I use the following intent to pick an email-contact from the contacts app.:
Intent selectContact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI);
selectContact.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(selectContact, RESULT_PICK_CONTACT);
On activity result i try to query the returned id like this:
Uri contactData = intent.getData();
String contactId = contactData.getLastPathSegment();
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID.concat(" = ?"),
new String[]{
contactId
},
null);
Unfortunally the Cursor i use to query the picked contact is always empty although the contact id returned seems to be valid.
What am i doing wrong?
Querying onto a different id solved the problem.
When picking Email contacts the CONTACT_ID constant doesnt seem to be the right identifier.
I changed Selection argument to use _ID instead:
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email._ID.concat(" = ?")

I am using Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI to search for contacts.
Uri contentUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(searchString));
The searchstring can be either a number or a name. That works great.
My only problem is that the result does not contain a contact phone number.
I know that I can get it by querying ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI. However, I would like to find a solution that will give me a contact name and phone number with a single query.
You should use Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI instead of Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI
Docs say:
The filter is applied to display names as well as phone numbers.
Try this:
Uri filterUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(searchString));
String[] projection = new String[]{ Phone.CONTACT_ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(filterUri, projection, null, null, null);
I want to display the native android contacts list and then once the user picks a contact, i would like to move to the next native screen where it shows the details of the contact (like phone numbers, email, etc).
Now once the user selects either an email address or a phone number, I would then like to get that data back to my original activity and do further processing.
I know that I could use
startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI), REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACT);
and then myself parse the contact using getContentResolver().query() and then store each of the required fields. Then finally display on a separate activity as contact details and then once the user chooses any one of the phone numbers or emails, then i use that to do further processing.
I tried to do the following inside onActivityResult():
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, contactData);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE_PICK_CONTACT_DETAIL);
This displays the details of the contact but when the user selects a particular number, android calls it instead of passing it back to me in the previous activity.
But I would like to use the native screens if possible and it would require a lot less parsing and no extra activities/fragments.
Could someone suggest how to go about doing this?
Thanks
You can get contact details from phone contact doing this way
Uri uri = data.getData();
String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor people = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
int indexName = people.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
int indexNumber = people.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
int type = people.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
people.moveToFirst();
do {
String name = people.getString(indexName);
String number = people.getString(indexNumber);
System.out.println(name+number);
} while (people.moveToNext());
This might help:
Uri contactData = data.getData();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor c = cr.query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String id = c
.getString(c
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String hasPhone = c
.getString(c
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) {
Cursor phones = getContentResolver()
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = " + id, null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
String cNumber = phones
.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), cNumber,
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
String nameContact = c
.getString(c
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
// contact number = cNumber
//contact name = nameContact
}
}
I query the phone's calllog into a ListView. So when the user long clicks an item, a dialog comes up with options, including "View contact". To be able to view the contact the intent needs the contact id.
My problem is that I not always get to see the right contact. I click on Peter, and Peter's contact sheet comes up. I click on Sarah, and Jason's contact sheet comes up.
I must have been using this code the wrong way. Please help.
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phone));
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID}, null, null, null);
if(cursor!=null) {
while(cursor.moveToNext())
{
String contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactid2 = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup._ID));
}
cursor.close();
}
Intent intent_contacts = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://contacts/people/" + contactid2));
startActivity(intent_contacts);
Maybe what I need is not the PhoneLookup._ID, but some other ID.
I also tried Felipe's answer here, same happens.
Edit:
on a HTC Desire HD (2.3.5) I get the proper contacts in 99% of the
cases.
on a ZTE Blade (2.2) I get the proper contacts in 60% of the cases.
on a Samsung Galaxy Ace (2.3.3) I get the proper contacts in 5% of the cases.
What the hell is going on???
After digging myself into theme, I found sven's help on googlegroups. The problem was that I was using a depracated intent. I read through many pages on the developer site, I must have missed it somehow.
I also post the full code.
contactid26 = null;
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phonenumintolist));
Cursor cursor =
contentResolver.query(
uri,
new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID},
null,
null,
null);
if(cursor!=null) {
while(cursor.moveToNext()){
String contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactid26 = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup._ID));
}
cursor.close();
}
if (contactid26 == null) {
Toast.makeText(DetailedCallHistory.this, "No contact found associated with this number", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
Intent intent_contacts = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(contactid26)));
//Intent intent_contacts = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("content://contacts/people/" + contactid26));
startActivity(intent_contacts);
}
Here in this case i am going to show you that how to get the ID, and
Name of any contact no, which you have enter and want to search, For
Example if you enter a no and want to search its Name and id then use
this code, it is working 100%, if you want further modification in
this, then you can tell me
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,Uri.encode(phnno.getText().toString()));//phone no
String[] proj = new String[]
{///as we need only this colum from a table...
Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
Contacts._ID,
};
String id=null;
String sortOrder1 = StructuredPostal.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
Cursor crsr = getContentResolver().query(lookupUri,proj, null, null, sortOrder1);
while(crsr.moveToNext())
{
String name=crsr.getString(crsr.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
id = crsr.getString(crsr.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID));
Toast.makeText(this,"Name of this cntct is : " +name +"\n id is : "+id ,Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
crsr.close();
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 use the code below to display contact numbers, but it is displaying names and numbers from the contact list.
public void getContacts(Context context){
context.startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI));
}
Like the above code how can I use the below code for getting only contact numbers from the contact list? I need to display only contact numbers without showing names. Please help with the right solution to solve this problem.
Uri personUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, personId);
Uri phonesUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(personUri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
String[] proj = new String[] {Phones._ID, Phones.TYPE, Phones.NUMBER, Phones.LABEL}
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(phonesUri, proj, null, null, null);
Try and look at this site:
Query contacts.
There are multiple methods for retrieving different content from contacts.
Hopefully that could help.
