The details of the contacts not displayed properly by using this code. I am trying to access the Name, Number and Email ID by using the Intent. Name and Number only displayed when I click the button but not the Email.No error in the project.It's working good.My xml file have only one Button.
public class GetDetails extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
private static final int CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT = 1001;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
Button Btn = (Button)findViewById(R.id.getContacts);
Btn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT);
}
});
}
protected void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
switch (reqCode) {
case CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT:
Cursor cursor = null;
Cursor emails = null;
String number = "";
String emailID = "";
try {
Uri result = data.getData();
//get the id from the uri
String id = result.getLastPathSegment();
//query
cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID + " = ? " , new String[] {id}, null);
int numberIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DATA);
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
number = cursor.getString(numberIdx);
} else {
}
emails = getContentResolver().query(Email.CONTENT_URI,null,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id, null, null);
int num = emails.getColumnIndex(Email.DATA);
if(emails.moveToFirst()) {
emailID = emails.getString(num);
} else {
}
} catch (Exception e) {
//failed
} finally {
if (cursor!=null) {
cursor.close();
}
}
}
}
}
}
How to solve this situation ?
Replace this line:
emails = getContentResolver().query(Email.CONTENT_URI,null,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id, null, null);
with this line :
emails = getContentResolver().query(Email.CONTENT_URI,null,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[]{id}, null);
I am trying to get a contacts name and phone number after a user has picked a contact from the Contact Picker. I am attempting to make my application work for SDK v3 and up so I created an abstract class that would call only the API that I needed. I already have the abstract class working (it chooses the right API) and I also have the API for SDK v3,4 working. I am having problems getting the newer API that uses ContactsContract to work.
I can get a contacts name, but the number it retrieves is always the number for the contact ID BEFORE it! Example: I have 2 contacts "John Doe" and "Jane Doe" with respective numbers "555-555-555" and "777-777-7777" added in the contacts. John Doe is ID=1 and Jane Doe is ID=2. If I attempt to get Jane Doe's number, I get John's, 555-555-5555. If I attempt to get John's, I don't get anything. The check for if (cursor.moveToNext()) fails.
Can you please help me fix this? It is driving me crazy. I have looked at many many examples and always get the same error.

You need to adapt this to work with your app
I dint get that line case CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT...the code i used above using this
int PICK_CONTACT;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
b=(Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
et=(EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
b.setOnClickListener(this);
//et.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
switch(v.getId())
{
case R.id.button1:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
break;
// case R.id.editText1:
// break;
}
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
These code helps u ,I think the PICK activity only returns the ID of the contact picked. From that you could query the Contact provider and if there are multiple phone numbers, prompt the user to select one of them.
U can use this also
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
switch (requestCode) {
case CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT:
final EditText phoneInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phoneNumberInput);

cursor = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] { id }, null);
phoneIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DATA);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
while (cursor.isAfterLast() == false) {
phoneNumber = cursor.getString(phoneIdx);
allNumbers.add(phoneNumber);
cursor.moveToNext();
}
} else {
//no results actions
}
} catch (Exception e) {
//error actions
} finally {
if (cursor != null) {
cursor.close();
}
final CharSequence[] items = allNumbers.toArray(new String[allNumbers.size()]);
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(your_class.this);
builder.setTitle("Choose a number");
builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
String selectedNumber = items[item].toString();
selectedNumber = selectedNumber.replace("-", "");
phoneInput.setText(selectedNumber);
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
if(allNumbers.size() > 1) {
alert.show();
} else {
String selectedNumber = phoneNumber.toString();
selectedNumber = selectedNumber.replace("-", "");
phoneInput.setText(selectedNumber);
}
if (phoneNumber.length() == 0) {
//no numbers found actions
}
}
break;
}
} else {
//activity result error actions
}
}
Kind note for beginners, Don't forget to include the following permission or else it wont work
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
switch (reqCode) {
case (REQUEST_CODE_email):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String contactId = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String hasNumber = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
String num = "";
if (Integer.valueOf(hasNumber) == 1) {
Cursor numbers = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (numbers.moveToNext()) {
num = numbers.getString(numbers.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
//Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Number=" + num, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
//asdasdasdsa
if(getEmail(num).isEmpty()){
Toast.makeText(this, "Email Not Found In That Contact Try Another", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
else {
edt_email_contact.setText("" + getEmail(num));
} }
}
}
break;
}
case (REQUEST_CODE_number):
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String contactId = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String hasNumber = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
String num = "";

