Access mobile contacts

  • 772

I am making an app that accesses the mobile phone contacts and shows them, but I want to show them organized by type, be it Person, Work, Home, Work Fax, etc.

In this way I get them all and it works perfectly but the problem is that I have not found a way to obtain them for the aforementioned types.

Here I leave the code of what I have done, Thank you very much

TextView contactos_home = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.contactos_home);

    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query( ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, new String[] {ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null, null);
    while (cursor.moveToNext()){
        String contactos = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
        contactos_home.append(contactos);
        contactos_home.append("\n");
    }
java

  1. The third attribute allows filtering. More than one sort item can be added by separating the items with commas. Here is an example:

    ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
String[] PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID, 
        ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
        ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, 
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTACT_ID };

String filter = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA + " NOT LIKE ''";
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, filter, null, null);

    You should change the attributes in the example to your attributes.

  2. The last parameter is the ordering (sortOrder) based on that you can get the contacts, for example if you want an ordering by person name define ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME, it is important that the second parameter:

    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query( ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME);

    To obtain specific data you must review the tables and define based on what data you want to order your results:

    Answering my question.

    String [] datosMostrar = new String[] {ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE};
String seleccionClause = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + "='2' AND " + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "' AND " + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + " IS NOT NULL";
String orden = ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC";

    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
            ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
            datosMostrar,
            seleccionClause,
            null,
            orden);
    while (cursor.moveToNext()){
        contactos_home.append(" Tipo: " +cursor.getString(2));
        contactos_home.append("\n");
    }

    Here I leave the table with the constant of the main types of contacts

    TYPE_CUSTOM -- Constant Value: 0 (0x00000000)
TYPE_HOME   -- Constant Value: 1 (0x00000001)
TYPE_MOBILE -- Constant Value: 2 (0x00000002)
TYPE_WORK   -- Constant Value: 3 (0x00000003)
TYPE_FAX_WORK -- Constant Value: 4 (0x00000004)
TYPE_FAX_HOME  --Constant Value: 5 (0x00000005)

    To get a specific type you just have to change the comparison in the variable (selectClause) (ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + "=' 2 ')
