android - How to make a raw query on content://sms -

i want select distinct on content://sms in order need know how open content://sms database , make on raw query.

currently using normal query via contentresolver this:

  contentresolver mcontectresolver = context.getcontentresolver();   uri uri = uri.parse("content://sms/");   string[] mprojection = {         "address",         "person",         "body",         "seen"   };   cursor cursor = mcontectresolver.query(uri, mprojection, null, null, null); 

any appreciated.

answer question is:

you can't make raw query on android internal database content://sms/ unless have root privileges open database.

natively android blocks database , has special tool open limited privileges , tool called contentresolver.

may become handy know information: if want search database in /data/data/databases folder. search rooted phone or android virtual device.