anyone show me the way how to get selected contacts(using checkbox) into an array
See my answer to the post
public static void getContactNumbers(Context context) {
String contactNumber = null;
int contactNumberType = Phone.TYPE_MOBILE;
String nameOfContact = null;
if (ApplicationConstants.phoneContacts.size() <= 0) {
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
String id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(BaseColumns._ID));
nameOfContact = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor phones = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?", new String[] { id },
null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
contactNumber = phones.getString(phones

contactNumberType = phones.getInt(phones
.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
Log.i(TAG, "...Contact Name ...." + nameOfContact
+ "...contact Number..." + contactNumber);
}
phones.close();
}
}
}// end of contact name cursor
cur.close();
}
}

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");

I'm making an Android app, and need to call the phone's contact list. I need to call the contacts list function, pick a contact, then return to my app with the contact's name. Here's the code I got on the internet, but it doesnt work.
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Contacts.People;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ListAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class Contacts extends ListActivity {
private ListAdapter mAdapter;
public TextView pbContact;
public static String PBCONTACT;
public static final int ACTIVITY_EDIT=1;
private static final int ACTIVITY_CREATE=0;
// Called when the activity is first created.
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
super.onCreate(icicle);
Cursor C = getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
startManagingCursor(C);
String[] columns = new String[] {People.NAME};
int[] names = new int[] {R.id.row_entry};
mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.mycontacts, C, columns, names);
setListAdapter(mAdapter);
} // end onCreate()
// Called when contact is pressed
#Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
Cursor C = (Cursor) mAdapter.getItem(position);
PBCONTACT = C.getString(C.getColumnIndex(People.NAME));
// RHS 05/06
//pbContact = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myContact);
//pbContact.setText(new StringBuilder().append("b"));
Intent i = new Intent(this, NoteEdit.class);
startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_CREATE);
}
}
I'm not 100% sure what your sample code is supposed to do, but the following snippet should help you 'call the contacts list function, pick a contact, then return to [your] app with the contact's name'.
There are three steps to this process.
1. Permissions
Add a permission to read contacts data to your application manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
2. Calling the Contact Picker
Within your Activity, create an Intent that asks the system to find an Activity that can perform a PICK action from the items in the Contacts URI.
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
Call startActivityForResult, passing in this Intent (and a request code integer, PICK_CONTACT in this example). This will cause Android to launch an Activity that's registered to support ACTION_PICK on the People.CONTENT_URI, then return to this Activity when the selection is made (or canceled).
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
3. Listening for the Result
Also in your Activity, override the onActivityResult method to listen for the return from the 'select a contact' Activity you launched in step 2. You should check that the returned request code matches the value you're expecting, and that the result code is RESULT_OK.
You can get the URI of the selected contact by calling getData() on the data Intent parameter. To get the name of the selected contact you need to use that URI to create a new query and extract the name from the returned cursor.
#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 = getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
// TODO Whatever you want to do with the selected contact name.
}
}
break;
}
}
Full source code: tutorials-android.blogspot.com (how to call android contacts list).
I do it this way for Android 2.2 Froyo release:
basically use eclipse to create a class like:
public class SomePickContactName extends Activity
then insert this code. Remember to add the private class variables and CONSTANTS referenced in my version of the code:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
Intent intentContact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intentContact, PICK_CONTACT);
}//onCreate
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT)
{
getContactInfo(intent);
// Your class variables now have the data, so do something with it.
}
}//onActivityResult
protected void getContactInfo(Intent intent)
{
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(intent.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));
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())
{
phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
phones.close();
}

