How to identify a local phone contact and an SYNC phone contact in android?

Can anybody guide me to find the solution for the following problem.
I have to identify whether the phone contact saved in locally or from Email ?(programatically)
i have read fromgoogle doc that ContactsContract.Groups, which contains information about raw contact groups such as Gmail contact groups. The current API does not support the notion of groups spanning multiple accounts.
Based on that i have tried the following code.
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
final String[] GROUP_PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Groups._ID,
ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE,
ContactsContract.Groups.SUMMARY_WITH_PHONES
};
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Groups.CONTENT_URI, GROUP_PROJECTION, null,
null, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE);
int IDX_ID = c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Groups._ID);
int IDX_TITLE = c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE);
output.append("title"+IDX_TITLE+"\n");
Map<String,GroupInfo> m = new HashMap<String, GroupInfo>();
while (c.moveToNext()) {
output.append("test...\n");
GroupInfo g = new GroupInfo();
g.id = c.getString(IDX_ID);
g.title = c.getString(IDX_TITLE);
output.append("title"+c.getString(IDX_TITLE)+"\n");
int users = c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Groups.SUMMARY_WITH_PHONES));
if (users>0) {
// group with duplicate name?
GroupInfo g2 = m.get(g.title);
if (g2==null) {
m.put(g.title, g);
output.append("title"+g.title+"\n");
groups.add(g);
} else {
g2.id+=","+g.id;
}
}
}
outputText.setText(output);
c.close();
but no hope.

I am posting this answer for future use. We can differentiate the local phone contacts and the sync contacts by using the field called RawContacts.SOURCE_ID
It is described here
SOURCE_ID
read/write
String that uniquely identifies this row to its source account. Typically it is set at the time the raw contact is inserted and never changed afterwards. The one notable exception is a new raw contact: it will have an account name and type (and possibly a data set), but no source id. This indicates to the sync adapter that a new contact needs to be created server-side and its ID stored in the corresponding SOURCE_ID field on the phone.
The sample code is follows, it gives the id for sync contacts and null for others.
private void testContact() {
StringBuffer output = new StringBuffer();
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor contacts = resolver.query(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " != 0", null, Contacts._ID
+ " ASC");
Cursor data = resolver.query(Data.CONTENT_URI, null, Data.MIMETYPE
+ "=? OR " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=?", new String[]{
Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
Data.CONTACT_ID + " ASC");
int idIndex = contacts.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts._ID);
int nameIndex = contacts.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
int cidIndex = data.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Data.CONTACT_ID);
int data1Index = data.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Data.DATA1);
boolean hasData = data.moveToNext();
while (contacts.moveToNext()) {
long id = contacts.getLong(idIndex);
Uri rawContactUri =
ContentUris.withAppendedId(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, id);
Uri entityUri =
Uri.withAppendedPath(rawContactUri, Entity.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c =
getContentResolver().query(
entityUri,
new String[] {
RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME,
RawContacts.SOURCE_ID, Entity.DATA_ID, Entity.MIMETYPE, Entity.DATA1},
null, null, null);
try {
while (c.moveToNext()) {
String sourceId = c.getString(0);
if (!c.isNull(1)) {
String source_id = c.getString(1);
try {
output.append(c.getString(4)+sourceId+" "+source_id+"\n");
//output.append(datas+ "Sync1 "+ c.getString(4)+" Sync2 "+ c.getString(5)+" Sync3"+ c.getString(6)+" Sync4 "+ c.getString(7)+"\n");
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
//decide here based on mimeType, see comment later
}
}
} finally {
c.close();
}
}
outputText.setText(output);
}

Have a read through this and see if ACCOUNT_TYPE might be able to help you

Get contact version return null 4.4.2

I am trying to get contact version for each contacts in my phone,
but some contacts return contact-version null in 'kitkat'.
private String getContactVersion(String id)
{
Uri uri = ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID, ContactsContract.RawContacts.VERSION };
String selection = ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID + " = '" + id + "'";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int columnVersion = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.VERSION);
String version = cursor.getString(columnVersion);
cursor.close();
return version;
}

According to the official documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html
Version number that is updated whenever this row or its related data changes. This field can be used for optimistic locking of a raw contact.
So it can be null actually. "null" means the contact has not been changed.
Additionally "version" column is not an integer. You should get it like below
int columnVersion = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.VERSION);
String version = cursor.getInt(columnVersion);

