Threads

Kotlin |Java

class Threads : Telephony.ThreadsColumns

kotlin.Any
↳	android.provider.Telephony.Threads

Helper functions for the "threads" table used by MMS and SMS. Thread IDs are determined by the participants in a conversation and can be used to match both SMS and MMS messages. To avoid issues where applications might cache a thread ID, the thread ID of a deleted thread must not be reused to point at a new thread.
