This is the 'threads' table instance
_id| recipient_ids| snippet
1 | 1 |Hi this is hello world
2 | 2 |Multiple send
3 | 1 3 4 |Send
The values corresponding to the recepient_ids are placed in 'canonical_addresses' table
_id| address
1 |9879565655
2 |1111111111
3 |5465321348
4 |8965321354
Now i have to fetch the 'canonical_addresses.address' for each 'threads.recipient_ids' present in threads table (At times recipient_ids can be more than one) ?
Note:
I'm using content://mms-sms/conversation to fetch details from threads table.
you need to formulate the query as per the below:
String [] colAddress={"DISTINCT address"};
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uriSMSURI, colAddress, null, null,null);
I couldnt find a direct solution towards it.
Indeed, in order to get the recipient details query Content://sms/ with the thread id.
select distinct address from the cursor.
We will be able to get the recipient details.
For more efficient ways pls respond to it.
The snippet is as follows
Uri THREAD_ID_CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://sms/");
Cursor cur = getContentResolver().query(uribuilder.build(), new String[]{"address"},"thread_id=#) group by (address", null,null);
Thank u
Use this uri for fetching
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
Cursor pCur = cr.query(
Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/canonical-addresses"), new String[]{"address"},
"_id" + " = ?",
new String[]{your_thread_id}, null);
String contactAddress = null;
if (pCur != null) {
if (pCur.getCount() != 0) {
pCur.moveToNext();
contactAddress = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex("address"));
}
pCur.close();
}

i want to write a query to get last message send or receive to each contact. but unfortunalty group by clause is creating some issue like by writing the following query i get the last message that is send to a contact and if no message send to a contact then the last receive message is return by this query.
String where = "type=? OR type=? ) GROUP BY ( thread_id ";
String[] whereArgs = new String[] { "" + Constants.SMS_RECEIVE,
"" + Constants.SMS_SENT };
try {
Cursor cursor = ctx.getContentResolver().query(Constants.URI_SMS,
smsProjection, where, whereArgs, "date DESC");
and if i remove the group by clause i get all the messages send or receive to a contact.
String where = "type=? OR type=? ";
String[] whereArgs = new String[] { "" + Constants.SMS_RECEIVE,
"" + Constants.SMS_SENT };
try {
Cursor cursor = ctx.getContentResolver().query(Constants.URI_SMS,
smsProjection, where, whereArgs, "date DESC");
the resone of using group by clause is that why fetch un related records from database.
When you do GROUP BY you can get surprising results for fields, it's really most useful for aggregate functions like SUM() or COUNT(). Depending on how you need to handle multiple contacts, you could ORDER BY (some date field) DESC and then use LIMIT to get just the single most recent entry.
I am trying to get the contact's phone number after I have retrieved their ID number from the built-in activity. However, whenever I query the database using the cursor in my code below -- I get zero rows returned even though there is a mobile number for the contact I have selected.
Can anyone point me in a better direction or show an example of how to get the contact's phone number AFTER getting their userID?
My code:
private Runnable getSMSRunnable() {
return new Runnable() {
public void run() {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, CONTACTS_REQUEST_CODE);
}
};
}
Returns the Log output
content://com.android.contacts/data/6802
From which i pass the ID (6802) into a method which is designed to return the phone number from the ID with the given type (in this case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE)
public static String getContactPhoneNumberByPhoneType(Context context, long contactId, int type) {
String phoneNumber = null;
String[] whereArgs = new String[] { String.valueOf(contactId), String.valueOf(type) };
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(contactId));
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ? and "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + " = ?", whereArgs, null);
int phoneNumberIndex = cursor
.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
Log.d(TAG, String.valueOf(cursor.getCount()));
if (cursor != null) {
Log.v(TAG, "Cursor Not null");
try {
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
Log.v(TAG, "Moved to first");
Log.v(TAG, "Cursor Moved to first and checking");
phoneNumber = cursor.getString(phoneNumberIndex);
}
} finally {
Log.v(TAG, "In finally");
cursor.close();
}
}
Log.v(TAG, "Returning phone number");
return phoneNumber;
}
Which returns null for a phone number -- which means it cannot find the row that I am trying to access -- which means that something is wrong with my query -- however if I check a contact that has a mobile phone number -- how could I get a 0 row query?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
I found the answer.
The reason I was not getting any rows from the cursor was because I was using the line
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
"The id of the row in the Contacts table that this data belongs to."
Since I was getting the URI from contacts table anyways -- this was not needed and the following should have been substituted. The ID was the one corresponding to the contact in the phone table not the raw contact.
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID
Exchanging the lines returned the correct results in the query. Everything seems to be working well at the moment.
This should work, (maybe try losing the type)
Phone numbers are stored in their own table and need to be queried separately. To query the phone number table use the URI stored in the SDK variable ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI. Use a WHERE conditional to get the phone numbers for the specified contact.
if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(
cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
// Do something with phones
}
pCur.close();
}
Perform a second query against the Android contacts SQLite database. The phone numbers are queried against the URI stored in ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI. The contact ID is stored in the phone table as ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID and the WHERE clause is used to limit the data returned.
