I have wrote an android app that uses voice recognition and save voice into a string.Now i can access to different part of this string and for example when i say call dad i need to retrieve dad's number from contacts.
private void call() {
Intent in=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL,Uri.parse("0000000000"));
try{
startActivity(in);
}
catch (android.content.ActivityNotFoundException ex){
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"yourActivity is not founded",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
I know this function but instead of giving Uri.parse the actual number, i need to pass dad's number to it.For example something like Uri.parse(dad.PhoneNumber).How can i retrieve a phone number from contacts by using a name ? Thanks.
You need to obtain the number from a contact you know only the name, so:
// Define the fields that the query will return
String[] PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER
};
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
// Execute the query and receive the cursor with the results
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " LIKE ?",
new String[] { "Name of the Contact" },
null );
Change the "Name of the contact" with your contact name...
Now you can get the value from cursor
// First discover the index of the desired field (Number)
final int indexNumber = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(indexNumber);
Then you can use your intent.
PS: The example uses a LIKE operator, because of this you can find more than one result in the cursor. Adapt to you necessity.

I am very new to app development. I am trying to read contact info without having to request permission to contacts (so I am using intents).
I get a URI with the following code in my main activity:
Intent selectContactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
selectContactIntent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
if (selectContactIntent.resolveActivity(getPackageManager()) != null) {
startActivityForResult(selectContactIntent, REQUEST_CODE_SELECT_CONTACT);
}
else {
showContactRequiredMessage(view);
}
In another (sub)activity, I do the following:
contactUri = intent.getParcelableExtra(MainActivity.CONTACT_URI);
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA1,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA2,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA3,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA4,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA5,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA6,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA7,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA8,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA9,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA10,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA11,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA12,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA13,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA14,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA15
};
Cursor contactResults = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
The last line throws the exception java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column <any column after _ID>
My app doesn't require all of the data in reality I just want to see what is available, I will most likely need first name, last name, phone, and email.
My issue is the MIME type that I set on the intent when I request the contact info. The documentation states ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE should be used. However, if I use, something like ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE, I can get display name and phone number. I am not sure if this means I will need to make multiple queries to get everything (the information shown in the contact picker changes when changing the type requested).
TL;DR: Used the "wrong" content type when creating the intent to select a contact.
As mentioned in my comment to your answer, you should be able to get the information expected without using a specific CONTENT_TYPE like CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE.
The problem I see in your code is that you're trying to access Data table info from a Contacts table uri.
The ContactsContract api stored info on 3 main tables: Contacts, RawContacts and Data.
You were given a contactUri which points to an entry in the Contacts table, use the following code to read Data entries related to that contact:
long contactId = ContentUris.parseId(contactUri);
String projection = String[] { Data.MIMETYPE, Data.DISPLAY_NAME, Data.DATA1 };
String selection = Data.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, null);
while (cursor != null && cursor.moveToNext()) {
String mime = cursor.getString(0);
String name = cursor.getString(1);
String info = cursor.getString(2);
if (mime.equals(CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
Log.d(TAG, name + ": email = " + info;
}
if (mime.equals(CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
Log.d(TAG, name + ": phone = " + info;
}
// Add more mimetypes here if needed...
}
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
I'm new to android and i'm working with native contact.
So my app is let user put contact display name and their number for edit/delete.
In case the contact have more that one number.
I tried a lot but still have no luck, the app still doesn't update the number or it crashes.
What I'm going to do as my understanding is:
Find name in contact that matched name user inserted and use that to get contact_id that represent this contact datagroup.
Use contact_id in 1. and the number user input to find ._ID that represent the specific row id.
Do task with ._ID we get from 2.
This is 1. code to get contact_id:
public String getPeopleUniqueID(String name, Context context) {
String s = null;
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" like'%" + name +"%'";
String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID};
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
projection, selection, null, null);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
s = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID));
}
c.close();
return s;
}
This is 2. code to get ._ID (num is number user inserted and name is from 1. > the contact_id)
public String checkPhoneNumber(String num, String name, Context context) {
String s = null;
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + "=?" + " AND "+ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+ "=?";
String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Data._ID};
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
projection, selection, new String[]{u,name}, null);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
s=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
}
c.close();
if (s==null){
s = "null";
}
return s;
}
To do something like editing (num is _.ID we get from 2. and newnum is new number user want to change into).
public void editNumber(String num , String newnum) {
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(Data._ID + "=? AND " +
Data.MIMETYPE + "='" +
CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'",
new String[]{num})
.withValue(Data.DATA1, newnum)
.build());
try{
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);}
catch (RemoteException e){e.printStackTrace();}catch (OperationApplicationException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
And well it crashes when I call editNumber().
