HI I was wondering if there was way that I could place a message in my inbox when application is started. What I wanna do is that when I run my application I want that a message from number let say that is 034556343, body of the message would be "Application has started" should be in my Inbox of the phone. any Ideas?

Answer 1

If you want to manually put some SMS to your inbox with a sender name then,

ContentValues my_values = new ContentValues();
values.put("address", "034556343");//sender name
values.put("body", "Application has started");
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), my_values);

You will also need the following permissions:

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

Keep in mind that the SMS content provider isn't actually part of the SDK, and this code is not guaranteed to work on all past, present and future devices.
