I am making to delete particular sms of phone number task. when I am testing in motog or Android version 5.0's mobile. I can't delete particular number's sms. My code snippet is below.
public void deleteSMS(Context context,String number) {
try {
Log.d("","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" }, "address = '"+number+"'", 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);
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"SMS with id: " + threadId +" Number:- " +address,Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.d("", "SMS with id: " + threadId +" Number:- " +address);
if ( address.equals(number)) {
Log.d("", "Deleting SMS with id: " + threadId);
context.getContentResolver().delete(
Uri.parse("content://sms/" + id), null, null);
}
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Could not delete SMS from inbox ",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Log.e("", "Could not delete SMS from inbox: " + e.getMessage());
}
}
After 4.4 you are not allowed to delete any sms messages from inbox unless your app is the "default sms app"