Can you help me fix my code and my understanding?
And another question, can I edit/insert group for the contact programatically, like I want to add this contact to family friend or co-worker group (the default group that we can set at contact edit page)?
Use ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI for searching a contact based on name - to get Id or anything else. The like operator cannot handle all cases which the CONTENT_FILTER_URI does handle - For various languages, special characters etc.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html#CONTENT_FILTER_URI
Use following uri to lookup a contact from phone number - you can get person id or anything else :
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
In the set query you can also use contactId in the condition
For groups you can use custom mimetypes if the default one does not suit you (which is still very primitive for groups across different account types)
I am trying to get the contact's phone number after I have retrieved their ID number from the built-in activity. However, whenever I query the database using the cursor in my code below -- I get zero rows returned even though there is a mobile number for the contact I have selected.
Can anyone point me in a better direction or show an example of how to get the contact's phone number AFTER getting their userID?
My code:
private Runnable getSMSRunnable() {
return new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE);
}
};
}
Returns the Log output
content://com.android.contacts/data/6802
From which i pass the ID (6802) into a method which is designed to return the phone number from the ID with the given type (in this case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE)
public static String getContactPhoneNumberByPhoneType(Context context, long contactId, int type) {
String phoneNumber = null;
String[] whereArgs = new String[] { String.valueOf(contactId), String.valueOf(type) };
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(contactId));
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ? and "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + " = ?", whereArgs, null);
int phoneNumberIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(cursor.getCount()));
if (cursor != null) {
Log.v(TAG, "Cursor Not null");
try {
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
Log.v(TAG, "Moved to first");
Log.v(TAG, "Cursor Moved to first and checking");
phoneNumber = cursor.getString(phoneNumberIndex);
}
} finally {
Log.v(TAG, "In finally");
cursor.close();
}
}
Log.v(TAG, "Returning phone number");
return phoneNumber;
}
Which returns null for a phone number -- which means it cannot find the row that I am trying to access -- which means that something is wrong with my query -- however if I check a contact that has a mobile phone number -- how could I get a 0 row query?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
I found the answer.
The reason I was not getting any rows from the cursor was because I was using the line
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
"The id of the row in the Contacts table that this data belongs to."
Since I was getting the URI from contacts table anyways -- this was not needed and the following should have been substituted. The ID was the one corresponding to the contact in the phone table not the raw contact.
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID
Exchanging the lines returned the correct results in the query. Everything seems to be working well at the moment.
This should work, (maybe try losing the type)
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.
I use the contact picker in this way:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
this.startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
My question is if somehow the contact list can be filtered? For example I want to see only those contacts in the contact list which have at least a phone number or an email address.
I would suggest to use your custom view for the contacts- it is not rather difficult and you can customize it however you want. I personally implemented that way the functionality you need.
See here:
String PHONE_CONTACTS_ORDER_CLAUSE = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " ASC";
List<PhoneContact> contacts = new ArrayList<PhoneContact>(); // I have defined the bean PhoneContact
String[] projection = { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME }; //Choose the columns you need
Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, null/* the place for your where clause*/, null/* the place for your where args*/,
PHONE_CONTACTS_ORDER_CLAUSE);
startManagingCursor(cursor);
int contactIdIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID);
int displayNameIdx = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
PhoneContact contact = new PhoneContact(); // This is a class i defined, use the data the way you like.
contact.setContactId(cursor.getString(contactIdIdx));
contact.setDisplayName(cursor.getString(displayNameIdx));
contacts.add(contact);
}
EDIT
Sorry got distracted when writing the comment: the Contact id is actually the glue between the different content providers of the Contact related data. These are a few more providers you can use to see whether there are any associated phones or emails with the contact:
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI
I query the CallLog.Calls provider in order to retrieve a list of calls from a certain contact, based on the contact's display name. In particular, I use this query:
String selection = CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME + "= ?";
String dispName = dataCollector.getDisplayName();
Cursor callCursor =
cr.query(callLogUri, callLogProjection, selection,
new String[] {dispName},CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC");
The dataCollector object is used to hold information from queries based on a given contact id.
The problem is that this code only returns one call for the given contact. I can't understand why. Any clues?
int i=0;
while(cursor.moveToNext())
{
Sring id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls._ID));
numbersTemp[i]=cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER));
valuesTemp[i]=cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME));
i++;
}
