How to add SMS in inbox and sent messages in android programmatically?

Hi,

I'm trying to write an app that has to manipulate my inbox and my sent messages without sending or receiving a message.

This tutorial shows me how i can send messages, but i want my phone to think that i sent one, without actually sending one.

I've searched in the Android References and i think i need to use:

SMS Manager
SMS Message

How can i do this?

Thanks, Ruben

Android, the OS, does not have an "inbox" or "sent messages".

Some SMS applications do. However, I am aware of none that offer documented and supported APIs for you to "manipulate" them this way.

But there is a standard Messaging app in Android isn't it? So if i could manipulate that one ...

@Ruben: "But there is a standard Messaging app in Android isn't it?" -- not really. It is replaced on some devices by others. "So if i could manipulate that one" -- it does not offer documented and supported APIs for you to "manipulate" it this way.

You can get a ContentProvider with URL "content://sms/inbox" and "content://sms/sent" and do an insert there.

It works this way,but there has to be another way to do this. Also read this: http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/be-careful-with-content-providers.html
