempting to write.
I want to delete some certain SMS automatically in my Android application. Therefore I have a method which does exactly what I want it to do. However, it only works if I deploy the application directly to my phone from Eclipse. Then it deletes incoming SMS. However, it does not work if the application is downloaded from the market. But there is also no error. Does anybody know how I can solve this or does this only work on rooted devices?
public void deleteSMS(Context context, String message, String number) {
try {
mLogger.logInfo("Deleting SMS from inbox");
Uri uriSms = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(uriSms,
new String[] { "_id", "thread_id", "address",
"person", "date", "body" }, null, null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
long id = c.getLong(0);
long threadId = c.getLong(1);
String address = c.getString(2);
String body = c.getString(5);
if (message.equals(body) && address.equals(number)) {
mLogger.logInfo("Deleting SMS with id: " + threadId);
context.getContentResolver().delete(
Uri.parse("content://sms/" + id), null, null);
}
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
mLogger.logError("Could not delete SMS from inbox: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
Actually, the code in my post is 100% correct. The problem was that Android needs some time to store the SMS upon receiving it. So the solution is to just add a handler and delay the delete request for 1 or 2 seconds.
This actually solved the whole issue.
EDIT (thanks to Maksim Dmitriev):
Please consider that you can't delete SMS messages on devices with Android 4.4.
Also, the system now allows only the default app to write message data to the provider, although other apps can read at any time.
http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html
No exception will be thrown if you try; nothing will be deleted. I have just tested it on two emulators.

hey use this code to delete customize sms
1. By date
2. By number
3. By body
try {
Uri uriSms = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(
uriSms,
new String[] { "_id", "thread_id", "address", "person",
"date", "body" }, "read=0", null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
long id = c.getLong(0);
long threadId = c.getLong(1);
String address = c.getString(2);
String body = c.getString(5);
String date = c.getString(3);
Log.e("log>>>",
"0--->" + c.getString(0) + "1---->" + c.getString(1)
+ "2---->" + c.getString(2) + "3--->"
+ c.getString(3) + "4----->" + c.getString(4)
+ "5---->" + c.getString(5));
Log.e("log>>>", "date" + c.getString(0));
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("read", true);
getContentResolver().update(Uri.parse("content://sms/"),
values, "_id=" + id, null);
if (message.equals(body) && address.equals(number)) {
// mLogger.logInfo("Deleting SMS with id: " + threadId);
context.getContentResolver().delete(
Uri.parse("content://sms/" + id), "date=?",
new String[] { c.getString(4) });
Log.e("log>>>", "Delete success.........");
}
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("log>>>", e.toString());
}
You can choose which app is the default SMS app in 4.4+ and if your app is set as the default it will be able to delete SMS as well.
to make app as default app see this.
Check if your app is default sms app before deleting.
Use the URI provided by telephony class instead of hardcoding.
public void deleteSMS(Context context,int position)
{
Uri deleteUri = Uri.parse(Telephony.Sms.CONTENT_URI);
int count = 0;
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(deleteUri, new String[]{BaseColumns._ID}, null,
null, null); // only query _ID and not everything
try {
while (c.moveToNext()) {
// Delete the SMS
String pid = c.getString(Telephony.Sms._ID); // Get _id;
String uri = Telephony.Sms.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon().appendPath(pid)
count = context.getContentResolver().delete(uri,
null, null);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}finally{
if(c!=null) c.close() // don't forget to close the cursor
}
}
it delete all(inbox,outbox,draft) the SMS.
private int deleteMessage(Context context, SmsMessage msg) {
Uri deleteUri = Uri.parse("content://sms");
int count = 0;
#SuppressLint("Recycle") Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(deleteUri, null, null, null, null);
while (c.moveToNext()) {
try {
// Delete the SMS
String pid = c.getString(0); // Get id;
String uri = "content://sms/" + pid;
count = context.getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(uri),
null, null);
} catch (Exception e) {
}
}
return count;
}
use this code.............
or
getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/" + threadIdIn), null, null);
I was looking for a method to delete all SMS with one click. Thanks to this post I succeeded.
Here is my method if it interests someone :
private void deleteSMS(){
Uri myUri= Uri.parse("content://sms/");
Cursor cursor = getContext().getContentResolver().query(myUri, null,null,null,null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
int thread_id = cursor.getInt(1);
getContext().getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/" + thread_id),null,null);
}
cursor.close();
}
if you want get a message and your sms app your android device phone didn't send any notification use Binary (Data) SMS.
I currently register a content observer on the following URI "content://sms/" to listen out for incoming and outgoing messages being sent.
This seems to work ok and I have also tried deleting from the sms database but I can only delete an entire thread from the following URI "content://sms/conversations/"
Here is the code I use for that
String url = "content://sms/";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(url);
getContentResolver().registerContentObserver(uri, true, new MyContentObserver(handler));
}
class MyContentObserver extends ContentObserver {
public MyContentObserver(Handler handler) {
super(handler);
}
#Override public boolean deliverSelfNotifications() {
return false;
}
#Override public void onChange(boolean arg0) {
super.onChange(arg0);
Log.v("SMS", "Notification on SMS observer");
Message msg = new Message();
msg.obj = "xxxxxxxxxx";
handler.sendMessage(msg);
Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null,
null, null);
cur.moveToNext();
String protocol = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("protocol"));
if(protocol == null){
Log.d("SMS", "SMS SEND");
int threadId = cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndex("thread_id"));
Log.d("SMS", "SMS SEND ID = " + threadId);
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/outbox/" + threadId), null, null,
null, null);
c.moveToNext();
int p = cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndex("person"));
Log.d("SMS", "SMS SEND person= " + p);
//getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/" + threadId), null, null);
}
else{
Log.d("SMS", "SMS RECIEVE");
int threadIdIn = cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndex("thread_id"));
getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/" + threadIdIn), null, null);
}
}
}
However I want to be able to get the recipricant and the message text from the SMS Content Provider, can anyone tell me how to do this?
And also how to delete one message instead of an entire thread?
This was already discussed.
To read SMS from the Content provider check:

About your comment saying that you are deleting a whole thread instead of a single sms:
Have you tried out this code?
The address column contains the telephone number of the sms sender.
Use cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address")) to pull the telephone number as a String. Pop a cursor on content://sms and sort it in date descending order to get the most recent message. You will have to wait for the new message to enter the table otherwise you will pull information from the wrong message. In an incomingSMS broadcastReceiver use a while loop, in a thread, polling for the cursor.getCount() to change. Then after the while loop cursor.moveToFirst will be the new message.
For example:
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parseUri(content://sms), null, null, null, null);
int count = cur.getCount();
while (cur.getCount() == count)
{
Thread.sleep(1000);
cur = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parseUri(content://sms), null, null, null, null);
}
Then get the address of the sms sender:
cur = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parseUri(content://sms), null, null, null, "date DESC");
cur.MoveToFirst();
String telephoneNumber = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address");
This while loop will pause the thread until the new message arrives. You can also use a contentObserver, but this while loop is simple and does not require registration, unregistration, and a separate class.
Frankly I think its faster to pull the address and the body of the message directly from the pdu of the incoming intent. This way you dont have to wait for the message to enter the table to get the address and the body. The Android class SmsMessage has a variety of useful methods.
