get contact and email id from users phonebook

I want to get contact and email id from users phonebook and i want to populate them in textfields.
My code is..
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://contacts");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, uri);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
Log.i("please","work");
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CODE);
and onActivityResult() method
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent intent) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_CODE) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri uri = intent.getData();
String[] projection = { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection,
null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int numberColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(numberColumnIndex);
int nameColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
String name = cursor.getString(nameColumnIndex);
Log.d(TAG, "ZZZ number : " + number +" , name : "+name);
}
}
};
but this is not calling the onActivityResult function.
please help me with the issue?

get contact list like
private void insertDummyContact() {
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
AppController.MyApplication.getInstance().trackScreenView("Contact List Invite");
Name.add(name);
Number.add(phoneNumber);
}
phones.close();
// Log.e("number", Name.toString());
// Log.e("name", Number.toString());
ListAdapter = new ContactListAdapter(ContactListInvite.this, Name, Number);
ContactList.setAdapter(ListAdapter);
ListAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}

Android, cannot retrieve phone numbers using user id

I'm trying to retrieve the phone number of a user after selecting him in a picker activity.
This is the code to start the Activity:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, Constants.COMMUNICATION_CONFIG_RESULT);
This is the code to retrive user name, id and phone number, it's used in a onActivityResult:
Uri contactData = data.getData();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
String contactId =
cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID));
String name = cursor.getString(
cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
String hasPhone =
cursor.getString(cursor.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 +" = "+ contactId,null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
String contactNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Log.i("phoneNUmber", "The phone number is "+ contactNumber);
}
}
I get always the user name and id, and the user has always the phone number, but the cursor phone is always empty, regardless of the user selected.
Why can't I get the phone numbers?

Found out the problem. It must be:
String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
if then I query the phone number via
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ contactId,null, null);
The problem was that I selected different fields for the query.

// try this way,hope this will help you...
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, 1);
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
String phoneNumber = getPhoneNumber(data.getData());
if (phoneNumber.trim().length() > 0) {
// use this phoneNumber
} else {
ting("Phone Number Not Founded ...");
}
}
}
private String getPhoneNumber(Uri contactInfo) {
String phoneNumbers = "";
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contactInfo, null, null, null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String hashPhone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
if ("1".equalsIgnoreCase(hashPhone)) {
Cursor contactCursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (contactCursor.moveToNext()) {
int type = contactCursor.getInt(contactCursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
if (type == Phone.TYPE_MOBILE) {
int colIdx = contactCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
phoneNumbers = phoneNumbers.concat(contactCursor.getString(colIdx));
break;
}
}
contactCursor.close();
}
}
cursor.close();
return phoneNumbers;
}

Android:- Select Contact and call to selected number

I have textview. Clicking on it opens up native contact list. Once the users selects a contact, i should display the number in my app. I could display the name but not able to display number. Please help.
Thanks in Advance.
This is my code but after selecting the contact my app crashes."Unfortunately 'app_name' has stopped"
public void dail(View v)
{
Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT);
}
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
{
if (data != null) {
Uri uri = data.getData();
if (uri != null) {
Cursor c = null;
try {
c = getContentResolver().query(uri, new String[]{
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE },
null, null, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
String number = c.getString(0);
int type = c.getInt(1);
showSelectedNumber(type, number);
}
} finally {
if (c != null) {
c.close();
}
}
}
}
}
public void showSelectedNumber(int type, String number) {
Toast.makeText(this, type + ": " + number, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}

Try this in your onActivity result. It will work.
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
cursor = cr.query(intent.getData(), null, null, null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
if (Integer
.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
phoneNumber = phones
.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
phones.close();
} else {
snipp.showAlertDialog(getApplicationContext(), "No Number",
"Cannot read number", false);
}
}
cursor.close();

Try out as below in your onActivityResult
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Log.v("Contact", contactData.toString());
Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData,null,null,null,null);
if(c.moveToFirst()){
id = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
Log.v("Contact", "ID: " + id.toString());
name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.v("Contact", "Name: " + name.toString());
if (Integer.parseInt(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?", new String[]{id}, null);
while(pCur.moveToNext()){
phone = pCur.getString(pCur .getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
Log.v("getting phone number", "Phone Number: " + phone);
}
}
}

Try this
Put this code in your textview OnclickListner
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
In Activity result put this code
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
switch (reqCode) {
case (PICK_CONTACT):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NAME))+" : "+c.getInt(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NUMBER));
//
txtContacts1.setText(name);
}
}
break;
}
For dail that no put this code
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("tel:" + c.getInt(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NUMBER)));
context.startActivity(intent);

