How do implicit joined columns work with Android contacts data? - android

I'm querying the ContactsContract.Data table to find phone records.
I get an error when I create a new CursorLoader:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column deleted
My code:
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Data;
...
String[] projection = {
Phone.DELETED,
Phone.LOOKUP_KEY,
Phone.NUMBER,
Phone.TYPE,
Phone.LABEL,
Data.MIMETYPE,
Data.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY
};
// "mimetype = ? AND deleted = ?"
String selection = Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? AND " Phone.DELETED + " = ?";
String[] args = {Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, "0"};
return new CursorLoader(
this,
Data.CONTENT_URI,
projection,
selection,
args,
null);
Any idea why the Phone.DELETED column isn't included in the cursor? The documentation does say -
Some columns from the associated raw contact are also available
through an implicit join.

Looks like you've found a feature that has been documented in many places, but hadn't been implemented yet. I opened a bug for tracking this issue - lets see what AOSP guys have to say on the subject (bug report).
Meanwhile, you can use the following workaround:
Uri uri = ContactsContract.RawContactsEntity.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = {
Phone._ID,
Phone.DELETED,
//Phone.LOOKUP_KEY,
Phone.NUMBER,
Phone.TYPE,
Phone.LABEL,
Data.MIMETYPE,
Data.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY
};
String selection = Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? AND " + Data.DELETED + " = ?";
String[] args = {
Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, "0"
};
return new CursorLoader(
this,
uri,
projection,
selection,
args,
null);
Changes:
Use RawContactsEntity's URI
LOOKUP_KEY is not accessible via above URI - you'll have to execute additional query if you absolutely need this column
_ID column will be required if you are going to use the resulting Cursor in CursorAdapter.
Edit: following #MichaelAlanHuff's request I'm posting the parts of code which this answer is based upon
From com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2#queryLocal() (source code of ContactsProvider2):
protected Cursor queryLocal(final Uri uri, final String[] projection, String selection,
String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder, final long directoryId,
final CancellationSignal cancellationSignal) {
final SQLiteDatabase db = mDbHelper.get().getReadableDatabase();
SQLiteQueryBuilder qb = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
String groupBy = null;
String having = null;
String limit = getLimit(uri);
boolean snippetDeferred = false;
// The expression used in bundleLetterCountExtras() to get count.
String addressBookIndexerCountExpression = null;
final int match = sUriMatcher.match(uri);
switch (match) {
...
case DATA:
case PROFILE_DATA:
{
final String usageType = uri.getQueryParameter(DataUsageFeedback.USAGE_TYPE);
final int typeInt = getDataUsageFeedbackType(usageType, USAGE_TYPE_ALL);
setTablesAndProjectionMapForData(qb, uri, projection, false, typeInt);
if (uri.getBooleanQueryParameter(Data.VISIBLE_CONTACTS_ONLY, false)) {
qb.appendWhere(" AND " + Data.CONTACT_ID + " in " + Tables.DEFAULT_DIRECTORY);
}
break;
}
...
}
qb.setStrict(true);
// Auto-rewrite SORT_KEY_{PRIMARY, ALTERNATIVE} sort orders.
String localizedSortOrder = getLocalizedSortOrder(sortOrder);
Cursor cursor = query(db, qb, projection, selection, selectionArgs, localizedSortOrder, groupBy,
having, limit, cancellationSignal);
if (readBooleanQueryParameter(uri, Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX, false)) {
bundleFastScrollingIndexExtras(cursor, uri, db, qb, selection,
selectionArgs, sortOrder, addressBookIndexerCountExpression,
cancellationSignal);
}
if (snippetDeferred) {
cursor = addDeferredSnippetingExtra(cursor);
}
return cursor;
}
As you can see, there are two additional methods where SQLiteQueryBuilder used to build the query could be changed: setTablesAndProjectionMapForData() and additional query() method.
Source of com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2#setTablesAndProjectionMapForData():
private void setTablesAndProjectionMapForData(SQLiteQueryBuilder qb, Uri uri,
String[] projection, boolean distinct, boolean addSipLookupColumns, Integer usageType) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append(Views.DATA);
sb.append(" data");
appendContactPresenceJoin(sb, projection, RawContacts.CONTACT_ID);
appendContactStatusUpdateJoin(sb, projection, ContactsColumns.LAST_STATUS_UPDATE_ID);
appendDataPresenceJoin(sb, projection, DataColumns.CONCRETE_ID);
appendDataStatusUpdateJoin(sb, projection, DataColumns.CONCRETE_ID);
appendDataUsageStatJoin(
sb, usageType == null ? USAGE_TYPE_ALL : usageType, DataColumns.CONCRETE_ID);
qb.setTables(sb.toString());
boolean useDistinct = distinct || !ContactsDatabaseHelper.isInProjection(
projection, DISTINCT_DATA_PROHIBITING_COLUMNS);
qb.setDistinct(useDistinct);
final ProjectionMap projectionMap;
if (addSipLookupColumns) {
projectionMap =
useDistinct ? sDistinctDataSipLookupProjectionMap : sDataSipLookupProjectionMap;
} else {
projectionMap = useDistinct ? sDistinctDataProjectionMap : sDataProjectionMap;
}
qb.setProjectionMap(projectionMap);
appendAccountIdFromParameter(qb, uri);
}
Here you see the construction of table argument of the final query using StringBuilder which is being passed to several append*() methods. I'm not going to post their source code, but they really join the tables that appear in methods' names. If rawContacts table would be joined in, I'd expect to see a call to something like appendRawContactJoin() here...
For completeness: the other query() method that I mentioned does not modify table argument:
private Cursor query(final SQLiteDatabase db, SQLiteQueryBuilder qb, String[] projection,
String selection, String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder, String groupBy,
String having, String limit, CancellationSignal cancellationSignal) {
if (projection != null && projection.length == 1
&& BaseColumns._COUNT.equals(projection[0])) {
qb.setProjectionMap(sCountProjectionMap);
}
final Cursor c = qb.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, groupBy, having,
sortOrder, limit, cancellationSignal);
if (c != null) {
c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), ContactsContract.AUTHORITY_URI);
}
return c;
}
The inspection of the above chain of methods led me to the conclusion that there is an officially documented feature which is not implemented.

