I am trying to do the same thing as this answer (read android SMS from adb shell command)
When executing this command:
adb shell content query --uri content://sms --projection _id,address,body,read,date,type
fail with android.os.TransactionTooLargeException
Error while accessing provider:sms android.os.TransactionTooLargeException at android.os.BinderProxy.transactNative(Native Method) at android.os.BinderProxy.transact(Binder.java:504) at android.content.ContentProviderProxy.query(ContentProviderNative.java:419) at com.android.commands.content.Content$QueryCommand.onExecute(Content.java:535) at com.android.commands.content.Content$Command.execute(Content.java:417) at com.android.commands.content.Content.main(Content.java:605) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.nativeFinishInit(Native Method) at com.android.internal.os.RuntimeInit.main(RuntimeInit.java:249)
The Android has root and the command was executed in the root mode. Android version is 5.1.1 and I have tested on two phones.
However, when I did execute the example command
adb shell content query --uri content://settings/secure --projection name:value --where "name='new_setting'" --sort "name ASC"
in doc, it works well
I guess it a specific problem of content query for SMS
Info: Platform: Mac OSX 10.13 Android version: 5.1.1 ADB version:1.0.40
