Search Contact By Name
Solution 1
I did it by using the following code
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID },
ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER, null,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
This cursor
gives all the contacts that have any phone number and then i save the unique ID
in an ArrayList
like this
cursor.moveToFirst();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
contactsID.add(cursor.getString(2));
}
then on selecting the contact i find the contact numbers using this
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
.query(android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] {
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME },
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?",
new String[] { contactsID.get(position) }, null);
contactNumbers = new ArrayList<String>();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
contactNumbers.add(cursor.getString(0));
Log.d("number", cursor.getString(0));
}

Simple Solution for Searching Partial Display Name.
ContentResolver contentResolver = getCurrentActivity().getContentResolver();
String whereString = "display_name LIKE ?";
String[] whereParams = new String[]{ "%" + searchText + "%" };
Cursor contactCursor = contentResolver.query(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
whereString,
whereParams,
null );
while( contactCursor.moveToNext() ) {
int contactId = getIntFromCursor( contactCursor, ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID );
Log.d( "Contact ID", contactId)
}
contactCursor.close();
Solution 3
Try this:
Cursor contactLookupCursor =
getContentResolver().query(
Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode("Rohan")),
new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup.NUMBER},
null,
null,
null);
try {
while (contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()) {
contactName = contactLookupCursor.getString(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactNumber = contactLookupCursor.getString(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.NUMBER));
}
} finally {
contactLookupCursor.close();
}

It looks like you are trying to implement a screen that will allow the user to select a contact, and then select a phone number of that contact.
If that's the case, you can use a phone-picker intent instead:
Intent intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER);
This will open the native Contacts app, and allow the user to select a contact, and a phone number. You'll then receive the result in your app like this:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == REQUEST_SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
// Get the URI and query the content provider for the phone number
Uri contactUri = data.getData();
String[] projection = new String[]{CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection,
null, null, null);
// If the cursor returned is valid, get the phone number
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
int numberIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
String number = cursor.getString(numberIndex);
// Do something with the phone number
...
}
}

I am trying to create a Custom Contact app which displays only those contacts that have Contact Number. First of all, is there any automated way to do it? Suppose not, then I am trying to search a contact by its name e.g. Rohan.
Here is the code :-
Cursor photoCursor = getContentResolver().query( android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME }, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " = ?", new String[]{"Rohan"}, null); photoCursor.moveToFirst(); while (photoCursor.moveToNext()) { Log.d("Photo Thumbnail", "" + photoCursor.getString(1)); }
Although the contact exists, I am not getting any Log, if I remove Selection & Selection Args I see Rohan in the log. What am I doing wrong?
