How to avoid duplicate contact name (data ) while loading contact info to listview?

Question

I am populating contact list details to list view successfully. My code:

  String order = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + \" ASC\";
         


        

Answer 1

String order = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC";
    Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null, order);
    String temp_name="";
    while (phones.moveToNext())
    {
        String name=phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
        if (name.equals(temp_name))
            continue;
        temp_name=name;
       //add name to your list or adapter here`enter code here` 
    }
    phones.close();
