Get the email address from a contact

I'm trying to get the Email address of a user I select in the contact list. I am able to get the ID, phone and name of the contact and by using the ID, I am trying to get the Email address using a new Cursor but am unable to get the details from the contact.
Below is the code I am using:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent aData) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, aData);
if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && aData != null) {
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String phoneNo = "";
String name = "";
String id = "";
String email = "";
Uri uri = aData.getData();
if (uri != null) {
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
int phoneIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
int nameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
phoneNo = cursor.getString(phoneIndex);
name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);
}
cursor.close();
} else {
showDialog(getString(R.string.lbl_error_message_contact));
}
} else {
showDialog(getString(R.string.lbl_error_message_contact));
}
Cursor emailCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (emailCur.moveToNext()) { // when it gets here, it just skips the while loop and jumps down to the to close the emailCur
// This would allow you get several email addresses
// if the email addresses were stored in an array
email = emailCur.getString(
emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.ADDRESS));
}
emailCur.close();
mMedia.setLendersName(name);
mMedia.setPhoneNumber(phoneNo);
mMedia.setEmail(email);
}
}
Could it be that the ID may not be correct?
EDIT
One thing that is really weird is that when I select a contact and return back to the screen. The ID is very different to the ID I get when I run #Android Team's code which returns all the contacts with email addresses. What could be the reason behind this?
My thinking when I was trying to get the email address was that the ID's wont be different, but it seems it is the case.

when you getting device contact information you can add permission in manifest file..
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
then after used below method to get all the email id which device store in contact..
/**
* this method read device in contact name and email.
*/
public void getContact() {
Cursor cur = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
Cursor cur1 = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (cur1.moveToNext()) {
//to get the contact names
String name = cur1.getString(cur1.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.e("Name :", name);
String email = cur1.getString(cur1.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
Log.e("Email", email);
}
cur1.close();
}
}
}
check in log cat show all email id to be added in device.

I hope you know the Permission part and all, just add this code once you are allowed permission by user, and populate the email string in Edittext use it wherever you want
Account[] accounts = AccountManager.get(activityContext).getAccountsByType("com.google");
for (Account account : accounts) {
// if (emailPattern.matcher(account.name).matches()) {
String possibleEmail = account.name;
}
You might have to use this piece of code in activity to Populate the data, just an Add On
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
regEmail.setText(emailId);
}
});

I don't think some of you understood what I was trying to say, but this is the solution I found to get the Contact details of a selected contact by starting an intent to get the details from the Systems contact list.
Start the intent with the following intent to get the Name and Phone number:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
Once the contact is selected, it comes back into onActivityResult. Here is an example of getting the Name and Phone number from the response.
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent aData) {
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, aData);
if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && aData != null) {
final String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE};
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String phoneNo;
String name;
String lookUpKey = "";
String email;
Uri uri = aData.getData();
if (uri != null) {
// ****************************First we want to get the Lookup Key, Name and Phone number****************************
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
lookUpKey = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
int phoneIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
int nameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
phoneNo = cursor.getString(phoneIndex);
name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);
mMedia.setLendersName(name);
mMedia.setPhoneNumber(phoneNo);
}
// ****************************Now we want to get the email address, if any from the contact****************************
// At this point, we use the Lookup key of the contact above, to get the email address (If any)
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(lookUpKey)) {
//Do a query with the Lookup key to get the email details (Could possibly get more data as well, but I just needed the email address
cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, projection, ContactsContract.Data.LOOKUP_KEY + "=?", new String[]{lookUpKey}, null);
if (cursor != null) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
// Get the index of the column for the email address here
final int contactEmailColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA);
while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
// Here is where we get the email address itself
email = cursor.getString(contactEmailColumnIndex);
// Set it where ever you need it.
mMedia.setEmail(email);
cursor.moveToNext();
}
}
// Dont forget to close the cursor once you done with it
cursor.close();
}
}
} else {
showDialog(getString(R.string.lbl_error_message_contact));
}
} else {
showDialog(getString(R.string.lbl_error_message_contact));
}
}
}

Method to return contacts phone number always returns null - Android [duplicate]

I am able to retrieve the contact ID, but then later I wish to separately retrieve the phone number based on the contact ID. The code below is returning a null result for the phone number. (I do wish later to retrieve the name and phone number together and populate a view, but I am just trying to get the phone number to work first).
In my onCreate I have this code
String phoneNum = getPhoneNumber(myID);
TextView phoneTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewPhone);
phoneTextView.setText(phoneNum);
This is the method for getPhoneNumber()
protected String getPhoneNumber(String id) {
ArrayList<String> phones = new ArrayList<String>();
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
phones.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)));
}
cursor.close();
String phoneNum;
phoneNum = phones.get(0);
return phoneNum;
}//end getPhoneNumber();
}
This produces the error java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0, which I plan on creating some error handling for. But still, I am certain I have the ID from the previous code, so I don't know why the ArrayList returns null. If you would like to see that code, it is also in my onCreate:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 0) {
int numContacts = cursor.getCount();
ArrayList<String> idList = new ArrayList<>();
Random rand = new Random();
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(numContacts);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
idList.add(id);
}
myID = idList.get(randomNum);
String myString = Integer.toString(randomNum);
TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewID);
myTextView.setText(myString);
if (myID != null) {
myTextView.setText(myID);
} else {
myTextView.setText("Try Again!");
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your have no contacts.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
cursor.close();

// You can fetch the Contact Number and Email With Following Methods.
String phone = getPhoneNumber(ContactId);
String email = getEmail("" + ContactId);
private String getPhoneNumber(long id) {
String phone = null;
Cursor phonesCursor = null;
phonesCursor = queryPhoneNumbers(id);
if (phonesCursor == null || phonesCursor.getCount() == 0) {
// No valid number
//signalError();
return null;
} else if (phonesCursor.getCount() == 1) {
// only one number, call it.
phone = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
} else {
phonesCursor.moveToPosition(-1);
while (phonesCursor.moveToNext()) {
// Found super primary, call it.
phone = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
break;
}
}
return phone;
}
private Cursor queryPhoneNumbers(long contactId) {
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri baseUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
contactId);
Uri dataUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c = cr.query(dataUri, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL},
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
return c;
}
return null;
}
private String getEmail(String id) {
String email = "";
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
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
email = emailCur.getString(
emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
// String emailType = emailCur.getString(
// emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
}
emailCur.close();
return email;
}

I have not been able to successfully retrieve code based on the Contact ID - but this post gave me a clue: Retrieving a phone number with ContactsContract in Android - function doesn't work
I have altered my original code to query on DISPLAY_NAME instead and things are working now. Here is the method I am using to retrieve the phone number:
private String retrieveContactNumber(String contactName) {
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Name: " + contactName);
Cursor cursorPhone = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER},
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " = ? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + " = " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE,
new String[]{contactName},
null);
if (cursorPhone.moveToFirst()) {
contactNumber = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
cursorPhone.close();
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Phone Number: " + contactNumber);
return contactNumber;
}

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;
}

Somebody please help me, I really need help.
Sorry for my poor english.
thanks ..

this may helps you to get specific contact Details
here name or number pass and get contact details wich you want
private String getContactName(Context context, String number) {
String name = null;
// define the columns I want the query to return
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID};
// encode the phone number and build the filter URI
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
// query time
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null) {
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.v(TAG, "Started uploadcontactphoto: Contact Found # " + number);
Log.v(TAG, "Started uploadcontactphoto: Contact name = " + name);
} else {
Log.v(TAG, "Contact Not Found # " + number);
}
cursor.close();
}
return name;
}
