Set sms as read in Android

Question

In my application I need to read sms coming from only a number, and when i receive it I need to set it as read automatically, without setting it in the sms android application, but from my app. How can I do? Thanks!

Answer 1

Let me update this:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("read",true);
getContentResolver().update(Uri.parse("content://sms/"),values, "_id="+SmsMessageId, null);

SmsMessageId is _id of message, which you find in SMS database.

Answer 2

A short example:

Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
  // Retrieve sms
  // see column "address" for comparing

  // Then update the sms and set the column "read" to 1
}
