I'm trying to write my own SMS manager and I found many tutorials how to get SMS and MMS with URI and Cursor, but each try I'm getting problems I can't solve. Hope you help me a bit. Okay, so I've been using "content://mms-sms/conversations/" which should work both for SMS and MMS. Of course not. This code:
final String[ ] projection = new String[ ]{ "*" };
Uri uri = Uri.parse( "content://mms-sms/conversations/" );
Cursor query = getContentResolver( ).query( uri, projection, null, null, null );
TextView text = ( TextView )findViewById( R.id.textView1 );
text.setText( Integer.toString( query.getCount( ) ) );
Return 13 which is false, because when I opened my standard android mailbox, I counted 18 conversations.
Second thing, also tried to get "address" from conversations:
final String[] projection = new String[]{"*"};
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/");
Cursor query = getContentResolver( ).query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
while( query.moveToNext( ) )
System.out.println( "recv " + query.getString( query.getColumnIndexOrThrow( "address" ) ) );
Sometimes the address is a number, sometimes is a name, and sometimes is null. Why? How can I fix this?
Third thing, on many tutorials, in stackoverflow too, there is very simple solution how to get addresss from MMS. Just get cursor.getString( cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow( "address" ) ) from MMS and done. Not here on HTC. I tried this:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver( ).query( Uri.parse( "content://sms/inbox" ), null, null, null, null );
if( cursor.moveToFirst( ) )
{
for( int i = 0; i < cursor.getColumnCount( ); i++ )
System.out.println( "SMS " + cursor.getColumnName( i ) );
}
for( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
System.out.println( "***************************************************************" );
Cursor cursor2 = getContentResolver( ).query( Uri.parse( "content://mms/inbox" ), null, null, null, null );
if( cursor2.moveToFirst( ) )
{
for( int i = 0; i < cursor2.getColumnCount( ); i++ )
System.out.println( "MMS " + cursor2.getColumnName( i ) );
}
And it returned me:

So it means I have NO field "address" in MMS. So how can I get the address? I can only get thread, but half of conversation is invisible. It looks like it's impossible to code own SMS/MMS manager, there are so many bugs on the HTC.
There is an app on Google Play named "GO SMS Pro" which works fine on my phone. So it means there IS a way to code it properly. What do I do wrong? How can I fix it and get properly SMSes and MMSes?
