I’m writing an MMS/SMS application on a rooted Android 2.3.3 htc incredible S with sense 2.1.
Now, while trying to receive a certain contacts list of SMS/MMS’s I get a FC in the query.
here’s some code:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/"+String.valueOf(thread_id));
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
Cursor c= cr.query(uri,null,null,null,null); //crashing here

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
After following Mike’s suggestion I receive the following error in the logcat:

I have no idea what’s wrong with the SQL statement…
OK, fixed it. the trick was to enter actual column names into the projection. Seems like the bug was android’s after all.
