I am writing an android app to read SMS from inbox. I came to know after few days search, with content provider (content://sms/inbox) we can read SMS, but it is not part of android SDK, some mobiles won't support this.

I saw some tutorials in web, there i found how to catch incoming SMS by using a BroadcastReceiver. With this we can't read old sms in inbox.

My question is, Is it possible to read a SMS from Inbox without using Content Provider or BroadcastReceiver ?

If anybody know solution please reply me. Thanks in advance.

Querying on content://sms/ and type=1 (received) works for me on multiple devices.I havent faced the issue on any device yet – Alok Kulkarni Jan 02 '12 at 07:17