I know how to retrieve contact data for specific contacts. However, i can't find a way to get all contacts plus some of their details in a single query. The following code gets all contacts having a postal address:
Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
StructuredPostal._ID,
StructuredPostal.LOOKUP_KEY,
StructuredPostal.DISPLAY_NAME,
StructuredPostal.STREET,
StructuredPostal.CITY
};
String sortOrder = StructuredPostal.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, sortOrder);
But what i need are all contacts, whether they have postal address or not. Is this doable using the ContatsContract API, or do i need to create custom outer join query? Any hints on how?
if You have a contact ID and you want to fetch the Postal Address then use this :
Uri postal_uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor postal_cursor = getContentResolver().query(postal_uri,null, ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "="+contactId.toString(), null,null);
while(postal_cursor.moveToNext())
{
String Strt = postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.STREET));
String Cty = postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.CITY));
String cntry = postal_cursor.getString(postal_cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.COUNTRY));
}
postal_cursor.close();
All contact information in Android 2.0 is stored in a single database table. So you can get all the information you need in a single query:
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, sortOrder);
The just iterate through the data and check Data.MIMETYPE column. For example, if this column has StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE value, then you can get StructuredPostal fields from this column.
I'm trying to add Data record to an already exist contact, I find the contact using phone lookup, i take the contact _id field, and add a new data with raw_contact_id set to the _id field.
on some contacts it just doesn't work, it match the data to different contact.
(I think it relates to contacts that are stored on the sim card)
Please advice, maybe you have a different way to add the data
code sample:
LinkedList<Long> lcv = new LinkedList<Long>();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
Cursor c = cr.query(uri, null, null, null, null);
try {
while (c.moveToNext()) {
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI,
c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.LOOKUP_KEY)));
Cursor c2 = getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, new String[] { Contacts._ID, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME },
null, null, null);
try {
if (c2.moveToNext()) {
Log.i(TAG, "found: " + c2.getLong(c2.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID)) + ", " + c2.getString(c2.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));
lcv.add(c2.getLong(c2.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID)));
} else {
Log.e(TAG, "failed to lookup");
}
} finally {
c2.close();
}
}
} finally {
c.close();
}
for (Long rawid : lcv) {
Cursor c3 = cr.query(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, null, RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] {rawid+""}, null);
if (c3.moveToNext()) {
Log.e(TAG,"aaaa: " + c3.getString(c3.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));
} else {
Log.e(TAG,"errrrror");
}
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawid + "");
cv.put(Data.MIMETYPE, MyMime.MIMETYPE);
cv.put(Data.DATA1, "mydata");
cv.put(Data.SYNC1, syncvalue);
Uri newIns = cr.insert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, cv);
Log.i(TAG, "insert: " + newIns + ", " + name);
}
The problem lies when you select the Contacts._ID and use this id to populate the data in the LinkedList lcv .
Cursor c2 = getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, new String[] { Contacts._ID, Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME },
null, null, null);
You actually need a RAW_CONTACT_ID here.
The DISPLAY_NAME can be fetched either from Contacts database/ContactsContract.Data' OR 'database/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName' OR 'database/RawContactsEntity. In the later 2 cases you will be able to fetch the DISPLAY_NAME using RAW_CONTACT_ID
Couple of Key pointers:
Contacts._ID = Data.CONTACT_ID
RawContacts._ID = Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID
RawContacts.CONTACT_ID = Contacts._ID
RawContactsEntity._ID = RawContacts._ID
Sounds confusing?? Let me try...
The Contacts database is divided into 3 tables contacts, raw contacts, and data.
Each table contains column (_ID) which is an auto incremented primary key.
data table contains all the contact info like phone number, mail id, address etc.
The raw contacts points to the actual contact created. Hence we use the raw contacts while adding a contact.
The user cannot add any data in the contacts table. The data in this table is populated internally due to aggregation of contacts.
The reason your logic worked for some of the contacts is: _ID for contacts, raw contacts remains same until there is any contact aggregation taking place. Lets say you add two contacts with same name abc. Here the _ID for raw contacts increments twice while _ID for contacts increments only once as these two contacts gets merged due to the aggregation of contacts
Refer this for more details.
The best approach to fetch the info in your case is by using ContactsContract.RawContactsEntity ( an outer join of the raw_contacts table with the data table)

I want to get all phone contacts from device in android.i have used the following code.but the problem is it takes more time to return the results.is there any solution?
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
int index=0;
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0)
{
phoneNames=new String[cur.getCount()];
phoneNumbers=new String[cur.getCount()];
while (cur.moveToNext())
{
String id = cur.getString(
cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
name = cur.getString(
cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0)
{
phoneNames[index]=name;
Cursor pCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (pCur.moveToNext())
{
phoneIndex++;
phoneNumbers[index] = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
index++;
}
pCur.close();
}
}
After reading the code i assume that what you want is a list of contacts with DISPLAY NAMES and their respective phone numbers.
If you are specifically looking for data related to phone numbers i suggest you query on
android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup and fetch the results using a single cursor.
The following are the fields that you would be interested in:
DISPLAY_NAME
HAS_PHONE_NUMBER
NUMBER
TYPE
e.g
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
resolver.query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,...
Further details please refer this
Please post your requirement if the assumptions are not true.
Some of quick checks:
Select only the required columns and not all in the first query.
Instead of using Integer.parseInt(cur.getString) use
cur.getInt()
Use PhoneLookup whenever dealing with phone numbers ( the number
field gives the raw phone number
instead of the value stored in
the database which can contain
-,),( appended with it)
Avoid using Cursor within a cursor. Use the API's which includes
joins already implemented in it like
RawContactsEntity, PhoneLookup.
Hope that helps.
Don't do complex database queries on the UI thread. What are you trying to do with the results? If you are displaying things in a list, use a CursorAdapter so that you only pull out what you need when you need it.
