     } 
}

public ArrayList<String> fetchInbox() {
    ArrayList<String> sms = new ArrayList<String>();

    Uri uriSms = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uriSms, new String[]{"_id", "address", "date", "body"},null,null,null); 

    cursor.moveToFirst();
    while  (cursor.moveToNext()) 
    {
           String address = cursor.getString(1);
           String body = cursor.getString(3);

           System.out.println("======> Mobile number => "+address);

           sms.add(address+"\n"+body);

    }

    return sms;

You need to write OnItemClicklistener for lViewSMS.

lViewSMS .setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
        int position, long id) {
      // When clicked, show a toast with the TextView text
      Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ((TextView) view).getText(),
          Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
  });

Here is android link ListView
