I want the Name of the Contact which includes (FAMILY_NAME, GIVEN_NAME,MIDDLE_NAME,PHONETIC_FAMILY_NAME,PHONETIC_GIVEN_NAME,PHONETIC_MIDDLE_NAME,PREFIX,SUFFIX).
I know that column names of the above data that starts with
android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName
But i am unable to get the URI of the data.
I was working on device with api level 8 so i want to fetch these details using
android.provider.ContactsContract
I have searched about this in commumnity but i can't get the desired result.
I am working for 4 hours on this.
Any help will be appreciated.
I was using this code
Cursor cursor = activity.managedQuery(android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor != null)
{
if (cursor.moveToFirst())
{
int rows = cursor.getCount();
int cols = cursor.getColumnCount();
do
{
int _id = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("_id"));
int times_contacted = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("times_contacted"));
int has_phone_number = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("has_phone_number"));
int send_to_voicemail = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("send_to_voicemail"));
int starred = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex("starred"));
// Here i want the contact names But i dont know what column name i have to pass to get them
}
while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
cursor.close();
}
Thanks in advance.
Ok, Try this, and let me know what happen,
Look at ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName class. You can find there all columns you are looking for.
String whereName = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
String[] whereNameParams = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
Cursor nameCur = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, whereName, whereNameParams, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME);
while (nameCur.moveToNext()) {
String given = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME));
String family = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME));
String display = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
nameCur.close();
Look at this SO question How to get the firstname and lastname from android contacts?
EDIT: Look at this complete example for working with android contacts Working With Android Contacts, Now if you want to get more info from any contacts then add a particular column on that cursor. For more columns look at ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.

I am trying to get first name and last name in contact book by phone number.
Here is my code:
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor cursor = cResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
if(cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int idColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID);
int firstNameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME);
int lastNameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME);
while (!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
long id = cursor.getLong(idColumnIndex);
contact = new MyContact();
contact.setId(id);
contact.setFirstName(cursor.getString(firstNameIndex));
contact.setLastName(cursor.getString(lastNameIndex));
}
cursor.close();
}
But firstNameIndex and lastNameIndex is always -1. What I am doing wrong ? Please help me.
PhoneLookup is a nice and quick way to get contact data by a phone number, but it returns a cursor limited to the columns mentioned in the docs.
You can see there's DISPLAY_NAME you can access, but not GIVEN_NAME, FAMILY_NAME.
GIVEN_NAME & FAMILY_NAME are fields stored in the Data table, which means you need to query that table separately to get to those fields.
So, you can just add another query using the contact ID you got from PhoneLookup (note that for each looked up phone there might be multiple contacts returned).
Here's a sample method to get first/last names from contact ID:
private void addNames(MyContact contact, long contactId) {
String[] projection = new String[] {StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME};
// filter to just StructuredName rows from the data table for the given contact
String selection = Data.CONTACT_ID + "=" + contactID + " AND " + Data.MIMETYPE + "=" + StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE;
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, null);
if (cursor.next()) {
contact.setFirstName(cursor.getString(0));
contact.setLastName(cursor.getString(1));
}
cursor.close();
}
I'm using the following code segment to get phone numbers of a contact by contact ID
private static ArrayList<PhoneName> getPhonesFromID(Context context,
String contactID, String column) {
// Run query
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.STARRED,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE };
String selection = column + " = '" + contactID + "'";
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(uri, projection,
selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
if (cursor == null)
return null;
int numberIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
int nameIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
int typeIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE);
int favIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.STARRED);
ArrayList<PhoneName> phones = new ArrayList<PhoneName>();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
PhoneName pn = new PhoneName();
pn.name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);
pn.number = cursor.getString(numberIndex);
pn.starred = cursor.getString(favIndex);
pn.state = DataHelper.getInstance(context)
.getSubscriptionStateByNumber(pn.number);
Log.d("Number", pn.number);
int type = cursor.getInt(typeIndex);
if (type == ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME) {
pn.type = "Home";
} else if (type == ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE) {
pn.type = "Mobile";
} else if (type == ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK) {
pn.type = "work";
} else {
pn.type = "other";
}
phones.add(pn);
}
cursor.close();
return phones;
}
Here's PhoneName is my self-defined class to store contact information of that specific contact. This function is called like:
getPhonesFromID(context, _id,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID);
I'm getting the contact information correctly but here's the problem, sometimes this function returns null when I make frequent queries. When this problem occurs, default people application of my android don't show any contact too. All contacts are like vanished. Then if I close my application and restart then it shows all contacts like before. Then again when I go to the contact details of a contact from my application it works fine several times and then all contacts are gone again.
This is a weird problem and I don't know actually what is happening here. I double checked my queries and couldn't figure out what's wrong in here.
Finally, this problem got solved.
