Deleting SMS...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I cannot delete SMS messages.  I do not get an ID back so I cannot call 
deleteMessage.  Does anyone have a sample of how to delete a message?  I have 
pulled the code from SVN and built it so I think I have the latest code but not 
100% sure.  

Here is my code which prints out the ID which is blank and the toString which 
also show the id is blank:
public void dumpSMS() throws IOException{
        //Voice v = IS DEFINED GLOBALLY
        String smsstr = v.getSMS();
        System.out.println(smsstr);
        Collection<SMSThread> sms = v.getSMSThreads();
        for (SMSThread s : sms){
        System.out.println("New Thread...." + s.getId());
            for (SMS sm : s.getAllSMS()){
        System.out.println(sm.getFrom().getId() + " " +       sm.getFrom().getName() + " " + sm.getFrom().getNumber() + " " + sm.getContent() + " " + sm.getDateTime().toString());
                System.out.println(sm.toString());
                System.out.println("********** NO ID RETURNED**************");
                //HOW WOULD I DELETE THIS MESSAGE?
            }
        }   
    }

Here is the results:

Hi BBB,
This could be better documented in the Wiki, and I noticed the JavaDoc is not 
displaying properly as HTML. (Oh My!!)

Google Voice is big about the Conversation or SMSThread as we have named it.  I 
do not think it is even possible to delete a specific message out of a 
conversation or SMSThread, you have to delete the whole thing.  

N.B. when we say delete, we are talking about moving it to the Trash.  To 
really delete it you have to empty the trash.

This code should give you the hint you need:

    SMSThread smsthread = ....

    String msgID = smsthread.getId();
    try {
         voice.deleteMessage(msgID);
    } catch (IOException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
    }

Thanks!  That's the problem.  I have to delete the whole thing and there is 
an ID for the  thread.  Perfect!
