Following is from Android Documentation You can acquire a lookup key from the contact itself, it is a column on the ContactsContract.Contacts table. Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI, lookupKey) Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, new String[]{Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME}, ...); try { c.moveToFirst(); String displayName = c.getString(0); } finally { c.close(); } but couldn't get it to work. I visited answers on Stackoverflow here and here but in vein. Any help will be highly appreciated. Amokrane Chentir The code in the documentation is related to how to

I am trying to create a rawcontact in android that has a specific contact id, so it is linked to other rawcontacts with the same contactid (not rawcontactid). The problem is I am unable to insert the Contact_ID into the ContentProviderOpertations.

For example, I create a new contact, and after that I want to delete it from its contact id, so I need to retrieve the contact id value after create a new contact. This is how I create new contacts: ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI).withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, tipoCuenta).withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT

I'm writing a custom Android contacts directory, I have implemented the ContactsContract.Directory provider and the search from within the phone app works fine. The problem I am facing now is that when I have an incoming/outgoing call the Android dialer does not query the custom directory I registered. Is it possible to partake in caller ID resolution via PhoneLookup or some other way? Also as a possible workaround I have tried implementing an outgoing/incoming call interceptor with BroadcastReceiver but I see no way of returning the contact data to the dialer. The only option I have found for

My goal is to only display contacts with phone number to user and let user select few contacts which I want to store locally. I have used various options in place of ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI in below method. But I am getting lot many of the contacts (many are junk with only email ids) displayed. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.contact_selector); ((Button)findViewById(R.id.btnphonecontactlist)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method
