Android fetch all contact list (name, email, phone) takes more then a minute for about 700 contacts

Is there any way to shorten this time?
I'm running with the cursor and takes the name, phone numbers and emails
if I remove the phone numbers query from the query loop it ends in 3 seconds
any idea how can I improve that query?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my query?
(Obviously I'm doing it async but still... it's a very long time that a user can't wait)
Hope someone can share his thoughts about this
this is my code
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
AddressBookEntity adr = new AddressBookEntity();
String id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
adr.fullName = name;
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));
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(email)) {
adr.email = email;
}
}
emailCur.close();
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);
int phoneIndex = 0;
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
String number = pCur.getString(pCur
.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
String country = Utils.GetCountryFromNumber(
number, app);
number = Utils.GetFullPhoneNumber(number, app);
if (phoneIndex == 0) {
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(number)) {
adr.contactAdressBookId = id;
adr.phoneNumber = number;
adr.userInsertedId = app.userCred.userId;
adr.country = country;
myContacts.add(adr);
}
} else {
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(number)) {
AddressBookEntity adrMore = new AddressBookEntity();
adrMore.fullName = adrMore.fullName;
adrMore.country = adrMore.country;
adrMore.email = adrMore.email;
adrMore.phoneNumber = number;
adrMore.contactAdressBookId = id;
adrMore.country = country;
myContacts.add(adrMore);
}
}
}
pCur.close();
}
}
cur.close();

with the following code for 59 contacts i got the following results on the emulator:
D ╔══════ query execution stats ═══════
D ║ got 59 contacts
D ║ query took 0.012 s (12 ms)
D ╚════════════════════════════════════
ok, that was the best time, but the average is 25-35 ms (for 59 contacts), add the following code in some onClick callback and run in several times in order to get the average time, in your case you should get 30 * 700 / 59 = ~300-400 ms, not 3 seconds, let alone one minute ;)

You retrieve all columns in your query:
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
This makes the data processing much slower. If you define an array of columns which you really need to retrieve, it will be much faster.

Get phone number by contact name

I’m trying to get phone number from contacts by providing the phone number. what I've done so far:
public static String getPhone(Context context, String displayName) {
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
Uri uri = CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String selection = CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" LIKE '%" + displayName + "&'";
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, new String[]{CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID,CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER}, selection, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return null;
}
String contactName = null;
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
if (cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
cursor.close();
}
//Log.d("Contact",contactName.toString());
return contactName;
}

Try this code out. You will need to set the permission in the manifest "android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" on true.
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;
}
UPDATE:
This code snippet will allow you to read all messages from a particular contact:
StringBuilder smsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
final String SMS_URI_ALL = "content://sms/";
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "address='123456789'", null, "date desc");
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
int index_Address = cur.getColumnIndex("address");
int index_Person = cur.getColumnIndex("person");
int index_Body = cur.getColumnIndex("body");
int index_Date = cur.getColumnIndex("date");
int index_Type = cur.getColumnIndex("type");
do {
String strAddress = cur.getString(index_Address);
int intPerson = cur.getInt(index_Person);
String strbody = cur.getString(index_Body);
long longDate = cur.getLong(index_Date);
int int_Type = cur.getInt(index_Type);
smsBuilder.append("[ ");
smsBuilder.append(strAddress + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(intPerson + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(strbody + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(longDate + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(int_Type);
smsBuilder.append(" ]\n\n");
} while (cur.moveToNext());
if (!cur.isClosed()) {
cur.close();
cur = null;
}
} else {
smsBuilder.append("no result!");
} // end if
}
} catch (SQLiteException ex) {
Log.d("SQLiteException", ex.getMessage());
}

