Implement restore functionality #3

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
SMS Backup currently does not provide any way to restore backed up messages.

While I think a real sync is not really doable given the abilities of the
MMS/SMS content provider, a one-time restore should be fairly straight
forward to implement.

We already have almost all fields of the SMS in the header of the e-mail
such that we can extract it when downloading.

i was just wondering since this is aimed at v2... would it be compatible with 
backups
made from version 1?  

thanks for your time

but 
this explains it :)

I really prefer this funktion, because the organisation about gmail is to 
difficult. I hope the release is 
before summer 09.

I would very much enjoy this feature. I have a feeling many... "adventerous" 
Android
users would, too.

Hi,

Sms Backup is really very great indeed. A Restore function would really be 
nice, I'm
missing it ...

every ten
seconds! works great on eclair btw.

if you don't mind building your own packages, i've added a restore feature to 
android-sms 
http://github.com/jberkel/android-sms/tree/restore_backups 

there's also a prebuilt package in the download section.

hey jim,

thanks for testing! i've sent christoph my patch and he said he was going to 
look at it, i guess he hasn't had the 
time for it yet.

My HTC Hero is crazy, it sends a single SMS to a contact after Restore my 
SMSes. 
Updated my ROM and Restored after Reboot it sends the SMS, happend twice!

Every time the same SMS which I sent some days ago, its not the last or first.
Nothing special about the backup "mail".

I deleted the specific SMS and mail, hopping it doesn't happen anymore.

hey remy,

hmm this shouldn't happen, but it would be helpful if you could send me the 
full headers of that email (view 
original in gmail). maybe you can retrieve it from the trash?

thanks, but there're some headers missing. be sure to use "show original" in 
the gmail web interface. there 
should be a bunch of headers starting with X-smssync-

great that's very helpful - i've added a new issue on github
 http://github.com/jberkel/android-sms/issues#issue/1 if you want to check the progress.

great
after reboot it sends the sms ;)

hey remy,

i think i fixed the bug. can you try installing the new version and restore 
again (if possible with the same email, 
the one which got sent out)  please?

@chstuder: i think the backup logic needs to be changed to exclude 
MESSAGE_TYPE_OUTBOX as well, so these 
sms won't even be backed up.

Just wanted to say that I've successfully used the restore functionality to 
restore 839 SMS's onto my Hero after I upgraded it with Android 2.1. Only issue 
was that 24 of the SMS's were marked as unread after the restore, everything 
else perfect as can be.

Thanks!

@hjernemadsen42: there's a new version out (1.1.2) which lets you mark all 
restored messages as read (advanced settings).

For everyone interested in the restore feature: there's now an official apk in 
the android market place, search for "SMS Backup+". The improved version is 
released as open source on github (http://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/) 
and licensed under the same license as SMS Backup.

Thanks to everyone who helped beta testing!
