i have used this code to delete sms.

public void deleteSMS() {
try {
Uri uriSms = Uri.parse("content://sms/sent");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uriSms,
new String[] { "_id", "thread_id" }, null, null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
do {
long threadId = c.getLong(1);
System.out.println("threadId:: "+threadId);
// if (threadId == 4){
getContentResolver().delete(
Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/" + threadId),
null, null);
// }
} while (c.moveToNext());
}
}catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
System.out.println("Exception:: "+e);
}
}

Hi,

if i don't bother you, can you post how the AndroidManifest.xml looks like for the above code and have you successfuly deleted the message before entering the inbox or before notification???

Hello Rahel

To access & modify the SMS Database you need to add the following statements after the </application> part:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS" />


Of course, only take the one(s) you need.

I have the same requirement too - to delete the incoming SMS based on some criteria that it satisfies but still not found a way to it. Have you had any luck so far?

@pmishra
your code to delete the SMS works only on the existing messages in the inbox but not the newly arriving message. The problem is that the new message that arrives gets stored in the inbox after the onReceive() event is triggered. During this event, it has not yet reached the inbox.

Any suggestions on what we can do here?

see gulfam, when u get callback in onReceive() there will be some location of SMS where SMS is storing, if u able to find that location then just parse the uri string and get the cursor object.
if u are able to find the location then u can easily delete that sms as i have mentioned.

To avoid accessing the db before the new message has been saved, you can use a Content Observer.

cheeers.

but we need to delete SMS, and without location how can u delete SMS. for Delete any entry we must have location. This is not valid for SMS for any item.