Android getting sms conversation with name or address

I'm developing an SMS program and I want to get conversations.
I wrote the code below and it works fine, but I wonder if it could be more efficient
This is for geting conversation threads
Uri SMS_INBOX = Uri.parse("content://sms/conversations/");
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(SMS_INBOX, null, null, null, "date desc");
startManagingCursor(c);
String[] count = new String[c.getCount()];
String[] snippet = new String[c.getCount()];
String[] thread_id = new String[c.getCount()];
c.moveToFirst();
for (int i = 0; i < c.getCount(); i++) {
count[i] = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("msg_count"))
.toString();
thread_id[i] = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("thread_id"))
.toString();
snippet[i] = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("snippet"))
.toString();
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), count[i] + " - " + thread_id[i]+" - "+snippet[i] , Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
c.moveToNext();
}
c.close();
for getting addresses according to conversation thread
for(int ad = 0; ad < thread_id.length ; ad++)
{
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
String where = "thread_id="+thread_id[ad];
Cursor mycursor= getContentResolver().query(uri, null, where ,null,null);
startManagingCursor(mycursor);
String[] number = new String[mycursor.getCount()];
if(mycursor.moveToFirst()){
for(int i=0;i<mycursor.getCount();i++){
number[i]=mycursor.getString(mycursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();
mycursor.moveToNext();
}
}
mycursor.close();
and finally checking the adresses (if in contact list) and adding to a list
for(int i =0 ; i < numaralar.length ;i++)
{
String a = numaralar[i].substring(0,1);
if(!a.equals("+")){ kisiismi = numaralar[i]; }
ContentResolver localContentResolver = getApplicationContext().getContentResolver();
Cursor contactLookupCursor =
localContentResolver.query(
Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(numaralar[i])),
new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID},
null,
null,
null);
try {
while(contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()){
String contactName = contactLookupCursor.getString(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
kisiismi = contactName;
}
}catch (Exception e) {
kisiismi = numaralar[i].toString();
}
finally {
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), ad + kisiismi + " " + count[ad], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
myArr.add(kisiismi);
contactLookupCursor.close();
}
}
Are there any way to make this process easier?

Since it is a simple SQLite query and the Contact provider can be accessed in a similar way, you should try to get the job done in SQL by GROUPING via number, timestamp and maybe thrad_id and then matching the results to a query to the contact provider (also via SQLite)
The documentation holds a pretty good description of all available columns.
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.PhoneLookupColumns.html

From KitKat onwards, we have a specific Uri for this: content://mms-sms/messages/byphone. But before that, this is what we can come up with:
Set<Integer> conversationIds = new HashSet<Integer>();
String numbers = "+xxxxxxxxxx,+yyyyyyyyyy";
final String[] PROJECTION = { Sms._ID, Sms.THREAD_ID };
final String SELECTION = Sms.ADDRESS + " IN (" + numbers.replaceAll("[^,]+", "?") + ")";
final String[] selectionArgs = numbers.split(",");
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Sms.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, SELECTION, selectionArgs, null);
int threadColumn = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Sms.THREAD_ID);
while (cursor.moveToNext())
conversationIds.add(cursor.getInt(threadColumn));
cursor.close();
return conversationIds;
There is no easy way to do the same with MMS messages because they don't keep their address in the database, you have to query each and every one separately. If you need to do it repeatedly, a viable solution is to cache MMS-to-phone number relations in a database of your own.
You can then use the identifiers accumulated in conversationIds to query the individual conversations. Note that if you want to merge different coversations belonging to the same contact, you can reuse the same query selection pattern above with passing in all ids as IN (?,...,?) at once.

How to get Contact ID, Email, Phone number in one SQLite query ? Contacts Android Optimization

I want to fetch All Contacts atleast with one phone Number, also I want all Phone Numbers and All emails for every Contact.
Current code :
// To get All Contacts having atleast one phone number.
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " > ?";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {"0"};
Cursor cu = applicationContext.getContentResolver().query(uri,
null, selection, selectionArgs, null);
// For getting All Phone Numbers and Emails further queries :
while(cu.moveToNext()){
String id = cu.getString(cu.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
// To get Phone Numbers of Contact
Cursor pCur = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + "=?",
new String[]{id}, null);
// To get Email ids of Contact
Cursor emailCur = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
// Iterate through these cursors to get Phone numbers and Emails
}
If there are more than 1000 contacts in my Device, it is taking too much time. How can I get All Data in single query, rather than doing two additional queries for each contact?
Or is there any other way to optimize?
Thank you in Advance.