Like I said, my application is like Phonebook and I had to show a favourite icon for each contact in the list which is my favourite contact. In my case, I had a function like isFavourite() to determine if a contact is in my favourite list or not and this is called in every single time when a contact row is loading.
Each time I open a cursor to get the query result and it was found that the cursor was not closed anywhere. So basically, closing the cursor properly solved the problem! Cheers!
I'm new to android and i'm working with native contact.
So my app is let user put contact display name and their number for edit/delete.
In case the contact have more that one number.
I tried a lot but still have no luck, the app still doesn't update the number or it crashes.
What I'm going to do as my understanding is:
Find name in contact that matched name user inserted and use that to get contact_id that represent this contact datagroup.
Use contact_id in 1. and the number user input to find ._ID that represent the specific row id.
Do task with ._ID we get from 2.
This is 1. code to get contact_id:
public String getPeopleUniqueID(String name, Context context) {
String s = null;
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" like'%" + name +"%'";
String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID};
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
projection, selection, null, null);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
s = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID));
}
c.close();
return s;
}
This is 2. code to get ._ID (num is number user inserted and name is from 1. > the contact_id)
public String checkPhoneNumber(String num, String name, Context context) {
String s = null;
String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + "=?" + " AND "+ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+ "=?";
String[] projection = new String[] {ContactsContract.Data._ID};
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
projection, selection, new String[]{u,name}, null);
if(c.moveToFirst()) {
s=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
}
c.close();
if (s==null){
s = "null";
}
return s;
}
To do something like editing (num is _.ID we get from 2. and newnum is new number user want to change into).
public void editNumber(String num , String newnum) {
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(Data._ID + "=? AND " +
Data.MIMETYPE + "='" +
CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'",
new String[]{num})
.withValue(Data.DATA1, newnum)
.build());
try{
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);}
catch (RemoteException e){e.printStackTrace();}catch (OperationApplicationException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}
And well it crashes when I call editNumber().
Can you help me fix my code and my understanding?
And another question, can I edit/insert group for the contact programatically, like I want to add this contact to family friend or co-worker group (the default group that we can set at contact edit page)?
Use ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI for searching a contact based on name - to get Id or anything else. The like operator cannot handle all cases which the CONTENT_FILTER_URI does handle - For various languages, special characters etc.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html#CONTENT_FILTER_URI
Use following uri to lookup a contact from phone number - you can get person id or anything else :
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
In the set query you can also use contactId in the condition
For groups you can use custom mimetypes if the default one does not suit you (which is still very primitive for groups across different account types)
The code snippet below returns basic SMS conversation data:
Cursor cursor = activity.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse( "content://mms-sms/conversations?simple=true"), null, null, null, "normalized_date desc" );
if(cursor.moveToFirst())
String recipient_ids = cursor.getString(3);
My question is that how can I get a phone's contact data given that recipient_ids? In this case I need to retrieve the contact number and contact display_name.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Try this:
public String getContactData(String id){
String number;
Cursor phones = fa.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ id, null, null);
if(phones.moveToFirst()) {
number = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
phones.close();
return number;
}
Hope it helps!
This is, what's working in my app:
private String getContactNumber(final long recipientId) {
String number = null;
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(ContentUris
.withAppendedId(Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/canonical-address"), recipientId),
null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
number = c.getString(0);
}
c.close();
return number;
}
The contact numbers are saved in some table called canonical-address.
It was kind of buggy a few years ago. Updates on the contact did not propagate through this table properly. But I think that's fine now.
You basically need to parse the (list of) ids into single ids. Then query the database for each of them.
You could use one single query for all ids together, though.
I am trying to find out if the caller id is in the contacts list. So the code I am using for that:
ContentResolver resolver = this.service.getContentResolver();
String number = PhoneLookup.NUMBER;
String[] projections = { number };
String selectionClause = number + " = ?";
String[] selectionClauseArgs = { callerId };
Cursor people = resolver.query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, projections,
selectionClause, selectionClauseArgs, null);
return people.getCount() > 0 ? true : false;
I am giving the filtering functionality to the ContentResolver itself instead of fetching everything, iterating over them and checking one by one.
But I receive the following error for something reason (There are many codes but they are working just fine, since they are just subscribing to the telephony events in order to receive caller id when some one is calling!")
08-28 19:20:05.903: E/AndroidRuntime(737): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column number
I don't what is invalid. I am using right column name which is PhoneLookup.NUMBER constant. A similar question was asked here before: How to read contacts on Android 2.0 which I followed.
There's no phone numbers in this table. You should query it from another place.
Here's fast scratch (I belive there's better way to do it):
boolean hasPhoneNumber = (people.getInt(people.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)) > 0);
if (hasPhoneNumber) {
String id = people.getString(people.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String num = getNumber(id);
}
public String getNumber(String id) {
String number = null;
String name = null;
Cursor pCur = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
if (pCur.moveToFirst()) {
number = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
name = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
}
pCur.close();
return number;
}
