How to get the SMS date from messenger?

Android default messenger sort SMS in several groups using received time(picture).

I am trying to show sms inbox in custom listview like default messenger using cursor:

// Create Inbox box URI
Uri inboxURI = Uri.parse( "content://sms/inbox" );
// List required columns
String reqCols = new String"_id", "address", "body", "date";
// Get Content Resolver object, which will deal with Content
// Provider
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
// Fetch Inbox SMS Message from Built-in Content Provider
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query( inboxURI, reqCols, null, null,
null );


sms = new ArrayList<>();
String date = "";
cursor.moveToLast();
while (cursor.moveToPrevious() || cursor.isLast()) {
//to get phone number
address = cursor.getString( cursor.getColumnIndex( "address" ) );
//to get massage
body = cursor.getString( cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow( "body" ) );
//to get date of sms
date = cursor.getString( cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow( "date" ) );
Long timestamp = Long.parseLong( date );
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.setTimeInMillis( timestamp );
Date finalDate = calendar.getTime();
smsDate = finalDate.toString();


but it is not working like that.It's like "Sun Aug 12 07:13:13 .....". I want to show time same as default messenger. What is the solution?

In Sms tables, Dates are stored as INTEGER in milliseconds. so, use

long sms_time= cur.getLong(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow("date")) on Cursor.


This is the time in milli on which the SMS was recieved. Now Get The Current Time In Milli Seconds.

long now = System.currentTimeMillis();//get Current Time


now Calculate M=Difference In Minutes:

long minutes=(now - sms_time)/(1000*60);
