Get the contact details of a person from contact picker intent

I'm trying to access the contact name, phone number, and address of a person which I selected from contact picker intent.
Here is the code which I am using to open the contact picker Intent :
Here is the code which I am using :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
case PICK_CONTACT:
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
System.out.println("in on ActivityResult");
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = getActivity().managedQuery(contactData, null,
null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String id =
c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));StringhasPhone=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) {
Cursor phones getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKind s.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = " + id, null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
String cNumber =
phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex("data1"));String name phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
//here you can find out all the thing.
System.out.println("NAME:"+name);
}Cursor postal_cursor=getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.STREET,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CITY,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS},
ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{String.valueOf(id),
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
null);
postal_cursor.moveToFirst();
while(postal_cursor.moveToNext())
{
String Strt =
postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.STREET));
String Cty =
postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CITY));
String cntry =
postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.COUNTRY));
String address =
postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS));
}
postal_cursor.close(); }
but I am not able to get the address which is stored.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

If you don't have READ_CONTACTS permission, you'll only be able to get information from the Contacts.CONTENT_URI table, not specific info like phone or postal address.
If you'd like to get a phone, you can use the special phone-picker intent instead like:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
or to get a postal address:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
See here: https://developer.android.com/guide/components/intents-common#PickContactDat
If you want to get both pieces of information, you'd need to ask the user for a READ_CONTACTS permissions for those queries to work.

read contacts primary screen shown(open from) is supernumerary

I'm writing an app that get contacts and all detail , such as any numbers in each contact. it works fine but i have a problem. as you see in below images when I call:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
first of all I see the (open from) screen like this:
and when i select " Contacts " the second screen is shown:
Is there any way that I call the the method, the second screen with contacts and detail numbers directly shown and i needless to see the first screen and select " Contacts ".
Thanks.

After all I found this way:
instead of:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT); intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
I have write these lines:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,Uri.parse("content://contacts/people")); intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);

I also had the same problem. Finally, I got rid of intermediate picker screen using below code,
Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
i.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(i, SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER);
In onActivityResult get phone number as below
if (requestCode == SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// Get the URI and query the content provider for the phone number
Uri contactUri = data.getData();
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor cursor = getContext().getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection,
null, null, null);
// If the cursor returned is valid, get the phone number
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int numberIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(numberIndex);
// Do something with the phone number
...
}
cursor.close();
}

invoke contacts in app

well i am developping my app and i want to add a contactlist in my app... i tried to understand someting but yeah... but i understood anything...
i know that i have add the permission in the manifest
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
i also know that there s an intent which i have to create... i dont know for what..
and pls dont resend this post here... i know there s some usefull code but i cant get clever of it. can someone help me with a little simple project wheres a button and when you click on the button it opens the contact menu and u can choose a contact?
How to call Android contacts list?

You can choose one of the contacts from PhoneBook with intent :
private void openPhonebook()
{
Intent pickContactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
pickContactIntent.setType(CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(pickContactIntent, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
}
The you should handle response intent in onActivityResult() :
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
if ( requestCode == PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST )
{
if ( resultCode == RESULT_OK )
{
Uri contactUri = intent.getData();
String[] projection = { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int column = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER);
String phone = cursor.getString(column);
column = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
String name = cursor.getString(column);
//set phone and to EditText
etName.setText(name.trim());
petPhone.setText(phone);
cursor.close();
}
}
}
Also permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

Android Contacts RAW_CONTACT_ID vs CONTACT_ID

I am using a contact picker as follows:
Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT)
What I want to know is whether the last path segment of the returned URI is the CONTACT_ID or the RAW_CONTACT_ID.
In case it is the CONTACT_ID, how do I retrieve all RAW_CONTACT_IDs from this contact?

You will get CONTACT_ID as the return data.
In case if you need to get the list of all the RAW_CONTACT_ID of the contact here is what you can include in
#Override protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if ((requestCode == 1) && (resultCode == RESULT_OK)){
Uri contactData = data.getData();
// This gives the value of Contact URI
Cursor c = managedQuery(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[] {RawContacts._ID}, RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactData.getLastPathSegment(), null, null);
// This query would give you list of Raw_COntact_ID for the added contact
}
}

Do you need to use the CONTACT_ID ?
Otherwise, I recommend you use LOOKUP_KEY instead.

get contact info from android contact picker

I'm trying to call the contact picker, get the persons name, phone and e-mail into strings and send them to another activity using an intent. So far this works:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
// ...
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
Intent intent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NewActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("name", name);
startActivityForResult(intent, 0);
}
}
}
But if i add in:
String number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
it force closes
Maybe theres another way to get their number?

Phone Numbers
Phone numbers are stored in their own table and need to be queried separately. To query the phone number table use the URI stored in the SDK variable ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI. Use a WHERE conditional to get the phone numbers for the specified contact.
if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(
cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
// Do something with phones
}
pCur.close();
}
Perform a second query against the Android contacts SQLite database. The phone numbers are queried against the URI stored in ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI. The contact ID is stored in the phone table as ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID and the WHERE clause is used to limit the data returned.
Email Addresses
Querying email addresses is similar to phone numbers. A query must be performed to get email addresses from the database. Query the URI stored in ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI to query the email address table.
Cursor emailCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (emailCur.moveToNext()) {
// This would allow you get several email addresses
// if the email addresses were stored in an array
String email = emailCur.getString(
emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
String emailType = emailCur.getString(
emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
}
emailCur.close();
As with the phone query the field names for the email table are also stored under ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds. The email query is performed on the URI in ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI and the WHERE clause has to match the ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID field. Since multiple email addresses can be stored loop through the records returned in the Cursor.

This method requires Android API version 5 or higher.

Building on the accepted answer, if you want to jump straight to the desired email address and not require the contacts permission use something like this:
private static final int REQUEST_CODE_EMAIL = 1;
void startSelectingEmail() {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_EMAIL);
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == REQUEST_CODE_EMAIL) {
Uri emailUri = data.getData();
Cursor emailCursor = getContext().getContentResolver().query(emailUri, null, null, null, null);
if (emailCursor != null) {
if (emailCursor.moveToFirst()) {
String email = emailCursor.getString(
emailCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
String emailType = emailCursor.getString(
emailCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
Log.d(TAG, "Email: " + emailType + " " + email);
}
emailCursor.close();
}
}
}
This doesn't require the contacts permission to read the email address like the double query methods above. It also makes it so that you do not need to write UI for the user to select the appropriate email address for contacts with multiple emails, the user selects a specific email in the Contacts app so you only get one result.
The cursor comes back with quite a few columns in addition to just email address like display name, though that has only been verified on a Nexus 5 running Android M.
