Android code snippet to retrieve all sms messages received on a particular date.

SMSOnADate.java

   // First select the date shown by the datepicker.
   // Here I am assumming that a DatePicker object is displayed on the view with id dpResult which is used
   // to select a particular date.
   DatePicker datePicker = (DatePicker) findViewById(R.id.dpResult);
	
   // Now create a SimpleDateFormat object.		
   SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss");
   
   // Add 1 in month as its 0 based.
   String selectedDate = datePicker.getYear() + "-" +  (datePicker.getMonth() + 1) + "-" + datePicker.getDayOfMonth();

   // Now create a start and end time for this date in order to setup the filter.
   Date dateStart = formatter.parse(selectedDate + "T00:00:00");
   Date dateEnd = formatter.parse(selectedDate + "T23:59:59");
        
   // Now create the filter and query the messages.
   String filter = "date>=" + dateStart.getTime() + " and date<=" + dateEnd.getTime();
   final Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
   Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, null, filter, null, null);
   List<String> items = new ArrayList<String>();
       
   while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
        	
        // Convert date to a readable format.
        Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
        String date =  cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("date"));
        Long timestamp = Long.parseLong(date);    
        calendar.setTimeInMillis(timestamp);
        Date finaldate = calendar.getTime();
        String smsDate = finaldate.toString();
        String smsBody = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("body"));
            
        String phoneNumber = " (" +cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address")) + ") ";
       
        items.add("From : " + Name +  phoneNumber + "\n" +
          		"Date Sent: " +    smsDate + "\n" +
          		"Message : " + smsBody + "\n");
    	    
        }
  cursor.close();
  
  // items can be used to fill a ListView as shown below.
  ListView smsList = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.smsList);
  ListAdapter listAdapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, items);
  smsList.setAdapter(listAdapter)
