I am making an application which search messages in the inbox based on sender number. Here is my code:
public void onClick(View v)
{
Toast.makeText(this, "search", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
String[] colList = {"address", "body"};
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, colList, null, null,"DATE desc");
String yz= String.valueOf(c.getCount());
Toast.makeText(this, yz, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
if(c.moveToFirst())
{
Toast.makeText(this, searchtxt.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
for(int i=0;i<c.getCount();i++)
{
String number=c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();
boolean match = number.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchtxt.getText().toString()) != -1;
if (match)
{
Toast.makeText(this, String.valueOf(i), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
String body= c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
tv.setText(tv.getText() + "\n" + body);
}
c.moveToNext();
}
}
else
{
Toast.makeText(this, "Inside else", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
c.close();
}
The above code works fine but it retrieves all the messages in the inbox. I want that it should retrieve only those messages which match the sender number. For that I tried a query using LIKE clause, but with that it returns 0 records. What is the correct way of using the LIKE clause. Here is the code that I tried using LIKE
String[] colList = {"address", "body"};
String[] argList = {"'%"+searchtxt.getText().toString()+"%'"};
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, colList, "address LIKE ?", argList,"DATE desc");
String yz= String.valueOf(c.getCount());
Toast.makeText(this, yz, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Please help me out....Thank you...
