Retrieve contacts faster from address book in android
I want to get all contact details like Phone Number, Display Name, Show Image and Email ID. I am using the method below and it works fine.
public void readContacts() {
Log.d("readcontacts", "::" + "true");
String phoneNumber = null;
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
// contactEntity = new ContactEntity();
final ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
String Contact_Id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
values.put(KEY_ID, Integer.parseInt(Contact_Id));
int hasPhoneNumber = Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)));
/*
* contactEntity .setContactFirstName(cur.getString(cur
* .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));
*/
if (Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
// System.out.println("name : " + name + ", ID : " + id);
// sb.append("\n Contact Name:" + name);
Cursor pCur = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?",
new String[] { Contact_Id }, null);
if (pCur.moveToFirst()) {
phoneNumber = pCur
.getString(pCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
// sb.append("\n Phone number:" + phone);
// System.out.println("phone" + phone);
}
pCur.close();
Cursor emailCur = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?",
new String[] { Contact_Id }, null);
if (emailCur.moveToFirst()) {
values.put(
KEY_CONTACTEMAIL,
(emailCur.getString(emailCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA))));
// emailType = emailCur .getString(emailCur
// .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
}
emailCur.close();
if (phoneNumber.length() >= 10) {
final Uri my_contact_Uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
String.valueOf(Contact_Id));
InputStream photo_stream = ContactsContract.Contacts
.openContactPhotoInputStream(
getContentResolver(),
my_contact_Uri);
if (photo_stream != null) {
BufferedInputStream buf = new BufferedInputStream(
photo_stream);
Bitmap my_btmp = BitmapFactory
.decodeStream(buf);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
my_btmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,
100, bos);
byte[] bArray = bos.toByteArray();
values.put(KEY_CONTACTIMAGE, bArray);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
// contactEntity.setBitmapContactImage(my_btmp);
values.put(
KEY_CONTACTNAME,
String.valueOf(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME))));
values.put(KEY_CONTACTNUMBER,
String.valueOf(phoneNumber));
databaseHelperAssets.open();
databaseHelperAssets.addcontact(values);
databaseHelperAssets.close();
}
}
// values.put(KEY_TIMESWAP,
// String.valueOf(taskEnitiy.getTimeswap()));
// int SDK_INT = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
/*
* if (SDK_INT >= 11) { contactEntity
* .setImgUri(cur.getString(cur
* .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.
* CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI))); }
*/
// alContactEntities.add(contactEntity);
}
}
}
But the problem is that it takes about 45 seconds to 1 minute to get 400 contact details. I can't keep my users waiting that long every time I need to get a contact. So can anyone help me to shorten the search time for a contact? and Yes, I use to store my contact in a database because I read my contacts for the first time only when I start the application. So I will find a better way to get it to avoid storing contacts in the database. Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone for your help and hint, but finally I got my answer. I used the below code to get the rendered image:
InputStream photo_stream = ContactsContract.Contacts
.openContactPhotoInputStream(
getContentResolver(),
my_contact_Uri);
if (photo_stream != null) {
BufferedInputStream buf = new BufferedInputStream(
photo_stream);
Bitmap my_btmp = BitmapFactory
.decodeStream(buf);
ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
my_btmp.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.PNG,
100, bos);
byte[] bArray = bos.toByteArray();
values.put(KEY_CONTACTIMAGE, bArray);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
but i changed it to:
try {
String phototjumb = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI));
if(phototjumb != null && !phototjumb.toString().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
contactEntity.setImageURI(phototjumb);
Log.d("photojumb", "::" + phototjumb);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
and what I am using to show that photojumb on my image is like:
imgContactImg.setImageURI(Uri.parse(contactEntity.getImageURI()));
and what he is. Now it hardly takes me 2 seconds to show contacts on the fly directly in the custom list.
Don't worry, I am posting my complete method for getting contact. Here it is::
@SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
public void readContacts() {
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
contactEntity = new ContactEntity();
String Contact_Id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
contactEntity
.setContactFirstName(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));
try {
String phototjumb = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI));
if(phototjumb != null && !phototjumb.toString().equalsIgnoreCase("")){
contactEntity.setImageURI(phototjumb);
Log.d("photojumb", "::" + phototjumb);
}
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
alContactEntities.add(contactEntity);
}
}
}
You have happy coding. :)
Please see below updated code to get contact number, display name, display image, email id, etc.
public ArrayList<ContactEntity> readContacts1() {
//Log.d("readcontacts", "::" + "true");
alContactEntities = new ArrayList<ContactEntity>();
String phoneNumber = null;
String tempPhoneNumber = null;

ContentResolver cr = activity.getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
contactEntity = new ContactEntity();
String Contact_Id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
if (Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
