android - Request correct permissions to save an SMS on Inbox

I want my Android program to be able to save 开发者_StackOverflow社区an SMS on the user's inbox.

I already found this question which does exactly that, but this statement:

getContentResolver().insert(Uri.parse("content://sms/sent"), values);

throws a SecurityException.

I already requested the SMS_WRITE permission in the manifest file.

Any ideas?

Took me some time too, seems like you also need the READ_SMS permission

(found it there: http://www.andreabaccega.com/blog/2010/08/12/write-an-sms-without-sending-it-on-android-2-2-froyo/)

worked for me.

Because the original SMS application uses this ContentResolver, you can retrieve it but as CW said, it may or may not be there. However; from my experience most applications that deal with SMS and interaction actually read the SMS ContentProvider (com.android.providers.telephony).

The permission name is WRITE_SMS... maybe that is the problem.