Looking around for an API Level 5 solution using ContactsContract API you could slightly modify the code above with the following:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
And then in onActivityResult use the column name:
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
Here is the code snippet for get contact:
package com.contact;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ContentResolver;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;

import android.widget.TextView;
public class GetContactDemoActivity extends Activity implements OnClickListener {
private Button btn = null;
private TextView txt = null;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
txt = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
btn.setOnClickListener(this);
}
#Override
public void onClick(View arg0) {
if (arg0 == btn) {
try {
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, 1);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("Error in intent : ", e.toString());
}
}
}
#Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);
try {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor cur = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
ContentResolver contect_resolver = getContentResolver();
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = "";
String no = "";
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));
no = phoneCur.getString(phoneCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
Log.e("Phone no & name :***: ", name + " : " + no);
txt.append(name + " : " + no + "\n");
id = null;
name = null;
no = null;
phoneCur = null;
}
contect_resolver = null;
cur = null;
// populateContacts();
}
} catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("IllegalArgumentException :: ", e.toString());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("Error :: ", e.toString());
}
}
}
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 Number=phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
{
if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT && intent != null) //here check whether intent is null R not
{
}
}
because without selecting any contact it will give an exception. so better to check this condition.
The complete code is given below

Be careful while working with the android contact list.
Reading the contact list in the above methods works on most android devices except HTC One and Sony Xperia. It wasted my six weeks trying to figure out what is wrong!
Most tutorials available online are almost similar - first read "ALL" contacts, then show in Listview with ArrayAdapter. This is not memory efficient solution. Instead of looking for solutions on other websites first, have a look at developer.android.com. If any solution is not available on developer.android.com you should look somewhere else.
The solution is to use CursorAdapter instead of ArrayAdapter for retrieving the contact list. Using ArrayAdapter would work on most devices, but it's not efficient. The CursorAdapter retrieves only a portion of the contact list at run time while the ListView is being scrolled.
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
...
// Gets the ListView from the View list of the parent activity
mContactsList =
(ListView) getActivity().findViewById(R.layout.contact_list_view);
// Gets a CursorAdapter
mCursorAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
getActivity(),
R.layout.contact_list_item,
null,
FROM_COLUMNS, TO_IDS,
0);
// Sets the adapter for the ListView
mContactsList.setAdapter(mCursorAdapter);
}
Retrieving a List of Contacts: Retrieving a List of Contacts
To my surprise, you do not need users-permission CONTACT_READ to read the names and some basic information (Is the contact starred, what was the last calling time).
However, you do need permission to read the details of the contact like the phone number.
I am using this method to read Contacts
public static List<ContactItem> readPhoneContacts(Context context) {
List<ContactItem> contactItems = new ArrayList<ContactItem>();
try {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, "upper("+ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + ") ASC");
/*context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID+ " = ?",
new String[] { id },
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" ASC");*/
Integer contactsCount = cursor.getCount(); // get how many contacts you have in your contacts list
if (contactsCount > 0) {
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String contactName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
if (Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
ContactItem contactItem = new ContactItem();
contactItem.setContactName(contactName);
//the below cursor will give you details for multiple contacts
Cursor pCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
// continue till this cursor reaches to all phone numbers which are associated with a contact in the contact list
while (pCursor.moveToNext()) {
int phoneType = pCursor.getInt(pCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));
//String isStarred = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.STARRED));