SQLite retrieve foreign key values with content provider

I have a sqlite database with "label" and "idea" tables in my Android app. made a foreign key on idea table as idea_label with int values that connected to label_table on its _id.
I use Loader to load my Cursor on the mainActivity that loads my idea table from the provider. As obvious it load idea_label int (But what I seek is to load the value from label_table which sets in label_body).
My loader on mainActivity class
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int i, Bundle bundle) {
String[] projection = {
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry._ID,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_NAME,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_DESCRIPTION,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_DATE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_LABEL,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ICON,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_ACTIVE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_FAVORITE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_DONE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_ARCHIVED,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ORDER,
};
return new CursorLoader(this,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.CONTENT_URI_IDEA,
projection,
null, // selection
null, // selectionArgs
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ORDER // order
);
}
That calls this section on my provider class
#Nullable
#Override
public Cursor query(#NonNull Uri uri, #Nullable String[] projection, #Nullable String selection, #Nullable String[] selectionArgs, #Nullable String sortOrder) {
SQLiteDatabase database = mDatabaseHelper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor;
int match = sUriMatcher.match(uri);
switch (match){
case IDEAS:
cursor = database.query(DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.IDEA_TABLE_NAME, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder);
Is there a way? trigger another loader? or my implementation is wrong in this case? any way or help that direct me to the right direction, will be very appreciated.
With SQLiteQueryBuilder you can join tables in setTables method and then just specify label_body column of label table in projection.
String[] projection = {
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry._ID,
....
DatabaseContract.LabelEntry.COLUMN_LABEL_BODY,
};
...
SQLiteQueryBuilder builder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
builder.setTables("IDEA JOIN LABEL ON IDEA.IDEA_LABEL = LABEL._ID");
builder.query(database, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder);
Thanks to #gar_r to help and guide me , I did like this with DatabaseContract constants:
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int i, Bundle bundle) {
String[] projection = {
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.IDEA_TABLE_NAME + "." + DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry._ID,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_NAME,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_DESCRIPTION,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_DATE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_LABEL,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ICON,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_ACTIVE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_FAVORITE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_DONE,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_IS_ARCHIVED,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ORDER,
DatabaseContract.LabelEntry.COLUMN_LABEL_BODY,
};
return new CursorLoader(this,
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.CONTENT_URI_IDEA,
projection,
null, // selection
null, // selectionArgs
DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_ORDER // order
);
}
That calls this section on my provider class
#Nullable
#Override
public Cursor query(#NonNull Uri uri, #Nullable String[] projection, #Nullable String selection, #Nullable String[] selectionArgs, #Nullable String sortOrder) {
SQLiteDatabase database = mDatabaseHelper.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor;
int match = sUriMatcher.match(uri);
switch (match){
case IDEAS:
SQLiteQueryBuilder builder = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
builder.setTables(DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.IDEA_TABLE_NAME + " JOIN " + DatabaseContract.LabelEntry.LABEL_TABLE_NAME
+ " ON " + DatabaseContract.IdeaEntry.COLUMN_IDEA_LABEL + " = " + DatabaseContract.LabelEntry.LABEL_TABLE_NAME + "." + DatabaseContract.LabelEntry._ID);
cursor = builder.query(database, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, sortOrder);
break;

