Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Click "Export messages"
2. Check "Export SMS" box (also tried with both SMS & MMS)
3. Exporting completes with no error message

Expected behavior

With Fossify Messages the created json is only 665 byte and contains 2 messages. I tried installing QUIK SMS (from f-droid) and exporting again, and the created json is 106 kb long and contains all messages.

Actual behavior

Only 2 messages exported.

Screenshots/Screen recordings

No response

Additional information

This is a dual sim phone, not rooted.

• Do you see any error toast messages while exporting the messages? See #285 for example.
• Are those missing messages SMS or MMS?
• Does the export size change if you only export SMS?

[eleius]

• No error, I see an "export successful" message (btw I'm using a translation, not english)
• I only have SMS messages on my phone, no MMS (I've only tried exporting them as a test, just to be sure)
• The export size doesn't change

I have the same issue, moving from a fairphone 4 to a moto e15. I installed via F-droid and the version is 1.8.0. I have more than two messages but I can see that the exported .json does not contain a full record, so the issue is with the export, not the import. The messages are all sms, and ticking export just sms made no difference.

Was this issue present in the previous version 1.7.0?

Was this issue present in the previous version 1.7.0?

I just installed 1.7.0 and it exported all messages successfully!

I just had the same issue with 1.8.0. It only exports the 2 older SMS I have.

Downgrading to 1.7.0 fixes the issue.

The problem lies in the updated getConversationIds() method.

The export works with the old version:

fun Context.getConversationIds(): List<Long> {
    val uri = "${Threads.CONTENT_URI}?simple=true".toUri()
    val projection = arrayOf(Threads._ID)
    val selection = "${Threads.MESSAGE_COUNT} > 0"
    val sortOrder = "${Threads.DATE} ASC"
    val conversationIds = mutableListOf<Long>()
    queryCursor(uri, projection, selection, null, sortOrder, true) { cursor ->
        val id = cursor.getLongValue(Threads._ID)
        conversationIds.add(id)
    }
    return conversationIds
}

It does not work with the new version:

fun Context.getConversationIds(): List<Long> {
    val projection = arrayOf(Threads._ID)
    val sortOrder = "${Threads.DATE} ASC"
    val conversationIds = mutableListOf<Long>()
    queryCursor(Threads.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, sortOrder, true) { cursor ->
        val id = cursor.getLongValue(Threads._ID)
        conversationIds.add(id)
    }
    return conversationIds
}

Without this line, it does not work:
val uri = "${Threads.CONTENT_URI}?simple=true".toUri()
