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 valid phone number length and validate it in app for particular country

I am allowing user to register with mobile number only and i wanna validate number in app without using internet, what i wanna do is that get valid phone number length of country selected by user , validate it with length and formatting of number in that country's format.
for e.g. length of India's phone number is 10 and format is 0**********
Please tell me how to do that.

Add Following Code.
In gradle
compile 'com.googlecode.libphonenumber:libphonenumber:8.5.2'
In Activity class
PhoneNumberUtil phoneNumberUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
String isoCode = phoneNumberUtil.getRegionCodeForCountryCode(Integer.parseInt(countryCode));
String exampleNumber= String.valueOf(phoneNumberUtil.getExampleNumber(isoCode).getNationalNumber());
int phoneLength=exampleNumber.length();
editTextLoginPhone.setFilters( new InputFilter[] {
new InputFilter.LengthFilter(phoneLength)});
Hope this code will help you.

if you not want to use the internet of checking the number valid or not , you can do programmatically though its long but solution can be this only .
Go to link : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_phone_number_series_by_country
and do programmatically the validation with conditions.

You can try this code for Indian Phone numbers:-
private static boolean isValidPhoneNumber(String mobile) {
String regEx = "^[0-9]{10}$";
return mobile.matches(regEx);
}

you should force user to enter the country code and you can validate the phone number also just go through the links below
https://github.com/googlei18n/libphonenumber
and
List of phone number country codes

How to handle mobile numbers of different countries?

I am building an android app for blocking calls. Now when i am asking the user for contact that he/she wants to block then that number may or may not contain that country's code, while when i will receive a call from that person it will surely have the country code. For example,
in India one can store its number in three different ways:
1) 90331xxxxx
2) 090331xxxxx
3) +9190331xxxxx
Now if user added a contact number which was stored in first way then how could i compare it with the incoming number because the incoming number will be surely having country code.
Also the length of all mobiles number across the world is different. So, how should i compare this numbers.

You should use https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/. This has lot of features that you need.
https://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/#Quick_Examples states how you can use this library to parse numbers and get country specific number, so basically you need to just get the local number using this library and then use that for your comparison.
String swissNumberStr = "044 668 18 00"
PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance();
try {
PhoneNumber swissNumberProto = phoneUtil.parse(swissNumberStr, "CH");
} catch (NumberParseException e) {
System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString());
}
boolean isValid = phoneUtil.isValidNumber(swissNumberProto); // returns true
// Produces "+41 44 668 18 00"
System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.INTERNATIONAL));
// Produces "044 668 18 00"
System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.NATIONAL));
// Produces "+41446681800"
System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.E164));

How to show country flags according to phone numbers in android?

I want to display country flags with respect to phone-numbers in my contact lists like rebtel(Screen shot shown below).

Parse the phone number and get the international prefix, then you can use Wikipedia: List_of_country_calling_codes to get the country. You can implement a Map with key being the international prefix and key the country name.

Here I am giving you the logic part,
You can get the ISD code and flag image from this link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_country_calling_codes#Alphabetical_listing_by_country_or_region
You need to make two Array variables,
String [] countryCode = new String { "+91","+92", ... };
int [] country = new int { R.drawable.91.png, R.drawable.92.png,.... };
// Considering here 91.png is india's map
Now get the phone number from contact list , suppose you have +91987654321. So remove first + sign and compare 91 to all the resources images. When match found, put that image with the contact.

You can use this library for your Requirement.
Go to detail you can show country flag and country code with use of this.

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?

Note: I'm posting my other two reference links in separate answers, as I can't seem to post more than one hyperlink per post at this time.

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.
