contactscontract

Is it possible using ContactsContract to get contacts with which the user talks often? I know I can use the CallLog ContentProvider and try to figure that out, but I wanted to know if there is already a way to do it. The number of times a contact has been contacted ContactsContract.Contacts.times_contacted static final String[] CONTACTS_SUMMARY_PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED, ContactsContract.Contacts.TIMES_CONTACTED, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTACT_PRESENCE, ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO

I need to support Android 2.1 and up. Google posted an example of how to use the ContactsContract, but some of it used things that are available starting with API level 11, so I need to improvise, but I'm stuck. So, far I have this: String firstName = contactProperties.get("firstName"); String lastName = contactProperties.get("lastName"); String phone = contactProperties.get("phone"); String email = contactProperties.get("email"); String company = contactProperties.get("company"); String postal = contactProperties.get("street") + ", " + contactProperties.get("city") + ", " + contactProperties

private Cursor getContacts() { // Run query Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI; String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME }; String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '" + (mShowInvisible ? "0" : "1") + "'"; String[] selectionArgs = null; String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC"; return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder); } What does COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC stand for? Collate is just fancy speak for sort (well sort of)

I have built the following method to obtain the id from the RawContacts table using the id obtained from the Contacts table.This method fails thrwoing an Exception. public int getRawContactId(int contactId) { String[] projection=new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID}; String selection=ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID+"=?"; String[] selectionArgs=new String[]{String.valueOf(contactId)}; Cursor c=context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,projection,selection,selectionArgs , null); int rawContactId=c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract

/** * Account type id */ public static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE = "com.test.app"; /** * Account name */ public static final String ACCOUNT_NAME = "Test"; public static void addContact(Context context, User contact) { ContentResolver resolver = context.getContentResolver(); resolver.delete(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " = ?", new String[] { AccountConstants.ACCOUNT_TYPE }); ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation .newInsert( addCallerIsSyncAdapterParameter( RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, true))

I am retrieving firstname and lastname from the android contact using the below code.DISPLAY_NAME gives back the name of the contact while firstname and lastname returns 1 and null respectively.The following is the code. ContentResolver cr = 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
