Android send SMS which is visible in SMS thread (no GUI)

Question

What I need:
- Send SMS with no GUI interaction (choosing a client to send SMS is out)
- SMS has to be visible in a thread queried from "content://mms-sms/conversations/"+threadId

Currently I'm using SMSManager:

SmsManager sms = SmsManager.getDefault();
sms.sendTextMessage(phone, null, message, null, null);  

Is there any ways to do this across all the devices considering each of them has a different SMS app. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Just figured it out, you can use ContentResolver to insert the SMS and remember to add permissions: "uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"

   ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
   values.put("address", phone);
   values.put("body", message);
   getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);

Answer 2

You need to use the following value:

values.put("thread_id", threadId);

And it will be associated with the thread.
