Get first and last name of a contact rather than single display name?

Question

I am currently working with the Android Contacts content provider and currently can access a contacts full display name without issue using the following code:

Answer 1

Take a look at ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName class. You have all the needed columns there, and you can probably do something like:

Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, other_query_params_for_filtering);

int indexGivenName = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME);
int indexFamilyName = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME);
int indexDisplayName = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME);

while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    String given = cursor.getString(indexGivenName);
    String family = cursor.getString(indexFamilyName);
    String display = cursor.getString(indexDisplayName);
}
