Inserting Sent MMS into sent box

Question

I'm trying to insert a MMS into the sent database but alas I haven't been able to view it in the native android application.

my insertion code:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("thread_id", thread_id);
values.put("date", time);
values.put("read", true); //read status
values.put("sub", text); //mms subject
values.put("msg_box", 2); //message box. in this case outbox

Uri mmsUri = context.getContentResolver().
insert(Uri.parse("content://mms"), values);
Log.v("MMSProjectActivity", "Message saved at: " + mmsUri);

ContentValues mmsPartValue = new ContentValues();
mmsPartValue.put("ct", "image/jpeg"); //mime; for example image/jpeg
Uri picUri = picUris.get(0);
String [] fileNameSplit = picUri.toString().split("/");
String fileName = fileNameSplit[fileNameSplit.length-1] + ".jpg";

String messageId = mmsUri.getLastPathSegment().trim(); //id of MMS at content://mms
Uri partUri = Uri.parse("content://mms/" + messageId + "/part");

Uri mmsPartUri = context.getContentResolver().insert(partUri, mmsPartValue);
OutputStream os;
InputStream is;
try
{
    os = context.getContentResolver().openOutputStream(mmsPartUri);
is = context.getContentResolver().openInputStream(picUris.get(0));
byte[] buffer = new byte[256];
for (int len = 0; (len = is.read(buffer)) != -1; ) {
    os.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
} catch (FileNotFoundException e)
{
Log.v("MMSProjectActivity", "MMS not saved FileNotFoundException");
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e)
{
Log.v("MMSProjectActivity", "MMS not saved IOException");
    e.printStackTrace();
}

Log.v("MMSProjectActivity", "MMS part value saved at: " + mmsPartUri);

anybody have any idea what am I doing wrong?

I think what you need is in this class of the source code . Generally take a look at how they do it at google.. specifically take a look at this method

    private static Uri createDraftMmsMessage(PduPersister persister, SendReq sendReq,
        SlideshowModel slideshow) {
    try {
        PduBody pb = slideshow.toPduBody();
        sendReq.setBody(pb);
        Uri res = persister.persist(sendReq, Mms.Draft.CONTENT_URI);
        slideshow.sync(pb);
        return res;
    } catch (MmsException e) {
        return null;
    }
}

And after creating the Draft (step one) then you update the draft to sent. by calling the other method

 private static void updateDraftMmsMessage(Uri uri, PduPersister persister,
        SlideshowModel slideshow, SendReq sendReq) {
    if (Log.isLoggable(LogTag.APP, Log.VERBOSE)) {
        LogTag.debug("updateDraftMmsMessage uri=%s", uri);
    }
    if (uri == null) {
        Log.e(TAG, "updateDraftMmsMessage null uri");
        return;
    }
    persister.updateHeaders(uri, sendReq);
    final PduBody pb = slideshow.toPduBody();

    try {
        persister.updateParts(uri, pb);
    } catch (MmsException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "updateDraftMmsMessage: cannot update message " + uri);
    }

    slideshow.sync(pb);
}

Now I know you cannot run this code from your app since you're not building in the source, or even if you are it may be a challenge to do so (even though I think that if you do build in the source if you code correctly the google code should handle the save stuff)

in any case you should be able to save mms message in the provider by following what they do in this class.

cheers...

and post your progress...
