Get number of unread sms

Question

How can I get the number of unread sms in android?

Answer 1

The simplest way I found out:

Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
    Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"),
    new String[] {
        "count(_id)",
    },
    "read = 0",
    null,
    null
);
c.moveToFirst();
int unreadMessagesCount = c.getInt(0);
