Android, I am trying to find what type of number (from contact) (mobile, home, work)
String tmp = txtPhoneName.getText().toString();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, "DISPLAY_NAME = '" + tmp + "'", null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
String contactId = Cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
Cursor phones = cr.query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
String number = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
number1 = number;
int type = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
switch (type) {
case Phone.TYPE_HOME:
// do something with the Home number here...
break;
case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:
// do something with the Mobile number here...
break;
case Phone.TYPE_WORK:
// do something with the Work number here...
break;
}
}
phones.close();
}
My problem is that when it is in switch status it doesn't check anything. It jumps to while (phones.moveToNext ()), where my mistake makes Phone.TYPE_HOME not int and my type cannot match it ... And the last question is why for some contacts it gets the mobile number and for others - at home (and in both cases the contacts have a home and mobile number)? I want to get a number starting with 07, and if there is no such number to get the number that is for the contact and then how to call that number ... thanks
Probably because you still have something else, try with int i = 0; and see in the debugger
Here I am going to show you how to get a home, mobile and work phone without any contacts. First of all you will get the uri of any contact_id and then use the method below to get all the phone numbers.
while (phone_crsr.moveToNext())
{
int phone_type = phone_crsr.getInt(phone_crsr.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
switch (phone_type)
{
case Phone.TYPE_HOME:
phone_home =phone_crsr.getString(phone_crsr.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Toast.makeText(this, "home"+phone_home, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:
phone_mob=phone_crsr.getString(phone_crsr.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Toast.makeText(this, "mob"+phone_mob, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
case Phone.TYPE_WORK:
phone_work=phone_crsr.getString(phone_crsr.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Toast.makeText(this, "work"+phone_work, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
break;
}
}
if you have Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM
you can try following instruction to get custom label.
phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL)))
