copied!<p>You need to create a new <code>thread_id</code> manually, a normal <code>contentResolver.insert(...)</code> won't do for multiple recipient messages. To create the new <code>thread_id</code> you query the following uri</p> <p><code>content://mms-sms/threadID</code></p> <p>and to it append the necessary recipients so that finally it looks like this</p> <p><code>content://mms-sms/threadID?recipient=9808&recipient=8808</code></p> <p>So the full example would look like this. Say the recipients are <code>9808</code> and <code>8808</code></p> <pre><code>Uri threadIdUri = Uri.parse('content://mms-sms/threadID'); Uri.Builder builder = threadIdUri.buildUpon(); String[] recipients = {"9808","8808"}; for(String recipient : recipients){ builder.appendQueryParameter("recipient", recipient); } Uri uri = builder.build(); </code></pre> <p>Now you can query <code>uri</code> in the normal way and this will give you a <code>thread_id</code> that you can use for the recipients specified, it will create a new id if one doesn't exist or return an existing one.</p> <pre><code>Long threadId = 0; Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{"_id"}, null, null, null); if (cursor != null) { try { if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { threadId = cursor.getLong(0); } } finally { cursor.close(); } } </code></pre> <p>Now use <code>threadId</code> to insert your SMSs.</p> <p>A few things to note. </p> <p>Do not use this <code>threadId</code> to insert single recipient messages for either <code>9908</code> or <code>8808</code>, create a new thread_id for each or just do an <code>insert</code> without specifying the <code>thread_id</code>.</p> <p>Also, be very careful with the <code>builder.appendQueryParameter(...)</code> part, make sure the key is <code>recipient</code> and not <code>recipients</code>, if you use <code>recipients</code> it will still work but you will always get the same <code>thread_id</code> and all your SMSs will end up in one thread.</p>