String phoneNo = pCursor.getString(pCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
//you will get all phone numbers according to it's type as below switch case.
//Logs.e will print the phone number along with the name in DDMS. you can use these details where ever you want.
switch (phoneType) {
case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:
contactItem.setContactNumberMobile(phoneNo);
Log.e(contactName + ": TYPE_MOBILE", " " + phoneNo);
break;
case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME:
contactItem.setContactNumberMobile(phoneNo);
Log.e(contactName + ": TYPE_HOME", " " + phoneNo);
break;
case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK:
contactItem.setContactNumberMobile(phoneNo);
Log.e(contactName + ": TYPE_WORK", " " + phoneNo);
break;
case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK_MOBILE:
contactItem.setContactNumberMobile(phoneNo);
Log.e(contactName + ": TYPE_WORK_MOBILE", " " + phoneNo);
break;
case Phone.TYPE_OTHER:
contactItem.setContactNumberMobile(phoneNo);
Log.e(contactName + ": TYPE_OTHER", " " + phoneNo);
break;
default:
break;
}
}
contactItem.setSelectedAddress(getContactPostalAddress(pCursor));
pCursor.close();
contactItems.add(contactItem);
}
}
cursor.close();
}
} catch (Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return contactItems;
}//loadContacts
I have a code to save the contact in your database by shared preference
here is my code
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
EditText nameInput,phoneInput;
TextView LargeText;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main22);
nameInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.nameInput);
phoneInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phoneInput);
LargeText = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView2);
}
public void saveInfo (View view){
SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("nameInfo" , Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor= sharedPref.edit();
editor.putString("name", nameInput.getText().toString());
editor.putString("phone", phoneInput.getText().toString());
editor.apply();
Toast.makeText(this, "Saved", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
public void displayData(View view){
SharedPreferences sharedPref = getSharedPreferences("nameInfo" , Context.MODE_PRIVATE);
String name = sharedPref.getString("name", "");
String ph = sharedPref.getString ("phone","");
LargeText.setText(name + " " + ph);
}
}
-> Add a permission to read contacts data to your application manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
-> Use Intent.Action_Pick in your Activity like below
Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, RESULT_PICK_CONTACT);
-> Then Override the onActivityResult()
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// check whether the result is ok
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// Check for the request code, we might be usign multiple startActivityForReslut
switch (requestCode) {
case RESULT_PICK_CONTACT:
Cursor cursor = null;
try {
String phoneNo = null ;
String name = null;
Uri uri = data.getData();
cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
int phoneIndex =cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
phoneNo = cursor.getString(phoneIndex);
textView2.setText(phoneNo);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
break;
}
} else {
Log.e("MainActivity", "Failed to pick contact");
}
}
This will work check it out
I use the code provided by #Colin MacKenzie - III. Thanks a lot!
For someone who are looking for a replacement of 'deprecated' managedQuery:
1st, assuming using v4 support lib:
import android.support.v4.app.LoaderManager;
import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader;
import android.support.v4.content.Loader;
2nd:
your_(activity)_class implements LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks<Cursor>
3rd,
// temporarily store the 'data.getData()' from onActivityResult
private Uri tmp_url;
4th, override callbacks:
#Override
public Loader<Cursor> onCreateLoader(int id, Bundle args) {
// create the loader here!
CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(this, tmp_url, null, null, null, null);
return cursorLoader;
}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor cursor) {
getContactInfo(cursor); // here it is!
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
}
5th:
public void initLoader(Uri data){
// will be used in onCreateLoader callback
this.tmp_url = data;
// 'this' is an Activity instance, implementing those callbacks
this.getSupportLoaderManager().initLoader(0, null, this);
}
6th, the code above, except that I change the signature param from Intent to Cursor:
protected void getContactInfo(Cursor cursor)
{
// Cursor cursor = managedQuery(intent.getData(), null, null, null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext())
{
// same above ...
}
7th, call initLoader:
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (PICK_CONTACT == requestCode) {
this.initLoader(data.getData(), this);
}
}
8th, don't forget this piece of code
Intent intentContact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
this.act.startActivityForResult(intentContact, PICK_CONTACT);
