How can I search the sms inbox and show latest message from a special number. For example search for "999999999" and show last message received from this number. Is any way to do this?
I have use this code to return the count of messages my inbox
TextView view;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
view = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, null, null, null, null);
int unreadMessagesCount = c.getCount();
c.deactivate();
view.setText(String.valueOf(unreadMessagesCount));
If you only want the last message sent by a specific number use this:
final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, null, "address = ?",
new String[] {"9999999999"}, "date desc limit 1");
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
// Do something
Log.v("Example", cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("body")));
}
cursor.close();
The second answer to How many database columns associated with a SMS in android? is a great reference for different columns in an SMS.
try as:
final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX,null,null, null,"DATE desc");
if(c.moveToFirst()){
for(int i=0;i<c.getCount();i++){
String body= c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
String number=c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();
if(number=="999999999")
{
//get message body here
break;
}
else
c.moveToNext();
}
}
c.close();