ICS: When you query from Data.CONTENT_URI you have all the rows from the associated Contact already joined - i.e. this would work:
ContentResolver resolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor c = resolver.query(
Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
Data.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "!=0 AND (" + Data.MIMETYPE + "=? OR " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=?)",
new String[]{Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
Data.CONTACT_ID);
while (c.moveToNext()) {
long id = c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(Data.CONTACT_ID));
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
String data1 = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Data.DATA1));
System.out.println(id + ", name=" + name + ", data1=" + data1);
}
If you are targeting 2.3 you need to account for the fact that HAS_PHONE_NUMBER is not available through the joins used when querying Data.
Fun.
This could, for instance, be solved either by skipping your requirement that the contact must have a phone number and instead settle for "any contact with at least a phone number or an e-mail address":
Cursor c = resolver.query(
Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
Data.MIMETYPE + "=? OR " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
Data.CONTACT_ID);
If that is not an option you can always go for a horribly hacky sub-select:
Cursor c = resolver.query(
Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
"(" + Data.MIMETYPE + "=? OR " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=?) AND " +
Data.CONTACT_ID + " IN (SELECT " + Contacts._ID + " FROM contacts WHERE " + Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "!=0)",
new String[]{Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}, Data.CONTACT_ID);
or solve it by using two Cursors:
Cursor contacts = resolver.query(Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " != 0", null, Contacts._ID + " ASC");
Cursor data = resolver.query(Data.CONTENT_URI, null,
Data.MIMETYPE + "=? OR " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
Data.CONTACT_ID + " ASC");
int idIndex = contacts.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts._ID);
int nameIndex = contacts.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
int cidIndex = data.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Data.CONTACT_ID);
int data1Index = data.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Data.DATA1);
boolean hasData = data.moveToNext();
while (contacts.moveToNext()) {
long id = contacts.getLong(idIndex);
System.out.println("Contact(" + id + "): " + contacts.getString(nameIndex));
if (hasData) {
long cid = data.getLong(cidIndex);
while (cid <= id && hasData) {
if (cid == id) {
System.out.println("\t(" + cid + "/" + id + ").data1:" +
data.getString(data1Index));
}
hasData = data.moveToNext();
if (hasData) {
cid = data.getLong(cidIndex);
}
}
}
}

