I'm currently using the following to retrieve contacts from the phone:
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String[] columnName = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor contactsCursor = cr.query(uri, columnName, null, null, "display_name ASC");
Does anyone knows how to retrieve distinct phone numbers from Android phone?

I have a requirement when I need to get the Contact name of the selected numbers from the ANDROID_CONTACTS.
I can get the name of a particular number using ->
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null) {
return;
}
How can I pass a list of numbers and get their respective names?
Here's the naive approach:
String[] phones = new String[] { "(212) 555-1111", "(212) 555-2222", "(212) 555-3333"};
String selection = Phone.NUMBER + "IN (?,?,?)";
String[] selectionArgs = phones;
String[] projection = new String[] { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.CONTACT_ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
DatabaseUtils.dumpCursor(cur); // dumps the cursor to logcat
However, this will only work if you enter the phone number in exactly the same format as it is stored in the ContactsContract DB under NUMBER.
The nice thing about the PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI API you've used is that the format of the number doesn't matter, it'll find it in the DB in any format you use.
To replicate something like that, you can try using another field called NORMALIZED_NUMBER which should always hold the number in a specific format called E164.
So you can run a query like this:
String[] e164_phones = new String[] { "+12125551111", "+12125552222", "+12125553333"};
String selection = Phone.NUMBER + "IN (?,?,?)";
String[] selectionArgs = e164_phones; // all phones here must be in e164 format
String[] projection = new String[] { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.CONTACT_ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, selectionArgs, null);
You'll probably need a way to convert a phone number to E164 format for this code, check out this answer then.
I am implementing an AutocompleteView to search phone numbers. The code is working fine except in some conditions.
My Code :
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE};
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + " LIKE ?";
String[] selectionArgs = new String[]{"%" + charSequence.toString() + "%"};
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
This code is working fine where there is no space in the phone numbers. For example if i enter '123' in my autocompleteView, it is able to find phone numbers like '9123456789' or '8283929383' but it is not able to find numbers '9123 456 789' or '912 3456 789'
I even tried implementing this with ContactsContract.PhoneLookup API but with this, it didnt work at all.
Code with ContactsContract.PhoneLookup API:
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.NUMBER, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.TYPE};
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(charSequence.toString()));
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
Any help is appreciated.
Instead of using ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, use ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER (this return phone numbers in E164 format)
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String[] projection = new String[]{"body", "ct_t", "_id", "address"};
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/" + id);
Cursor c = cr.query(uri, projection, null, null, null);
This queries all messages from a specific conversation and I would like only the sent messages to display as I need to distinguish each party of the conversation.
Is there such a thing as a uri like this:
Uri uri2 = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/" + id + "/sent/");
You'll need to add a couple of columns to your projection, and include a selection argument in the query() call.
final String[] projection = {"_id", "address", "body", "ct_t", "type", "msg_box"};
final String selection = "(type = 2 OR msg_box = 2)";
final Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations/" + threadId);
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, null, null);
An SMS message will have a type value of 2 when it has been sent. An MMS message will have the same value, but in the msg_box column.
I am referring to the https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.Entity.html#CONTENT_DIRECTORY. And I want to use the ContactsContract.Contacts.Entity URI for better results. APi level is 11 and my device OS is 4.0. I am using below code. And below is the exception I am getting in logs.
Please advice in which way I can use the ContactsContract.Contacts.Entity API.
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/entities
Cursor phones=null;
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri phoneuri = Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
Uri phone_uri = phoneuri.withAppendedPath(phoneuri, ContactsContract.Contacts.Entity.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
phones = cr.query(phone_uri, null, null, null, null);
for(int i=0;i<phones.getCount();i++)
{
Log.e("int","f_name="+phones.getColumnName(i));
}
phones.close();
Use this code to get all contacts from android:
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String[] projection = { ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID };
Cursor contacts = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
projection, null, null, "UPPER("
+ ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + ") ASC");
startManagingCursor(contacts);
Hope this will help you.
int contactId = 111;//one contact's id
Uri contactsUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
Uri entityUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactsUri, Contacts.Entity.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(entityUri,
null,null, null, null);
Hi all I am trying to get contact information from the contact database using ContentResolver with these field want to get name, number, FORMATTED_ADDRESS, PHOTO
details for a contact in one single query.
So basically I need to make 3 queries per contact to obtain these
details.
What I want to know is that, is there a simpler and more efficient way
to achieve what this.
but using the below code i am getting exception.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column data1
Can any body help me for finding the solution for the same.
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO};
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = '1'";
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
Cursor contacts = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
Maybe problem will be at selection. Replace yours method with mine.
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO};
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = ?";
String[] selectionArgs = { String.valueOf(1) };
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
Cursor contacts = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
You should always use parametrized statements. Your approach is dangerous. And your URI was bad.
Here you go
Replace
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
with
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