Android contact search

I want to implement a contact search with simplecursoradapter. And it should behave like standard android contact search. The problem is I can't write filter right. Now I have something like this:
private FilterQueryProvider filterQueryProvider = new FilterQueryProvider() {
#Override
public Cursor runQuery(CharSequence Constraint) {
ContentResolver contentResolver = getActivity().getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,Uri.encode(Constraint.toString()));
String[] projection = { BaseColumns._ID, Phone.PHOTO_URI, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE };
return contentResolver.query(
uri,
projection,
null,
null,
"upper(" + Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + ") ASC");
}
};
And it works, but there is a thing. When I put in filter a letter, 'm' for example, this filter gives me contacts which phones starts with '5'. So it "cast" letters to numbers. And I don't want this. What should I do?
Here is my code snippet for searching contacts by name. Maybe you'll find something is missing:
public String getPhoneNumber(String name, Context context) {
String ret = null;
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" like'%" + name +"%'";
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
projection, selection, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
ret = c.getString(0);
}
c.close();
if(ret==null)
ret = "Unsaved";
return ret;
}

How to Check if a contact on android phone book has whatsapp enabled?

For a given number from my address book, I need to look-up if the number has whatsapp enabled.
(The idea is to choose SMS/WhatsApp for initiating a text intent)
Lets say, I have two numbers under a contact, And I need to know which one has whatsapp enabled.
The "People" app on the Nexus 4 shows both contact numbers,
And also a little below has a CONNECTIONS section, which shows only the WhatsApp possible contact.
Is there a way to look up(like how People app does) ?
If you want to know if this contact has WhatsApp:
String[] projection = new String[] { RawContacts._ID };
String selection = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND account_type IN (?)";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { "THE_CONTACT_DEVICE_ID", "com.whatsapp" };
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
boolean hasWhatsApp = cursor.moveToNext();
if (hasWhatsApp){
String rowContactId = cursor.getString(0);
}
And to find to which number of this contact has WhatsApp
projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Data.DATA3 };
selection = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? AND " + ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + " = ? ";
selectionArgs = new String[] { "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.com.whatsapp.profile", rawContactId };
cursor = CallAppApplication.get().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, "1 LIMIT 1");
String phoneNumber = null;
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
phoneNumber = cursor.getString(0);
}
Using #idog's method, I improved code to work easier. contactID is a string variable to be passed. If contact hasn't WhatsApp returns null, otherwise returns with contactID which has been passed as variable.
public String hasWhatsapp(String contactID) {
String rowContactId = null;
boolean hasWhatsApp;
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID};
String selection = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND account_type IN (?)";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{contactID, "com.whatsapp"};
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
if (cursor != null) {
hasWhatsApp = cursor.moveToNext();
if (hasWhatsApp) {
rowContactId = cursor.getString(0);
}
cursor.close();
}
return rowContactId;
}
public int hasWhatsApp(String contactID) {
int whatsAppExists = 0;
boolean hasWhatsApp;
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID};
String selection = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND account_type IN (?)";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{contactID, "com.whatsapp"};
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
if (cursor != null) {
hasWhatsApp = cursor.moveToNext();
if (hasWhatsApp) {
whatsAppExists = 1;
}
cursor.close();
}
return whatsAppExists;
}

