I would like to get user contacts and then append some kind of regular expression and append them to a list view. I am currently able to get all the contacts via
Actually REGEXP with Calllog Content Provider works (means that regexp() function is defined for that content provider's Database https://sqlite.org/lang_expr.html#regexp)! But it is very slow: ~15 sec across ~1750 records.
String regexp = "([\\s\\S]{0,}" +
TextUtils.join("||[\\s\\S]{0,}", numbers) +
")";
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,
null,
CallLog.Calls.NUMBER + " REGEXP ?",
new String[]{regexp},
CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC"
);
