Answer 1

Try following EDITED:

String[] argList = {"'%%%%"+searchtxt.getText().toString()+"%%%%'"};//TRY  THIS
                      ^^^^                                  ^^^^  // TRY THIS

Uri smsUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(smsUri, colList, "address LIKE ?", argList, "DATE");