How to query all the details of the Contact at once

EDIT:A list of what I consider important contact details:
1.NAME
2.PHONE NUMBER
3.EMAIL ADDRESS
4.WEBSITE
5.PHYSICAL ADDRESS
I would prefer to do this using a pre-fetched contactId...using only one cursor to get all of the data specified.I,preferably would like to find the right query to do this:
I would like to get all of the important details of a Contact at once,I am using the following code to do this:
public void getAllDataByContactId(int contactId)
{
Log.d(TAG, "Seriously scared it might not work");
String phoneNo="Phone disconnected";
String email="Email could not be delivered";
String website="Website 404";
String address="Number 13,Dark Street,Area 51,Bermuda Trianlge";
String name="Clint Eastwood";
int hasPhoneNumber;
String selection=ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+"=?";
String[] selectionArgs={String.valueOf(contactId)};
Cursor c=context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null,selection, selectionArgs,ContactsContract.Data.TIMES_CONTACTED);
if(c!=null && c.getCount()>0)
{
while(c.moveToNext())
{
phoneNo=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Log.d(TAG, "Phone number: "+phoneNo);
email=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.ADDRESS));
Log.d(TAG, "Email: "+email);
website=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Website.URL));
Log.d(TAG, "Website :"+website);
address=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS));
name=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.d(TAG, "Name :"+name);
}
}
}
However,although this does not throw an error it shows many rows consisting of an empty string interspresed with the actual values.How do I write a query that cuts out the noise?
I have tried this and this gets me all the values:
String selection=ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+"=? AND "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=?";
String[] selectionArgs={String.valueOf(contactId),ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Website.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};

Too late to answer, but maybe it can help someone in the future.
My solution for this question with only one while cycle and query:
private void fetchContacts(ContentResolver contentResolver) {
if (contentResolver == null) return;
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null || cursor.getCount() <= 0) {
return;
}
String prevId = "";
String contactId = "";
PersonContact personContact = null;
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String company = "";
String columnName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("mimetype"));
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Organization.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
company = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data1"));
}
String email = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
email = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
}
String phone = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
phone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data1"));
}
String first = "";
String last = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
first = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data2"));
last = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data3"));
}
if (!prevId.equals(contactId)) {
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(prevId)) {
addFilteredList(personContact);
allContacts.put(prevId, personContact);
}
prevId = contactId;
personContact = new PersonContact();
} else {
if (personContact != null) {
personContact.id = prevId;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.company)) personContact.company = company;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.firstName)) personContact.firstName = first;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.lastName)) personContact.lastName = last;
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(email) && personContact.emails.size() == 0) {
personContact.emails.add(email);
}
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(phone) && personContact.phoneNumbers.size() == 0) {
personContact.phoneNumbers.add(phone);
}
}
}
contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
}
cursor.close();
}
As you can see, I used the prevId field, because cursor.moveToNext performs several times for one contact (once for first and last names, one for phone, etc.). After each iteration, I check the previous contact identifier with the current identifier and, if it is false, I update the fields in the personContact model.

May not be the best solution. But this is how I achieved it.

I am getting warning also : W/CursorWrapperInner(22787): Cursor finalized without prior close()

use the bellow code get the contacts
private void readMessagesFromDeviceDB()
{
Uri SMSURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
String[] projection = new String[]{"_id", "address", "body", "date"};
Cursor cursor = null;
try

, projection
, null //selection
, null //selectionArgs
, null); //sortOrder
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst())
{
do
{
int id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id")); //returns a unique thread id
String address = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("address")); //returns contact no.
String body = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("body")); //returns message body
String date = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("date")); //returns date( when was the message received )
SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd, MMM HH:mm");
date = formatter.format(new Date(Long.parseLong(date)));
// System.out.println("id: " + id + " address: " + address + " body: " + body + " date: " + date);

Read all SMS from a particular sender

How do I read all SMSes from a particular sender to me? E.g. I want to scan a) the body, and b) the date/time of all SMSes that came from 'TM-MYAMEX' to the phone.
Some websites seem to indicate this can be read from "content://sms/inbox". I couldn't figure out exactly how. Also not sure if it is supported on most phones. I am using a Galaxy S2.

