I am working on an android application for which I need to match the birthday of each contact against current date and if positive, process some business logic, which needs the complete contact details.
I have found ways to read birthdays of contacts or the contacts themselves separately, but am confused as to how to combine both. Can somebody please provide some direction.
Thanks
Found the answer after some looking out on the web. The way this has to be done is :
Get list of contacts
For each contact, get contactId
Get birthday using the contactid
Following is the code snippet :
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver(); //getContnetResolver()
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
Map<String, String> contactInfoMap = new HashMap<String, String>();
String contactId = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
String displayName = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
String columns[] = {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.MIMETYPE,
};
String where = Event.TYPE + "=" + Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY +
" and " + Event.MIMETYPE + " = '" + Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "' and " + ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId;
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME;
Cursor birthdayCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, columns, where, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
if (birthdayCur.getCount() > 0) {
while (birthdayCur.moveToNext()) {
String birthday = birthdayCur.getString(birthdayCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
}
}
birthdayCur.close();
}
cur.close();

I have tried to get phone number also but i didn't no how to get using this code . This the code i am using please tell how to get number by same code for same id
// method to get name, contact id, and birthday
private Cursor getContactsBirthdays() {
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE
};
String where =
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "= ? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "=" +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY;
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
};
String sortOrder = null;
return managedQuery(uri, projection, where, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
}
// iterate through all Contact's Birthdays and print in log
Cursor cursor = getContactsBirthdays();
int bDayColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String bDay = cursor.getString(bDayColumn);
Log.d(TAG, "Birthday: " + bDay);
}
You need to first get a list of all contact-ids that has birthdays, then query for the phones of all those contacts, and then print the combined results.
Cursor cursor = getContactsBirthdays();
// get contact-ids for phones query
List<String> ids = new ArrayList<>();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
ids.add(cursor.getString(1));
}
String[] projection = new String[] { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.CONTACT_ID };
StringBuilder where = new StringBuilder(Data.MIMETYPE + " = " Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + " AND " + Contacts.CONTACT_ID + " IN (");
for (String id : ids) {
where.append(id).append(",");
}
where.deleteCharAt(where.length() - 1);
where.append(")");
Cursor cur2 = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, where.toString(), null, null);
Map<Long, String> contactIdToPhone = new HashMap<>();
while (cur2.moveToNext()) {
contactIdToPhone.put(cur2.get(1), cur2.get(0));
}
cur2.close();
cursor.moveToPosition(-1);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
Long id = cursor.getLong(1);
Log.i(TAG, "Birthday: id=" + id + ", name=" + cursor.getString(0) + ", date=" + cursor.getString(2) + ", phone=" + contactIdToPhone.get(id));
}
cursor.close();
I have a TextView to which I'm putting my contacts which have birthdays:
private String loadContacts()
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null,
null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() > 0){
while (cursor.moveToNext()){
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
String columns[] = {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.MIMETYPE,
};
String where = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "=" +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY +
" and " + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.MIMETYPE +
" = '" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE +
"' and " + ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE + " ASC";
Cursor birthdayCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, columns, where,
null, sortOrder);
if (birthdayCur.getCount() > 0) {
while (birthdayCur.moveToNext()) {
String birthday = birthdayCur.getString(birthdayCur.
getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
builder.append("Contact: ").append(name).append(" ").append(birthday).append("\n\n");
}
}
birthdayCur.close();
}
}
cursor.close();
return builder.toString();
}
And then assign the contacts on the "onCreate" function
if(ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED)
{
ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(this, new String[] { Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS }, 1);
} else {
listContacts.setText(loadContacts());
}
This line of code:
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE + " ASC";
Cursor birthdayCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, columns, where,
null, sortOrder);
doesn't seem to work no matter what I put there to order it (name, _ID etc.).
I am trying to sort by Birthdays but even if I try to sort by name it doesn't work. Why ?
Am I using wrong type of View(TextView) or is it the way I use StringBuilder to set the text or something else entirely?
My minSdkVersion is 19 and targetSdkVersion 26. I'm testing this App on my Nexus5(api 23 android 6.01) on debugging mode.
I appreciate any advice.
Well this is what happens when I hurried. It was actually beyond simple.
I just needed to put all my needed columns in the first Cursor and the second more important thing was to use "ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI"
instead of "ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI" because the "DATA.CONTENT_URI" actually has all of my needed columns and "Contacts.CONTENT_URI" doesn't.
As simple as that.
private String loadContacts()
{
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String columns[] = {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
};
String where = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "=" +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY +
" and " + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.MIMETYPE +
" = '" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'";
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE + " ASC";
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
columns, where,
null, sortOrder);
if (cursor.getCount() > 0){
while (cursor.moveToNext()){
String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
String birthday = cursor.getString(cursor.
getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
builder.append("Contact: ").append(name).append(birthday).append(" ").append("\n\n");
}
}
cursor.close();
return builder.toString();
}
i'm doing some tests to figure out how the provider works with events etc.
