Com.samsung.android.messaging - content://im/chat - get chat images

On Samsung phones is com.samsung.android.messaging app pre installed. Android 12.

Intent-filter as such as “sms_received” and “wap_push_received” are not supported anymore.

MMS and SMS are now in “content://im/chat”.

I can fetch body, date, address - but no images.
How to access all image data in (MMS) chat message based on “content://im/chat” data?

public void checkChat(ContentResolver contentResolver) {
    Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://im/chat");
    Date date = new Date();
    Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
    calendar.set(date.getYear(), date.getMonth(), 1, 0, 0);
    String selection = "date >= ?";
    String [] selectionArgs = {String.valueOf(calendar.getTimeInMillis())};
    Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri ,null, selection, selectionArgs, "date DESC LIMIT 40 OFFSET 0");
    int count = cursor.getCount();
    if(cursor != null){
      try{
        if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
          do {
            String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
            String msgId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("msg_id"));
            String phone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address"));
            String timestamp = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("date"));
            String dateTime = DateFormat.format("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss", new Date(Long.parseLong(timestamp))).toString();
            String body = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("body"))+ "..............................").substring(0,30);
            // now working - List<Bitmap> bitmaps = getImagesFromMMS(contentResolver, msgId);
            System.out.println("###### access CHAT: [" + id + "] " + dateTime + " " + phone + " " + body);
          } while(cursor.moveToNext());
        }
      } catch (Exception ex) {
        ex.printStackTrace();
      }
    }
  }

Any idea?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching Samsung Developer Forum.

I have talked to the appropriate team regarding your issue. They let me know that RCS is not open to third-party developers. There is no URI you can hit to receive image data from the mms-chat RCS message. I am sorry for the inconvenience caused by this.

Sincerely,