Android Content provider Cursor returns 0

I have looked at this for a couple of days now and I completely can't work out why my content provider return 0 using the arguments I am passing it.
Here's my contentResolver code:
String[] expenditureProjection = {
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_EXPEND_CAT_ID,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_EXPEND_DATE,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_EXPEND_AMOUNT,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_EXPEND_DESC,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_STERLING_EXCHANGE,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_COMPANY_ID,
BusinessOpsDatabase.CURRENCY_ID,
BusinessOpsDatabase.COL_MOD_DATE
};
// Defines a string to contain the selection clause
String selectionClause = null;
// An array to contain selection arguments
String[] selectionArgs = {expend_id.trim()};
selectionClause = BusinessOpsExpenditureProvider.EXPENDITURE_ID + "=?";
Log.d(TAG, expend_id+" Selected from list.");
Cursor expendCursor = getContentResolver().query(
BusinessOpsExpenditureProvider.CONTENT_URI, expenditureProjection, selectionClause, selectionArgs, null);
if (null == expendCursor) {
Log.d(TAG, "Expenditure cursor: Is null");
} else if (expendCursor.getCount() < 1) {
Log.d(TAG,"Expenditure cursor: Search was unsuccessful: "+expendCursor.getCount());
} else {
Log.d(TAG,"Expenditure cursor: Contains results");
int i=0;
expendCursor.moveToFirst();
// loop through cursor and populate country array
while (expendCursor.isAfterLast() == false)
{
expend_date_edit.setText(expendCursor.getString(1));
expend_amount_edit.setText(expendCursor.getString(3));
expend_desc_edit.setText(expendCursor.getString(4));
i++;
expendCursor.moveToNext();
}
}
Here's my content provider query method:
#Override
public Cursor query(Uri uri, String[] projection, String selection,
String[] selectionArgs, String sortOrder) {
SQLiteDatabase db = mDB.getWritableDatabase();
// A convenience class to help build the query
SQLiteQueryBuilder qb = new SQLiteQueryBuilder();
qb.setTables(BusinessOpsDatabase.TABLE_EXPENDITURE);
switch (sURIMatcher.match(uri)) {
case EXPENDITURE:
if(selection != null && selectionArgs != null){
//values.get("company_contact");
String segment = uri.getLastPathSegment();
Log.d(TAG, "Last path segment: "+ segment);
String whereClause = BusinessOpsDatabase.EXPENDITURE_ID + "="+ selectionArgs[0];
Log.d(TAG, "Where clause: "+whereClause);
}
break;
case EXPENDITURE_ID:
// If this is a request for an individual status, limit the result set to that ID
qb.appendWhere(BusinessOpsDatabase.EXPENDITURE_ID + "=" + uri.getLastPathSegment());
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Unsupported URI: " + uri);
}
// Query the underlying database
Cursor c = qb.query(db, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null, null, null);
// Notify the context's ContentResolver if the cursor result set changes
c.setNotificationUri(getContext().getContentResolver(), uri);
// Return the cursor to the result set
return c;
}
I'm printing the whereclause to the log and I see '_id=3' which should be fine because I have pulled off a copy of my SQLite database and I can see that the expenditure table has an _id 3 row in it. Any Ideas?
What an epic problem this has been. I found the error in my ContentResolver code.
selectionClause = BusinessOpsExpenditureProvider.EXPENDITURE_ID + "=?";
I was using the EXPENDITURE_ID variable from the provider rather than the database class. The line now reads.
selectionClause = BusinessOpsDatabase.EXPENDITURE_ID + "=?";
And works!

How to get contact name from number using like in selection in android

Here is the code which iam using
private String getContactNameFromNumber(String number) {
// define the columns I want the query to return
String[] projection = new String[] {
Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME,
Contacts.Phones.NUMBER };
// encode the phone number and build the filter URI
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
// query time
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null,
null, null);
// if the query returns 1 or more results
// return the first result
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME));
return name;
}
// return the original number if no match was found
return number;
}
but this code returns only number exactly equal to contact number.
i want to use like statement so that even last 7 numbers matches i should be able to get the name..
how to write that..?