I'm trying to get all contacts of specific accounts, then read details of each contact to get the birthday if present.
I firstly tried to do it in 1 go but I didn't have enough knowledge of the provider so I'm trying to do it in 2 steps for know just to see if I can get to it.
I get Invalid column on this line:
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri, projection, [...]
The contact_id is the problem here. How can I improve the second query to get the data I want? I tried various mods on the code getting nowhere.
Thanks.
The code I use:
private void readContacts(){
Cursor contByAccCursor = getContactsByAccounts();
getContactsBirthdays(contByAccCursor);
}
private Cursor getContactsByAccounts() {
Uri uri = ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE
};
String where = ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " IN ('com.google', 'vnd.sec.contact.phone', 'com.skype.contacts.sync')";
return activity.getContentResolver().query(uri,
projection,
where,
null,
null);
}
private void getContactsBirthdays(Cursor filteredContacts) {
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
//ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE
};
String where =
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "= ? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "=" +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY + " AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID + "= ?";
String[] selectionArgs;
String sortOrder = null;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
ContentResolver cr = activity.getContentResolver();
int accTypeCol = filteredContacts.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE);
while(filteredContacts.moveToNext()){
selectionArgs = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,
filteredContacts.getString(filteredContacts.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID))
};
Cursor cursor = cr.query(uri,
projection,
where,
selectionArgs,
sortOrder);
if(cursor.moveToNext()){
String dName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY));
String bDay = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
String accType = filteredContacts.getString(accTypeCol);
sb.append(dName + "("+accType+")" + " - " + bDay);
sb.append("\n");
}
}
Log.d(TAG, sb.toString());
}
Ok I feel so stupid now. The error is the second content_uri, I was getting the wrong one, must be tired...
This is the correct uri to get the right data:
private void getContactsBirthdays(Cursor filteredContacts) {
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
Hi I am working in Android Contact search module.I am running below Query.
cur = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null , null ,null, null);
from this query I am getting Result Multiple times.Is there any thing which I am doing wrong.I want DISTINCT Result Set.
please help me.
I think you mean you got duplicate record for some contacts. So you must add condition for your query
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '"
+ ("1") + "'";
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
cur = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection
+ " AND " + ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER
+ "=1", null, sortOrder);// this query only return contacts which had phone number and not duplicated
Try this code will help you
public void getContact() {
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
ContentResolver contect_resolver = getContentResolver();
int size = cur.getCount();
if (size > 0 && cur != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cur.moveToPosition(i);
String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = "";
Cursor phoneCur = contect_resolver.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
if (phoneCur.moveToFirst()) {
name = phoneCur.getString(phoneCur .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (!name.equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
String id1 = phoneCur.getString(phoneCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
Cursor emails = getContentResolver()
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID
+ " = " + Integer.parseInt(id1),
null, null);
emailAddress="";
if (emails!=null && emails.getCount() > 0) {
emails.moveToFirst();
emailAddress = emails
.getString(emails
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA));
}
emails.close();
contact.setEmail(emailAddress);
id1 = "";
mcontact_arraylist.add(contact);
}
phoneCur.close();
}
}
cur.close();
}
}
Each record should contain a portion of the data for a contact (eg each phone number or address is a separate row) each row has a mimetype associated with it that is used to determine the data stored in each column. So for an address, the "data1" column holds the street data and data4 might hold the state.
I am able to fetch other information (Display name,organisation,phone no and email_id) of a contact, but not able to fetch birthday and anniversary of that contact.
Here is the code i am using for birthday. It does fetch the data, but gives me wrong data, i.e repeats the same data for all the contacts.
private String getBDate(String id) {
String bday = null;
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE };
String where = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "= ? AND "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "="
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_BIRTHDAY;
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
String sortOrder = null;
Cursor cur = cr.query(uri, projection, where, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
bday = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
Log.v("Birthday", bday);
}
cur.close();
return bday;
}
Same is the case with anniversary, here is the code for it. In some case anniversary is not added but it still shows the data from other contact.
private String getAnnv(String id) {
String annv = null;
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE };
String where = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "= ? AND "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE + "="
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.TYPE_ANNIVERSARY;
String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
// String sortOrder = null;
Cursor cur = cr.query(uri, projection, where, selectionArgs, null);
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
annv = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
Log.v("Anniversary", annv);
}
cur.close();
return annv;
}
you are not using String id perameter in where condition so please check again.
E,g private String getAnnv(String id) function has input for ID but that seems to be not used withing function so please put that ID in condition check and this should work.
e.g
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.CONTACT_ID + "= " + ID
AND ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "= ? AND "
