    <p>I am making an application which search messages in the inbox based on sender number. Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>public void onClick(View v) { Toast.makeText(this, "search", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"); String[] colList = {"address", "body"}; Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, colList, null, null,"DATE desc"); String yz= String.valueOf(c.getCount()); Toast.makeText(this, yz, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); if(c.moveToFirst()) { Toast.makeText(this, searchtxt.getText(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); for(int i=0;i&lt;c.getCount();i++) { String number=c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString(); boolean match = number.toUpperCase().indexOf(searchtxt.getText().toString()) != -1; if (match) { Toast.makeText(this, String.valueOf(i), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); String body= c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString(); tv.setText(tv.getText() + "\n" + body); } c.moveToNext(); } } else { Toast.makeText(this, "Inside else", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); } c.close(); } </code></pre> <p>The above code works fine but it retrieves all the messages in the inbox. I want that it should retrieve only those messages which match the sender number. For that I tried a query using LIKE clause, but with that it returns 0 records. What is the correct way of using the LIKE clause. Here is the code that I tried using LIKE</p> <pre><code>String[] colList = {"address", "body"}; String[] argList = {"'%"+searchtxt.getText().toString()+"%'"}; Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, colList, "address LIKE ?", argList,"DATE desc"); String yz= String.valueOf(c.getCount()); Toast.makeText(this, yz, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); </code></pre> <p>Please help me out....Thank you...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
