SMS message for SMS messages by sender name
I want to receive a list of SMS in the phone by a specific sender. These SMS are sent from the SMS gateway, so I don't have the sender number. However, I know the sender's name, for example "Google".
This is what I have tried so far
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "person LIKE'%" + "Google" + "'", null, "date asc");
However, the cursor is empty.

You are almost there
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "address LIKE '%Google%'", null, "date asc");
Instead of asking for "person", asking for "address". SMS gateways use the name as the address.

Try to do this -
StringBuilder smsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
final String SMS_URI_ALL = "content://sms/";
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "address LIKE '%Google%'", null, "date desc");
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
int index_Address = cur.getColumnIndex("address");
int index_Person = cur.getColumnIndex("person");
int index_Body = cur.getColumnIndex("body");
int index_Date = cur.getColumnIndex("date");
int index_Type = cur.getColumnIndex("type");
do {
String strAddress = cur.getString(index_Address);
int intPerson = cur.getInt(index_Person);
String strbody = cur.getString(index_Body);
long longDate = cur.getLong(index_Date);
int int_Type = cur.getInt(index_Type);
smsBuilder.append("[ ");
smsBuilder.append(strAddress + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(intPerson + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(strbody + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(longDate + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(int_Type);
smsBuilder.append(" ]\n\n");
} while (cur.moveToNext());
if (!cur.isClosed()) {
cur.close();
cur = null;
}
} else {
smsBuilder.append("no result!");
} // end if
}
} catch (SQLiteException ex) {
Log.d("SQLiteException", ex.getMessage());
}

`Try this Used to get the last message received from the address. if you want to read all messages, iterate over that cursor.
Uri mSmsinboxQueryUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cursor1 = getContentResolver().query(mSmsinboxQueryUri,
new String[] { "body", "address" }, null, null, null);
if (cursor1.getCount() > 0) {
cursor1.moveToFirst();
String address = cursor1.getString(1);
if (address.contains("Google")) {
String body = cursor1.getString(0);
}
}
