My phone number in mms address field of android conversation

Question

I develop simple sms/mms client. With sms everything work good, but with mms I have problem related to address field in conversation.

I have next method to load conversations. There are last sms and mms.

public static List<Conversation> getConversations(Context c) {
    List<Conversation> conversations = new ArrayList<>();
    Conversation conversation;

    Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/");
    Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, "normalized_date DESC");

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) {
            conversation = new Conversation();
            conversation.setId(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("_id")));
            conversation.setThreadID(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("thread_id")));
            conversation.setDate(new Date(Long.valueOf(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("date")))));
            conversation.setReadType(ReadType.values()[Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("read")))]);
            String type = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("type"));
            if (isSMS(type)) {
                conversation.setBody(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")));
                conversation.setNumber(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")));
                conversation.setMessageFromType(MessageFromType.values()[Integer.parseInt(type) - 1]);
            } else {
                Map<String, String> mmsContent = getMMSByID(c, conversation.getId());
                conversation.setBody(mmsContent.get("body"));
                conversation.setNumber(mmsContent.get("address"));
            }
            conversations.add(conversation);
            cursor.moveToNext();
        }
    }
    cursor.close();
    return conversations;
}

The problem is that when I sent mms, my number was put to address field of conversation. With sms everything is okay. So after that I don't know who is my opponent in chat.

Also I load mms number in the next way

private String getNumber(Context c, String mmsdid) {
        String add = "";
        final String[] projection = new String[]{"address", "contact_id"};
        Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://mms").buildUpon();
        builder.appendPath(String.valueOf(mmsid)).appendPath("addr");
        Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(
                builder.build(),
                projection,
                null,
                null, null);
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            add = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address"));
        }
        return add;
    }

Maybe someone have the same problem? Or have any suggestions how to solve it?

The answer was pretty easy, hope it may help someone. Everything is okay except one part. In selection parameter I should add

"from=151"

or

"from="+PduHeaders.TO

So code will look like this:

private static String getNumber(Context c, String id) {
        String add = "";
        final String[] projection = new String[]{"address"};
        Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://mms").buildUpon();
        builder.appendPath(String.valueOf(id)).appendPath("addr");
        Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(
                builder.build(),
                projection,
                "type="+PduHeaders.TO,
                null, null);
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            add = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address"));
        }
        cursor.close();
        return add;
    }
