Answer 1

Using the content resolver,

  Uri mSmsinboxQueryUri = Uri.parse("content://sms");
    Cursor cursor1 = getContentResolver().query(
            mSmsinboxQueryUri,
            new String[] { "_id", "thread_id", "address", "person", "date",
                    "body", "type" }, null, null, null);
startManagingCursor(cursor1);
    String[] columns = new String[] { "address", "person", "date", "body",
            "type" };
    if (cursor1.getCount() > 0) {
        String count = Integer.toString(cursor1.getCount());
        Log.e("Count",count);
        while (cursor1.moveToNext()) {
            out.write("<message>");
            String address = cursor1.getString(cursor1
                    .getColumnIndex(columns[0]));
            String name = cursor1.getString(cursor1
                    .getColumnIndex(columns[1]));
            String date = cursor1.getString(cursor1
                    .getColumnIndex(columns[2]));
            String msg = cursor1.getString(cursor1
                    .getColumnIndex(columns[3]));
            String type = cursor1.getString(cursor1
                    .getColumnIndex(columns[4]));
}
 }

This will read both inbox and sent items.If you want to read the inbox or sent items alone then you specify it in content resolver.

   Uri mSmsinboxQueryUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
   Uri mSmsinboxQueryUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/sent");

For reading your SMS you must add uses-permission in androidmanifest.xml,

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />
