Unable to read messages programmatically from Xiaomi phones

Question

I am using EasyPermission to taking permissions from user.

@AfterPermissionGranted(PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_SMS)
private void readSMS() {
    String[] perms = {Manifest.permission.READ_SMS};
    if (EasyPermissions.hasPermissions(this, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS)) {
        initSMS();
    } else {
        // Do not have permissions, request them now
        EasyPermissions.requestPermissions(this, getString(R.string.send_sms_rationale),
                PERMISSIONS_REQUEST_READ_SMS, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS);
    }
}

In my initSMS() I had tried to read messages from Android devices. Its worked fine for all devices except Xiaomi devices. I used TelephonyProvider class to read messages.

private void initSMS() {
    TelephonyProvider provider = new TelephonyProvider(this);
    List<Sms> sms = provider.getSms(TelephonyProvider.Filter.INBOX).getList();
    for(int i = 0; i <= sms.size() - 1; i++) {
        Log.d("Address",sms.get(i).address);
        Log.d("Sms",sms.get(i).body);
        Log.d("ReceivedDate",""+sms.get(i).receivedDate));
        Log.d("State",""+sms.get(i).status);
        Log.d("person",""+sms.get(i).person);
    }
}

Is their any way to read all messages from Xiaomi devices?

I hope this will work for you. firstly you have to call function isMIUI() for checking miui mobile and then call this above function. this function will redirect to setting for taking service sms permission.

private void onDisplayPopupPermission() {

        try {
            // MIUI 8
            Intent localIntent = new Intent("miui.intent.action.APP_PERM_EDITOR");
            localIntent.setClassName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.permissions.PermissionsEditorActivity");
            localIntent.putExtra("extra_pkgname", getPackageName());
            localIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
            localIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
            startActivity(localIntent);


        } catch (Exception e) {
            try {
                // MIUI 5/6/7
                Intent localIntent = new Intent("miui.intent.action.APP_PERM_EDITOR");
                localIntent.setClassName("com.miui.securitycenter", "com.miui.permcenter.permissions.AppPermissionsEditorActivity");
                localIntent.putExtra("extra_pkgname", getPackageName());
                localIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_GRANT_READ_URI_PERMISSION);
                localIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
                startActivity(localIntent);


            } catch (Exception e1) {
                // Otherwise jump to application details
                Intent intent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APPLICATION_DETAILS_SETTINGS);
                Uri uri = Uri.fromParts("package", getPackageName(), null);
                intent.setData(uri);
                startActivity(intent);
            }
        }

    }

Thank you. this code is working for me. now i am getting permission and sms for miui phone. — Gaurav Dabhade, Feb 22 '18 at 07:07
Thank you for your answer. How can we check if permission is given or not? — Sanju, Sep 05 '18 at 10:51
