I'm creating application that can retrieve contact name from number. While Googling, I got this block of code from this post:
Getting contact name from number in Android 2.3.4
public static String getContactName(String num, ContentResolver cr) {
Uri u = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI Uri.encode(num));
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME};
Cursor c = cr.query(u, projection, null, null, null);
try {
if (!c.moveToFirst())
return number;
int index = c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
return c.getString(index);
} finally {
if (c != null)
c.close();
}
}
I'm successfully able to send Number as String num in the function,
but do not know how to store contact name into String. I'm not familiar with Cursor in Android
If I'm wrong please correct me.

I develop simple sms/mms client. With sms everything work good, but with mms I have problem related to address field in conversation.
I have next method to load conversations. There are last sms and mms.
public static List<Conversation> getConversations(Context c) {
List<Conversation> conversations = new ArrayList<>();
Conversation conversation;
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/");
Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, "normalized_date DESC");
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) {
conversation = new Conversation();
conversation.setId(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("_id")));
conversation.setThreadID(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("thread_id")));
conversation.setDate(new Date(Long.valueOf(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("date")))));
conversation.setReadType(ReadType.values()[Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("read")))]);
String type = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("type"));
if (isSMS(type)) {
conversation.setBody(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")));
conversation.setNumber(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")));
conversation.setMessageFromType(MessageFromType.values()[Integer.parseInt(type) - 1]);
} else {
Map<String, String> mmsContent = getMMSByID(c, conversation.getId());
conversation.setBody(mmsContent.get("body"));
conversation.setNumber(mmsContent.get("address"));
}
conversations.add(conversation);
cursor.moveToNext();
}
}
cursor.close();
return conversations;
}
The problem is that when I sent mms, my number was put to address field of conversation. With sms everything is okay. So after that I don't know who is my opponent in chat.
Also I load mms number in the next way
private String getNumber(Context c, String mmsdid) {
String add = "";
final String[] projection = new String[]{"address", "contact_id"};
Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://mms").buildUpon();
builder.appendPath(String.valueOf(mmsid)).appendPath("addr");
Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(
builder.build(),
projection,
null,
null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
add = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address"));
}
return add;
}
Maybe someone have the same problem? Or have any suggestions how to solve it?
The answer was pretty easy, hope it may help someone. Everything is okay except one part. In selection parameter I should add
"from=151"
or
"from="+PduHeaders.TO
So code will look like this:
private static String getNumber(Context c, String id) {
String add = "";
final String[] projection = new String[]{"address"};
Uri.Builder builder = Uri.parse("content://mms").buildUpon();
builder.appendPath(String.valueOf(id)).appendPath("addr");
Cursor cursor = c.getContentResolver().query(
builder.build(),
projection,
"type="+PduHeaders.TO,
null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
add = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address"));
}
cursor.close();
return add;
}
I am trying to get details about contact using phone number everything works perfect, but when the contact number is saved with some special characters then i unable to get the contact details below is my code:
//function called
getContactName("+11234567890");
and the same number saved in contact as (+1(123)456-789)
//function
public String getContactName(String number) {
String name;
if(number != null && !number.equals("")){
// define the columns I want the query to return
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID};
// encode the phone number and build the filter URI
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
// query time
Cursor cursor = _context.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
cursor.close();
}
}
return name;
}
Use the bellow function to get the name from phone number. I have tested it recently. It works fine. because phone lookup will replace all special character from phone number.
ex- I saved new number 0+0141(12-23) with name Gaurav. And I call the function getContactName(01411223) then it will returns the name Gauav.
Please use following function and let me know if it does not work.
public static String getContactName(Context context, String phoneNumber) {
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return null;
}
String contactName = null;
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
if(cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
cursor.close();
}
return contactName;
}
You can delete all non digit chars from the string with replaceAll("\\D+","");, have a look and let me know if it works!
public String getContactName(String number) {
number = number.replaceAll("\\D+","");
String name;
if(number != null && !number.equals("")){
// define the columns I want the query to return
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID};
// encode the phone number and build the filter URI
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
// query time
Cursor cursor = _context.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
cursor.close();
}
}
return name;
}
may be this code will helps
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
}
We would like to automatically replace phone numbers within text (TextView) with their corresponding contact names.
Is there a library or code snippet that already does this? Else my naive approach would be to:
get phone numbers in the text (via a regex, maybe the one used for autolink phone)
query for contact that has this number (for each number found)
if found, replace with the corresponding name of the contact
(suggestion for query from #Skynet)
This is currently beeing discussed in a feature request for TextSecure but could be useful for other android apps as well.
You don't need to take the list of all contacts. You can get contact name from a phone number. Use this method:
public static String getContactName(Context context, String phoneNumber) {
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, new String[]{ PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return null;
}
String contactName = null;
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
if(cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
cursor.close();
}
return contactName;
}
Good luck.
Try this method to get the contact name using a phone number:
public String getContactName(String number) {
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(number));
Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(
uri,
new String[] { ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID }, null, null, null);
String contactName = "";
if (cur.moveToNext()) {
int name = cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
contactName = cur.getString(name);
}
cur.close();
return contactName;
}
Use this when replacing numbers to contact names in your TextView. I hope it works. :)
I am trying to create a function that will take a String as an argument and it will return the Contact_ID for the contact that has a phone number like the String provided.
I have already found the following code
private String getContactName (String number)
{
String contactName = "";
ContentResolver context = getContentResolver();
/// number is the phone number
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(number));
String[] mPhoneNumberProjection = { PhoneLookup._ID, PhoneLookup.NUMBER, PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = context.query(lookupUri,mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
try
{
if (cur.moveToFirst())
{
contactName = cur.getString(2);
return contactName;
}
}
finally
{
if (cur != null)
cur.close();
}
return contactName;
}
It returns all contactsName for a given number.
How i can get the contact id from here?
Thanks!
You simply have to replace cur.getString(2) with cur.getString(0). You already have the _ID as part of your projection (which BTW could be reduced to just the _ID).
I am using the below code to know if any contact exists with a number in android native contacts
public boolean contactExists(Context context, String number) {
/// number is the phone number
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(number));
String[] mPhoneNumberProjection = { PhoneLookup._ID, PhoneLookup.NUMBER, PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(lookupUri,mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
try {
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
return true;
}
} finally {
if (cur != null)
cur.close();
}
return false;
}
my problem is that if i get a number with country code added.
so,can i compare only last 7 numbers in my query
You should probably look at the PhoneNumbersUtils class.
You can use this code:
String numberToCheck;
if (numberToCheck.endsWith(number)) {
//do smth
}
This should do the job.
