Read all contact phone numbers in Android

Question

I use this code to extract all contact names and phone numbers:

String[] projection = new String[] { People.NAME, People.NUMBER }; Cursor c = ctx.getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, People.NAME + " ASC"); c.moveToFirst(); int nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(People.NAME); int numCol = c.getColumnIndex(People.NUMBER); int nContacts = c.getCount(); do { // Do something } while(c.moveToNext()); 

However, this will only result in a return of the primary number for each contact, but I also want to get secondary numbers. How can i do this?

Answer 1

You can read all the phone numbers associated with a contact as follows:

 Uri personUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, personId); Uri phonesUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(personUri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY); String[] proj = new String[] {Phones._ID, Phones.TYPE, Phones.NUMBER, Phones.LABEL} Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(phonesUri, proj, null, null, null); 

Please note: this example (for example, yours) uses the outdated contacts API. Starting with eclair, it has been replaced with the ContactsContract API.

Answer 2

The following code shows an easy way to read all phone numbers and names:

 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 phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); } phones.close(); 

NOTE. getContentResolver is a method from an Activity context.

Answer 3

This code shows how to get all phone numbers for each contact.

 ContentResolver cr = getActivity().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( ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); 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()) { int phoneType = pCur.getInt(pCur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE)); String phoneNumber = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); switch (phoneType) { case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE: Log.e(name + "(mobile number)", phoneNumber); break; case Phone.TYPE_HOME: Log.e(name + "(home number)", phoneNumber); break; case Phone.TYPE_WORK: Log.e(name + "(work number)", phoneNumber); break; case Phone.TYPE_OTHER: Log.e(name + "(other number)", phoneNumber); break; default: break; } } pCur.close(); } } } 

Answer 4

In case this helps, I have an example that uses the ContactsContract API to first find a contact by name, then iterates through the details that look for specific types of numbers:

Answer 5

 String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) { System.out.println("name : " + name + ", ID : " + id); // get the <span id="IL_AD4" class="IL_AD">phone // number</span> Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null); while (pCur.moveToNext()) { String phone = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); System.out.println("phone" + phone); } pCur.close(); 

Answer 6

You can get all the phone contacts using this:

  Cursor c = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE }, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'google' ", null, null);

Answer 7

Likewise, simply get your other numbers using other People links.

 People.TYPE_HOME People.TYPE_MOBILE People.TYPE_OTHER People.TYPE_WORK 

Answer 8

This one finally gave me the answer I was looking for. It allows you to get all the names and phone numbers of contacts on the phone.

 package com.test; import android.app.Activity; import android.content.ContentResolver; import android.database.Cursor; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.ContactsContract; public class TestContacts extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver(); Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); if (cur != null && cur.getCount() > 0) { while (cur.moveToNext()) { if (Integer.parseInt.equals(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)))) { String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); Cursor pCur = cr.query( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null); int i = 0; int pCount = pCur.getCount(); String[] phoneNum = new String[pCount]; String[] phoneType = new String[pCount]; while (pCur != null && pCur.moveToNext()) { phoneNum[i] = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); phoneType[i] = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE)); i++; } } } } } } 

Answer 9

I corrected my need

Manifest permissions

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/> <!-- Read Contacts from phone --> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.read_contacts" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.read_phone_state" /> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" /> 

Note. After granting permissions in the manifest, some mobile phones may deny, if you need to go to Settings → Applications → find an application, click on it and Enable the necessary permissions

  btn_readallcontacks.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View view) { Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); List<User> userList = new ArrayList<User>(); while (phones.moveToNext()) { User user = new User(); user.setNamee(phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME))); user.setPhone(phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER))); userList.add(user); Log.d(TAG, "Name : " + user.getNamee().toString()); Log.d(TAG, "Phone : " + user.getPhone().toString()); } phones.close(); } });

 Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" ASC"); while (phones.moveToNext()) { String name=phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME)); String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); } phones.close(); 

Answer 11

Downloading contacts in the background using CursorLoader:

  CursorLoader cursor = new CursorLoader(this, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); Cursor managedCursor = cursor.loadInBackground(); int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA1); int name = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME); int index = 0; while (managedCursor.moveToNext()) { String phNumber = managedCursor.getString(number); String phName = managedCursor.getString(name); } 

Answer 12

The accepted answer works, but no unique number is specified.

See this code, it returns unique numbers.

 public static void readContacts(Context context) { if (context == null) return; ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver(); if (contentResolver == null) return; String[] fieldListProjection = { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER, ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER }; Cursor phones = contentResolver .query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI , fieldListProjection, null, null, null); HashSet<String> normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound = new HashSet<>(); if (phones != null && phones.getCount() > 0) { while (phones.moveToNext()) { String normalizedNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER)); if (Integer.parseInt(phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex( ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) { if (normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound.add(normalizedNumber)) { String id = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID)); String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME)); String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); Log.d("test", " Print all values"); } } } phones.close(); } }
