How to delete SMS programatically in android

Question

I want to delete 1 SMS from my android device programatically. Here is the code I am currently using.

private void DeleteSMS(int SmsId){
         Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/"),new String[] {"_id", "thread_id", "address", "body" }, null, null, null);
         while (c.moveToNext()) {
            try {
                    int pid = Integer.valueOf(c.getString(0));; // Get id;
                    String smsMessage = c.getString(3);
                    if (pid == SmsId)
                    {
                        String uri = "content://sms/"+pid;
                        int rows = getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(uri), null, null);
                        Toast.makeText(context, rows+" Message Deleted", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                        break;
                    }
            } catch (Exception e) {
                    Log.v("exception","occurred");
            }
         }
    }

After executing the delete statement with getContentResolver().delete, it will return the rows affected as 0.