I went through the exact same problem. Since then I build my own solution which is inspired from this post yet a bit different. Now I'd like to share it as my first StackOverFlow answer :-)
Its quite similar to the double cursor approach suggested by Jens. The idea is to
1- fetch relevant contact from the Contacts table
2- fetch relevant Contacts information (mail, phone, ...)
3- combine these results
The "relevant" is up to you of course but the important point is the performance !
Besides, I'm sure other solutions using well suited SQL query might as well do the job but here I only want to use the Android ContentProvider
Here is the code :
Some constants
public static String CONTACT_ID_URI = ContactsContract.Contacts._ID;
public static String DATA_CONTACT_ID_URI = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID;
public static String MIMETYPE_URI = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE;
public static String EMAIL_URI = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA;
public static String PHONE_URI = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA;
public static String NAME_URI = (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) ? ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY : ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME;
public static String PICTURE_URI = (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.HONEYCOMB) ? ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI : ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID;
public static String MAIL_TYPE = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE;
public static String PHONE_TYPE = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE;
1 Contact
Here I require that the Contacts must have DISPLAY_NAME free of "#" and that their informations match a given string (these requirement can of course be modified). The result of the following method is the first cursor :
public Cursor getContactCursor(String stringQuery, String sortOrder) {
Logger.i(TAG, "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactCursor search has started...");
Long t0 = System.currentTimeMillis();
Uri CONTENT_URI;
if (stringQuery == null)
CONTENT_URI = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
else
CONTENT_URI = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(stringQuery));
String[] PROJECTION = new String[]{
CONTACT_ID_URI,
NAME_URI,
PICTURE_URI
};
String SELECTION = NAME_URI + " NOT LIKE ?";
String[] SELECTION_ARGS = new String[]{"%" + "#" + "%"};
Cursor cursor = sContext.getContentResolver().query(CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, SELECTION, SELECTION_ARGS, sortOrder);
Long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactCursor finished in " + (t1 - t0) / 1000 + " secs");
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactCursor found " + cursor.getCount() + " contacts");
Logger.i(TAG, "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
return cursor;
}
This query is quite performant as you'll see !
2 Contact Details
Now let's fetch Contact informations. At this point, I dont make any link between the already fetched Contact and the retrieved information : I just fetch all informations form the Data table... Yet, to avoid useless info I still require DISPLAY_NAMES free of "#" and since I'm interested in email and phone I require that the data MIMETYPE to be either MAIL_TYPE or PHONE_TYPE (see Constants). Here is the code :
public Cursor getContactDetailsCursor() {
Logger.i(TAG, "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactDetailsCursor search has started...");
Long t0 = System.currentTimeMillis();
String[] PROJECTION = new String[]{
DATA_CONTACT_ID_URI,
MIMETYPE_URI,
EMAIL_URI,
PHONE_URI
};
String SELECTION = ContactManager.NAME_URI + " NOT LIKE ?" + " AND " + "(" + MIMETYPE_URI + "=? " + " OR " + MIMETYPE_URI + "=? " + ")";
String[] SELECTION_ARGS = new String[]{"%" + "#" + "%", ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};
Cursor cursor = sContext.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
PROJECTION,
SELECTION,
SELECTION_ARGS,
null);
Long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactDetailsCursor finished in " + (t1 - t0) / 1000 + " secs");
Logger.e(TAG, "ContactDetailsCursor found " + cursor.getCount() + " contacts");
Logger.i(TAG, "+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++");
return cursor;
}
Once again you will see that this query is quite fast...
3 Combining
Now let's combine both Contact and their respective informations. The idea is to use HashMap(Key, String) where Key is the Contact id and String is whatever you like (name, email, ...).
First, I run through the Contact cursor (which is alphabetically ordered) and store names and picture uri in two different HashMap. Note also that I store all Contact id's in a List in the very same order that Contacts appear in the cursor. Lets call this list contactListId
I do the same for the Contact informations (mail and email). But now I take care of the correlation between the two cursor : if the CONTACT_ID of an email or phone does not appear in contactListId it is put aside. I check also if the email has already been encountered. Notice that this further selection can introduce asymmetries between the Name/Picture content and the Email/Phone HashMap content but don't worry.
Eventually, I run over the contactListId list and build a list of Contact object taking care of the fact that : a contact must have information (keySet condition) and that the contact must have at least a mail or an email (the case where mail == null && phone == null may appear if the contact is a Skype contact for instance).
And here is the code :
public List<Contact> getDetailedContactList(String queryString) {
/**
* First we fetch the contacts name and picture uri in alphabetical order for
* display purpose and store these data in HashMap.
*/
Cursor contactCursor = getContactCursor(queryString, NAME_URI);
List<Integer> contactIds = new ArrayList<>();
if (contactCursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
contactIds.add(contactCursor.getInt(contactCursor.getColumnIndex(CONTACT_ID_URI)));
} while (contactCursor.moveToNext());
}
HashMap<Integer, String> nameMap = new HashMap<>();
HashMap<Integer, String> pictureMap = new HashMap<>();
int idIdx = contactCursor.getColumnIndex(CONTACT_ID_URI);
int nameIdx = contactCursor.getColumnIndex(NAME_URI);
int pictureIdx = contactCursor.getColumnIndex(PICTURE_URI);
if (contactCursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
nameMap.put(contactCursor.getInt(idIdx), contactCursor.getString(nameIdx));
pictureMap.put(contactCursor.getInt(idIdx), contactCursor.getString(pictureIdx));
} while (contactCursor.moveToNext());
}
/**
* Then we get the remaining contact information. Here email and phone
*/
Cursor detailsCursor = getContactDetailsCursor();
HashMap<Integer, String> emailMap = new HashMap<>();
HashMap<Integer, String> phoneMap = new HashMap<>();
idIdx = detailsCursor.getColumnIndex(DATA_CONTACT_ID_URI);
int mimeIdx = detailsCursor.getColumnIndex(MIMETYPE_URI);
int mailIdx = detailsCursor.getColumnIndex(EMAIL_URI);
int phoneIdx = detailsCursor.getColumnIndex(PHONE_URI);
String mailString;
String phoneString;
if (detailsCursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
/**
* We forget all details which are not correlated with the contact list
*/
if (!contactIds.contains(detailsCursor.getInt(idIdx))) {
continue;
}
if(detailsCursor.getString(mimeIdx).equals(MAIL_TYPE)){
mailString = detailsCursor.getString(mailIdx);
/**
* We remove all double contact having the same email address
*/
if(!emailMap.containsValue(mailString.toLowerCase()))
emailMap.put(detailsCursor.getInt(idIdx), mailString.toLowerCase());
} else {
phoneString = detailsCursor.getString(phoneIdx);
phoneMap.put(detailsCursor.getInt(idIdx), phoneString);
}
} while (detailsCursor.moveToNext());
}
contactCursor.close();
detailsCursor.close();
/**
* Finally the contact list is build up
*/
List<Contact> contacts = new ArrayList<>();
Set<Integer> detailsKeySet = emailMap.keySet();
for (Integer key : contactIds) {
if(!detailsKeySet.contains(key) || (emailMap.get(key) == null && phoneMap.get(key) == null))
continue;
contacts.add(new Contact(String.valueOf(key), pictureMap.get(key), nameMap.get(key), emailMap.get(key), phoneMap.get(key)));
}
return contacts;
}
The Contact object definition is up to you.
Hope this will help and thanks for the previous post.
Correction/Improvement
I forgot to check the phone key set : it should rather looks like
!mailKeySet.contains(key)
replaced by
(!mailKeySet.contains(key) && !phoneKeySet.contains(key))
with the phone keySet
Set<Integer> phoneKeySet = phoneMap.keySet();
I why not add an empty contact cursor check like :
if(contactCursor.getCount() == 0){
contactCursor.close();
return new ArrayList<>();
}
right after the getContactCursor call

