Write to SMS inbox

Question

Hi iam creating a fake sms application, i want to write a sms message to inbox..

I got all the permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_SMS" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

Method

 public void SendSmsMessage(View v){

        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put("address", "111111");
        values.put("body", "hello amma");
        values.put("read", "0"); 
        values.put("date", "");

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
            Uri  uri = Telephony.Sms.Inbox.CONTENT_URI;
            context.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);
        } else {
            context.getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), values);
        }

    }

When i execute the method it is not saving the message to sms inbox. by the way i am not getting any error message also. can someone help me to fix this tnx..

Since KitKat (4.4, API level 19), your app cannot write to the SMS Provider unless it is the current default messaging app. Attempts to do so by non-default apps will just fail, but won't throw an Exception (usually). — Mike M., Nov 28 '17 at 07:55
Are you testing on a device/emulator running KitKat or above? — Mike M., Nov 28 '17 at 08:08
Hy is there any other alternatives... to achieve this task.. — Sathya Baman, Nov 28 '17 at 08:11
Nope, not on Marshmallow. There's a security hole in 4.4 _only_ whereby a non-default can get write access, but they fixed it after that. — Mike M., Nov 28 '17 at 08:13
