Simple tool to extract my received/sent SMS from an Android device.
Because the most known option is open-source but delivers only to E-mail something that I do not wish. Even being a open source c`ontains a lots of extras instead of forking I developed a simple solution to save these information into the storage of the device. And then I decide how to share it...
READ_SMSfor the obvious reason to gain acess into the inboxWRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE/READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGEto gain acesso to SD Card and write the export file
The exported file it will be saved on the Documents folder of the internal storage
The format of the file it's CSV to be easily imported on most visualization softwares. And it's easily readable with a Text editor.
If you are trying this code on a emulator you can extract the file with the following command:
adb pull /storage/emulated/0/Documents/sms_backup.csv
