How to add SMS with specific date in android

Question

Hi stackoverflow I'm trying to develop an application to add SMS to prrogrammatically, I'm using the following code to add SMS

private void addSMS()
{       
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
    ContentValues cv2 = new ContentValues();
    cv2.put("address", "+91956322222");
    cv2.put("date", "1309632433677");
    cv2.put("read", 1);
    cv2.put("type", 2);
    cv2.put("body", "Hey");
    getContentResolver().insert(uri, cv2);
    cv2.clear();
}

Permissions :

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>

Problem is the Time of the message, it's displaying the time we added the message, but not the date we have passed in the list of messages, but when I open the message we added then the time will be correct as our input, please help me to solve this riddle.

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is a known problem I think. Try to add this line in the end:

getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/-1"), null, null);

Here is the working code, Thanks to @Amulya Khare

private void addSMS()

    Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
    ContentValues cv2 = new ContentValues();
    cv2.put("address", "+91956322222");
    cv2.put("date", "1309632433677");
    cv2.put("read", 1);
    cv2.put("type", 2);
    cv2.put("body", "Hey");
    getContentResolver().insert(uri, cv2);
    /** This is very important line to solve the problem */
    getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/-1"), null, null);
    cv2.clear();
}