Getting contact number using content provider in android

I followed this tutorial and got the basics of Content Providers : http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidSQLite/article.html
But wanted to know how can i get the contact number that is stored against display name. tried with "ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_TYPE". But got an error.
Please let me know if there is any solution.
Thanks
Sneha

This is a good tutorial about Getting contact number using content provider in android
http://www.higherpass.com/Android/Tutorials/Working-With-Android-Contacts/
and
http://www.app-solut.com/blog/2012/06/retrieval-of-contacts-with-contact-contract/
and can pick contact number like this
add button click event like
button1.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, PICK_CONTACT);
}
});
//outside button click
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
switch (reqCode) {
case (PICK_CONTACT):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
getContactInfo(data);
}
}
}
// onActivityResult
private void getContactInfo(Intent data) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(data.getData(), null, null, null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
Name = cursor
.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
String hasPhone = cursor
.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
Cursor emailCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{contactId}, null);
emailCur.close();
if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
hasPhone = "true";
else
hasPhone = "false";
if (Boolean.parseBoolean(hasPhone)) {
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
phoneNo = phones
.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
phones.close();
}
pname.setText(Name);
//
phno.setText(phoneNo);
Toast.makeText(this, Name + " " + phoneNo, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}

This code will work for mobile number contacts, not for email or something. i found this code simplest. let me know if there is any problem.
start activity with pick intent on phone data type:
findViewById(R.id.choose_contact_button).setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent pickContact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(pickContact, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
}
});
Now set onAcitivityResult();
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent){
switch (requestCode){
case PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST:
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK){
Uri contactUri = intent.getData();
Cursor nameCursor = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, null, null, null, null);
if (nameCursor.moveToFirst()){
String name = nameCursor.getString(nameCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String number = nameCursor.getString(nameCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
((EditText)findViewById(R.id.person_name)).setText(name);
((EditText)findViewById(R.id.enter_mobile)).setText(number);
nameCursor.close();
}
}
break;
}
}

How to retrieve Contact name and phone number in Android

I'm trying to retrieve contact list with there name and phone numbers. I try following code:
// Get a cursor over every contact.
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
// Let the activity manage the cursor lifecycle.
startManagingCursor(cursor);
// Use the convenience properties to get the index of the columns
int nameIdx = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NAME);
int phoneIdx = cursor. getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NUMBER);
String[] result = new String[cursor.getCount()];
if (cursor.moveToFirst())
do {
// Extract the name.
String name = cursor.getString(nameIdx);
// Extract the phone number.
String phone = cursor.getString(phoneIdx);
result[cursor.getPosition()] = name + "-" +" "+ phone;
} while(cursor.moveToNext());
This code should return an array with the all contacts name and its phone number but this only returns name of the contact and returns NULL in phone number,
Example Output:
John - null

In Android manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
Then in the activity:
editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){
#Override
public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
if(hasFocus){
editText.setText("");
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
}
}
});
And then you have to catch the result of the action pick contact:
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data){
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
switch(reqCode)
{
case (PICK_CONTACT):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
{
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = managedQuery(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));
editText.setText(nameContact+ " "+ cNumber);
}
}
}
}
}

Don't use deprecated API access like as follow
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().
query( Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null,null);
if(cursor!=null){
while(cursor.moveToNext()){
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE},
" DISPLAY_NAME = '"+cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME))+"'", null, null);
while(c.moveToNext()){
switch(c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE))){
case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE :
case Phone.TYPE_HOME :
case Phone.TYPE_WORK :
case Phone.TYPE_OTHER :
}
}
}
}

Look on the sample code for retrieve the contacts from android mobile,
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cursor.getString(cursor .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
Cursor phones = context.getContentResolver().query(
Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
String number = phones.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
int type = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
switch (type) {
case Phone.TYPE_HOME:
Log.i("TYPE_HOME", "" + number);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:
Log.i("TYPE_MOBILE", "" + number);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_WORK:
Log.i("TYPE_WORK", "" + number);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_FAX_WORK:
Log.i("TYPE_FAX_WORK", "" + number);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_FAX_HOME:
Log.i("TYPE_FAX_HOME", "" + number);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_OTHER:
Log.i("TYPE_OTHER", "" + number);
break;
}
}
phones.close();
cursor.close();

HellBoy is right, Phone.xxx is depricated. I did it that way with a lookup-uri:
Uri look = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI, "23N9983726428fnwe");
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(look);
Experiment with Contacts.xxx on the first line, you will find the right sollution.

Try the below code.
Cursor managedCursor = getContentResolver()
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] {Phone._ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER}, null, null, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
