How to access Unread SMS in Android?

I am able to read SMS in Android from this:-

        phonesms = new ArrayList<String>();    
        ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();                                                                  
    Uri uriSMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, null, null,null);
    startManagingCursor(cur);
    if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
        for (int i = 0; i < cur.getCount(); i++) {
            try {
 String smsbody = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
 phonesms.add(smsbody);

            } catch (Exception e) {

            }

Now Problem is that I want to access Unread SMS & send Unread SMS automatically Through Email in a time period.

I can send sms on email from two methods:- 1. Through Intent 2.Java Mail Api

But How to send unread sms automatically via Email within a fixed Time Period.

YOu can can use cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("status") to determine whether it is read or not. Or you can include them in the query itself to filter out only messages which are unread.

  while (cur.moveToNext()) {
               String address = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("address"));
               String body = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body"));
        int status = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("status"));
        if(status == SmsManager.STATUS_ON_ICC_UNREAD ) {
        //do whatever you want
        }

          }

To get unread sms:

Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, null, "read = 0", null, null);
