Android 1.5: Reading SMS messages

Question

I'm creating a backup utility for Android and I need to read content of inbox, outbox and dratfs. How can I accomplish that on SDK v1.5?

Answer 1

There is a content provider for accessing SMS messages, but it's not documented in the public SDK. If you use ContentResolver.query() with a Uri of content://sms you should be able to access these messages.
