Get contact by phone number on Android
I know how I can get all contacts in Android, and how to get their phone number.
I can't figure out how to get a contact by phone number ...
This is my current piece of code I wrote to check what phone numbers are available:
// Create a cursor
Cursor cursor = Base.contentResover().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
null, null);
if (cursor.moveToNext()) {
Log.d("CALLOG", cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Phone.NUMBER)));
}
The problem is I only get a few numbers returned while I expect to get all ... What am I doing wrong?
I don't think there is anything wrong with the snippet you pasted in. Try using a while loop to record all phone numbers.
Regarding your requirement to get a contact by phone number. Try using the following snippet
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
resolver.query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,PhoneLookup._ID...
Use _ID to identify the contact.
Why use PhoneLookup instead of a phone?
-
PhoneLookup is optimized in terms of its searches.
-
Phone numbers can be entered into the contacts database with fillers like "(", ")", "-", etc. PhoneLookup
helps you separate these fillers and only compare the phone number. -
Comparing the values from the phone will not produce any results.
-
It provides various other phone numbers related information. (HAS_PHONE_NUMBER, TIMES_CONTACTED, DISPLAY_NAME, etc.)
Hope it helps. Let me know if you need anything else.

You can use this method to get all your contacts with name,_id and no.
. You can call this method in your activity.
private void displayContacts() {
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.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?", new String[]{id}, null);
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
String phoneNo = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
System.out.println("name"+name+"ph no"+phoneNo);
Toast.makeText(this, "Name: " + name + ", Phone No: " + phoneNo, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
pCur.close();
}
}
}
}

Use this type of code:
public void logCallLog(String number)
{
long dialed;
String columns[]=new String[] {
CallLog.Calls._ID,
CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
CallLog.Calls.DATE,
CallLog.Calls.DURATION,
CallLog.Calls.TYPE};
String args[]=new String[1];
args[0]=number;
Cursor c;
c = this.managedQuery(Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls"),
columns, CallLog.Calls.NUMBER+"=?", args, "Calls._ID DESC"); //last record first
while (c.moveToNext())
{
dialed=c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DATE));
if(Me.DEBUG)
Log.v("CallLog", "Call to number: "+number+", registered at: "+new Date(dialed).toString());
}
}