How to fast the contacts loading in listview on android

in my app i am listing contacts in a listview. no of contacts is 1000+. i get the contacts
by using ContentResolver query that is cr.query(...),store the values in an arraylist
and after that load the array list in setListAdapter(...). to display the all contacts my
apps takes nearly 1 minute so that i use Async task but there is no big differences by using the async task.
i need to display all contacts within 2 to 4 seconds. i check in the default contacts
application on android simulator which is load within in 2 to 4 seconds. i have spend
long time in google. but i could not get any helpful solution. please help me how to fast the loading contacts on listview. please help me.
my coding sample:
private ArrayList<ContactListEntry> loadContactListInternal(String searchString) {
ArrayList<ContactListEntry> contactList = new ArrayList<ContactListEntry>();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = null;
String[] projection = new String[] {BaseColumns._ID,ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID};
....
cur=cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
int id = Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(0));
....
if (input !=null)
photo = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(input);
....
ArrayList<ContactListEntry.PhoneEntry> phoneEntries = new ArrayList<ContactListEntry.PhoneEntry>();
String[] projection1 = new String[] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE};
Cursor pcur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,projection1, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { String.valueOf(id) }, null);
while (pcur.moveToNext()) {
...
}
pcur.close();
ContactListEntry entry = new ContactListEntry(id, name, photo, phoneEntries);
contactList.add(entry);
}
cur.close();
return contactList;
}
.....
in another class
private void selectionUpdated() {
....
setListAdapter(new SelectedArrayAdapter(this, app.selectedContacts));
...
}

Use the Concept of projections and selection arguments to retrive the contacts in my case for 500 contacts intially it was taking 12 sec.
Now it is taking 350ms(lessthan second)
void getAllContacts() {
long startnow;
long endnow;
startnow = android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
ArrayList arrContacts = new ArrayList();
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER;
Cursor cursor = ctx.getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts._ID}, selection, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
cursor.moveToFirst();
while (cursor.isAfterLast() == false) {
String contactNumber = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
String contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
int phoneContactID = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID));
int contactID = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
Log.d("con ", "name " + contactName + " " + " PhoeContactID " + phoneContactID + " ContactID " + contactID)
cursor.moveToNext();
}
cursor.close();
cursor = null;
endnow = android.os.SystemClock.uptimeMillis();
Log.d("END", "TimeForContacts " + (endnow - startnow) + " ms");
}

So your problem is that you do a lot of subqueries for each contact. I has the same issue once upon a time. My case was that I showed many contacts and allowed the user to click on any of them. After that I started processing the contact in another activity.
Back then I finally decided that I should display only the name and lazily fetch all the other data later on, just before I launch the next activity. This was amazing: decreased the speed of my program almost by a factor of 200, and the operations became completely invisible to the user.
The default android list does the same if I am not wrong - it displays only the name, and later on loads all the other contact-related data.

i use cursor adapter and i cut the databse,arrayadapter and optimize the code.

Consider having just one query and getting rid of the sub query idea (as already suggested). You can achieve speed by just querying using the Content Uri:
"ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI"
This URI also has the "ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME" field.
You might also want to consider doing this query and working with your adapter in a seperate thread to make it completely transparent.
This worked for me.

OPTIMIZED SOLUTION HERE.....
private static final String[] PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, null, null, null);