try this way:
StringBuilder smsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
final String SMS_URI_INBOX = "content://sms/inbox";
final String SMS_URI_ALL = "content://sms/";
try {
Uri uri = Uri.parse(SMS_URI_INBOX);
String[] projection = new String[] { "_id", "address", "person", "body", "date", "type" };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, "address='123456789'", null, "date desc");
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
int index_Address = cur.getColumnIndex("address");
int index_Person = cur.getColumnIndex("person");
int index_Body = cur.getColumnIndex("body");
int index_Date = cur.getColumnIndex("date");
int index_Type = cur.getColumnIndex("type");
do {
String strAddress = cur.getString(index_Address);
int intPerson = cur.getInt(index_Person);
String strbody = cur.getString(index_Body);
long longDate = cur.getLong(index_Date);
int int_Type = cur.getInt(index_Type);
smsBuilder.append("[ ");
smsBuilder.append(strAddress + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(intPerson + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(strbody + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(longDate + ", ");
smsBuilder.append(int_Type);
smsBuilder.append(" ]\n\n");
} while (cur.moveToNext());
if (!cur.isClosed()) {
cur.close();
cur = null;
}
} else {
smsBuilder.append("no result!");
} // end if
}
} catch (SQLiteException ex) {
Log.d("SQLiteException", ex.getMessage());
}
AndroidManifest.xml:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS" />

try this, its a easy way for reading message from inbox.
public class ReadMsg extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView listView;
private static final int PERMISSION_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS = 100;
ArrayList smsList;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_read_msg);
listView = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.idList);
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_SMS);
if (permissionCheck == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED){
showContacts();
}else{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_SMS},PERMISSION_REQUEST_READ_CONTACTS);
}
}
private void showContacts() {
Uri inboxURI = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
smsList = new ArrayList();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor c = cr.query(inboxURI,null,null,null,null);
while (c.moveToNext()){
String Number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("address")).toString();
String Body= c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow("body")).toString();
smsList.add("Number: "+ Number + "\n" + "Body: "+ Body );
}
c.close();
ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, smsList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
Add this permission into Manifests.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"></uses-permission>

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
inbox = (Button) findViewById(R.id.inbox);
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
arlist = new ArrayList<String>();
inbox.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Uri inboxUri = Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox");
String[] reqCols = {"_id", "body", "address"};
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(inboxUri, reqCols, "address='+919456'", null, null);
adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.msg_content_layout, cursor,
new String[]{"body", "address"}, new int[]{R.id.txt1, R.id.txt2});
list.setAdapter(adapter);
}
});
}
Here I have added the number +919456 as the value of the address field.
Apart from this you need to add the READ_SMS permission to manifest:

you can do this in few line of code
String[] phoneNumber = new String[] { "+923329593103" };
Cursor cursor1 = getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://sms/inbox"), new String[] { "_id", "thread_id", "address", "person", "date","body", "type" }, "address=?", phoneNumber, null);
StringBuffer msgData = new StringBuffer();
if (cursor1.moveToFirst()) {
do {
for(int idx=0;idx<cursor1.getColumnCount();idx++)
{
msgData.append(" " + cursor1.getColumnName(idx) + ":" + cursor1.getString(idx));
}
} while (cursor1.moveToNext());
} else {
edtmessagebody.setText("no message from this contact"+phoneNumber);
}

public class SmsController extends BroadcastReceiver {
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
SmsMessage msgs[] = null;
Bundle bundle = intent.getExtras();
try {
Object pdus[] = (Object[]) bundle.get("pdus");
msgs = new SmsMessage[pdus.length];
for (int n = 0; n < pdus.length; n++) {
byte[] byteData = (byte[]) pdus[n];
msgs[n] = SmsMessage.createFromPdu(byteData);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
for (int i = 0; i < msgs.length; i++) {
String message = msgs[i].getDisplayMessageBody();
if (message != null && message.length() > 0) {
String from = msgs[i].getOriginatingAddress();
if(FROM.contains("TM-MYAMEX")){
String body = message ;
Date datetime = new Date() ;
}
}
}
}
}
}
I'm not sure of what does "TM-MYAMEX" means but here is the code to get all SMS.
Date = new Date()beacause its under a BroadcastReceiverthen the tme you get the message its the current time.
Hope this help.
