Compare phone number from database in different condition

I'm developing sms APP and want to receive sms from the specific numbers. But number can be changed sometime with country code as +923201234567 or sometime without country code 03201234567 how I can compare number from database? because don't know in which format number is saved in database(with country code or without country code)
public boolean isMember(String phone, long id){
String query = "SELECT * from members where phone = ? AND active = 1 AND gid = ?";
Cursor c = dbActions.rawQuery(query, new String[]{String.valueOf(phone), String.valueOf(id)});
return c.moveToFirst();
}
Suppose if the number is saved in database without country code 03201234567 then my requirement is to get true if I compare it with country code. +923201234567. Country code could be changed.
PhoneNumberUtils.compare(); is not useful because it not compare with database.

If you can't acquire the correct information always; then you need to look into heuristics.
Meaning: you could write your own comparisons; and when you encounter two numbers like:
03201234567
+923201234567
you can figure: their "tail" is equal; the only difference is that the first one starts with 0 (so no country code) and the second one with +92. So it might be reasonable to declare those two numbers to be equal.
So a "solution" would do things like "normalize" your input (remove all non-digit content; except for leading + signs); and to then make such "tail-bound" comparisons.
If that is "too" fuzzy; I guess then you should step back and describe the requirement that you actually try to resolve here. Why are you comparing numbers; and what do you intend to do with the output of that comparison?!

Normalize all of the phone numbers into the same format before you put them into the database. That way you can just do a normal db search.
The other thing I've done for phone numbers is to convert all letters into the appropriate number, then remove all non digits, then just compare the last 7 digits.

How to get the particular value from the response message and assign it to another variable in the next request in Jmeter?

I am trying to make a performance testing process by using the Jmeter for the mobile chat application. The scenario i am trying is,need to analyze the output during the N number of new user registration process.I am feeding the N user data through "CSV Data Set Config".In that mentioned the variable names as "phone,ime".
For each new user registration process,the application will generate the one time password when calling the API1.The question is,I need to get that generated one time password from the API1 response message for each phone user and need to assign the value to the variable ${code} when calling the API2.
The below are the API & parameters details:
API1:/api/users/registration-sms.html?
1) Name:phone, Value: ${phone}
2) Name:ime, Value: ${ime}
Example :
Request - POST data: phone=917010370002 & ime=e78b56418b55b32c
Response:{"response":{"httpCode":200,"Message":"True","Code":"5858"}}
API2: /api/users/registration-sms-verfy.html?
1) Name:phone, Value:${phone}
2) Name:code, Value:${code}
Note : For this variable ${code},We need to get the data from the API1("Code":"5858") response message for the respective phone(917010370002).
Please provide me the feasible solution to sort out of my requirement.
Thanks in advance.

You can use Regular extractor post processor like,
Assuming your response is like
{"response":{"httpCode":200,"Message":"True","Code":"5858"}}
your regular expression will be like to extract code value but for specifiic phone no you need to modify it a little bit,
"Code"\:"(\d+)"
for occurance detail you can provide which match no. you want.

Seperate address name from number android

I am creating an app and i get an Address from geocoder.So I am getting a string that contains the address.My problem is that I want to put the name in a Textview the number in an Edittext(so the client can edit the number) and the city with the postcode to an other Textview.Any ideas?Thanks.

If there is a particular pattern in the Address you get, you can use String.split() method of Java to extract tokens which can then be used individually to fill particular information. See this example for understanding its working.
The best approach would be to write a Regular expression and group corresponding pieces of information and then getting them back using Matcher class.
This example explains how to get Regular expression's to work.

Sending Data via Bluetooth

I'm a little confused about how to send data over a Bluetooth connection. In the Android API documentation, from the Bluetooth Chat example, the class BluetoothChat.java constructs a Handler object. Within there is a switch statement, and a MESSAGE_WRITE case. Do I need to implement similar code to send Strings over Bluetooth? A case statement for each String I want to send? In particular I want to send (name,value) pairs so I know what is sent and what it's value is. How do I implement this? If, following the example, I call BluetoothChatService.write(String.getBytes()) a bunch of times to send...? Then how would I know which strings are associated with which names? Please help.

I'm using Google's Protocol Buffers to send structured data over bluetooth connections in my Android app. protobuf takes care of figuring out how to serialize the message for you so that you only have to send a byte value (length of the message) and then the serialized message; the library takes care of unserializing the message on the other end and populating the fields of a custom object. Definitely take a look at it; it made the writing of a custom bluetooth socket protocol quite easy.

Serialize pairs to any of formats which allows byte representation. Such as XML or JSON. Or even your custom format, it wouldn't be difficult for pairs of strings. And then send it.

For simple pairs of strings (Such as names), you could simply use some character to define when the first string stops, and the next begins.
For example, I use a format such as this to send a set of 3 strings from one device to another:
String toSend = partOne + ":" + partTwo + ":" + partThree;
On the other device, to get the strings you sent, use the String.split() method like so:
String parts[] = received.split(":",3);
The 2nd parameter is a limit to how many times to split. In this example, there are 3 strings, so split 3 times max.
The downside to doing this is that you need to use characters that will never be in all but the last string.
In my application, I used this method to send data about text messages, and the first 2 parts are the phone number and timestamp, so there can never be a : in it. For names, a newline would probably work.
If your going to send more complex data, definitely use something like Protocol Buffers.

how to get the localized label of the phone types?

When changing the custom locale the label of the phone types change to the appropriate language. Does anybody know how to get the localized label of the phone types?
I pick a contact in my app to get its phone number and if there is more then one number I use an AlertDialog to let the user select the currect one. In this pick list, I want to show the label of the type, so it's easier for the user to select. Since they labels are somewhere in the Android system, it must be possible to get the localized label. Unfortunately, the Phone.LABEL is null when reading the phone number.

I know this is a bit old, but this:
Phone.getTypeLabel(this.getResources(), cursor.getInt(typeIdx), "");
worked for me

Yes, you can get localized phone type string with the code:
int phoneNumberType = (int)pCur.getInt(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.getTypeLabel(context.getResources(), phoneNumberType , "")
but for custom phone types you should cosider phone label, not only phone type:
String phoneLabel = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL));

Inferno's answer is a valid answer, and I was happy to find this answer because it was similar to what I was looking for. However, if you're dealing with phones installed with API Level 5 (Android 2.0) or newer, there is one small problem with this: android.R.array.phoneTypes only returns the list of phone types that were present prior to when ContactsContract class replaced the Contacts interface as of API Level 5. I verified the labels listed when creating a new contact on emulators running these Android versions (API Levels): 1.6 (4), 2.1-update 1 (7), and 2.2 (8).
When printed out, android.R.array.phoneTypes contains these valid phone types:
Home, Mobile, Work, Work Fax, Home Fax, Pager, Other, Custom
These are the valid phone types, present for phones with Android 2.0+ installed, that are missing from that same Array:
Callback, Car, Company Main, ISDN, Main, Other Fax, Radio, Telex, TTY TDD, Work Mobile, Work Pager, Assistant, MMS
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find something like android.R.array.phoneTypes that'll list all of these valid phone types for phones Android 2.0+. Has anyone come across such yet?

i am using this piece of code
public void getPhoneType(){
int res;
for(int i=0;i<=20;i++){
res = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.getTypeLabelResource(i);
Log.d(TAG,"i: "+ i +" type: " + context.getString(res));
}
}
didn't found any place to get the actual count of valid types but http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.html#getTypeLabelResource%28int%29 says it will always give a valid res so, you can iterate until it start giving repeated values... to me after 20 gives me the custom res.
