Question

I have developed an application to process SMS from inbox and process it. After processing delete that SMS from inbox. But an error occurs while deleting SMS.

I tried this code:

Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null, null,null);
String phoneNo, msg;
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
    phoneNo = cur.getString(2);
    msg = cur.getString(11);

    // do some process

    String pid = cur.getString(1);
    String uri = "content://sms/conversations/" + pid;
    getContentResolver().delete(Uri.parse(uri), null, null);
}

Make sure you get the SMS write permission in your manifest.

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