ContactsContract.Contacts

Kotlin |Java

public static class ContactsContract.Contacts
extends Object implements BaseColumns, ContactsContract.ContactNameColumns, ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns, ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns, ContactsContract.ContactsColumns

java.lang.Object
↳	android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts

Constants for the contacts table, which contains a record per aggregate of raw contacts representing the same person.

Operations

Insert

A Contact cannot be created explicitly. When a raw contact is inserted, the provider will first try to find a Contact representing the same person. If one is found, the raw contact's RawContacts.CONTACT_ID column gets the _ID of the aggregate Contact. If no match is found, the provider automatically inserts a new Contact and puts its _ID into the RawContacts.CONTACT_ID column of the newly inserted raw contact.

Update

Only certain columns of Contact are modifiable: ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.STARRED, ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.CUSTOM_RINGTONE, ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL. Changing any of these columns on the Contact also changes them on all constituent raw contacts.

Delete

Be careful with deleting Contacts! Deleting an aggregate contact deletes all constituent raw contacts. The corresponding sync adapters will notice the deletions of their respective raw contacts and remove them from their back end storage.

Query

If you need to read an individual contact, consider using CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI instead of CONTENT_URI.
If you need to look up a contact by the phone number, use PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, which is optimized for this purpose.
If you need to look up a contact by partial name, e.g. to produce filter-as-you-type suggestions, use the CONTENT_FILTER_URI URI.
If you need to look up a contact by some data element like email address, nickname, etc, use a query against the ContactsContract.Data table. The result will contain contact ID, name etc.

Columns

Contacts
long	`BaseColumns._ID`	read-only	Row ID. Consider using `ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY` instead.
String	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY`	read-only	An opaque value that contains hints on how to find the contact if its row id changed as a result of a sync or aggregation.
long	NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID	read-only	The ID of the raw contact that contributes the display name to the aggregate contact. During aggregation one of the constituent raw contacts is chosen using a heuristic: a longer name or a name with more diacritic marks or more upper case characters is chosen.
String	DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY	read-only	The display name for the contact. It is the display name contributed by the raw contact referred to by the NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID column.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_ID`	read-only	Reference to the row in the `ContactsContract.Data` table holding the photo. That row has the mime type `ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE`. The value of this field is computed automatically based on the `ContactsContract.DataColumns.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY` field of the data rows of that mime type.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_URI`	read-only	A URI that can be used to retrieve the contact's full-size photo. This column is the preferred method of retrieving the contact photo.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI`	read-only	A URI that can be used to retrieve the thumbnail of contact's photo. This column is the preferred method of retrieving the contact photo.
int	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP`	read-only	An indicator of whether this contact is supposed to be visible in the UI. "1" if the contact has at least one raw contact that belongs to a visible group; "0" otherwise.
int	`ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER`	read-only	An indicator of whether this contact has at least one phone number. "1" if there is at least one phone number, "0" otherwise.
int	`ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.STARRED`	read/write	An indicator for favorite contacts: '1' if favorite, '0' otherwise. When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is automatically computed: if any constituent raw contacts are starred, then this field is set to '1'. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
String	`ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.CUSTOM_RINGTONE`	read/write	A custom ringtone associated with a contact. Typically this is the URI returned by an activity launched with the `RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER` intent.
int	`ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns.SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL`	read/write	An indicator of whether calls from this contact should be forwarded directly to voice mail ('1') or not ('0'). When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is automatically computed: if all constituent raw contacts have SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL=1, then this field is set to '1'. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
int	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_PRESENCE`	read-only	Contact IM presence status. See `StatusUpdates` for individual status definitions. Automatically computed as the highest presence of all constituent raw contacts. The provider may choose not to store this value in persistent storage. The expectation is that presence status will be updated on a regular basis.
String	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS`	read-only	Contact's latest status update. Automatically computed as the latest of all constituent raw contacts' status updates.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP`	read-only	The absolute time in milliseconds when the latest status was inserted/updated.
String	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE`	read-only	The package containing resources for this status: label and icon.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_LABEL`	read-only	The resource ID of the label describing the source of contact status, e.g. "Google Talk". This resource is scoped by the `ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE`.
long	`ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_ICON`	read-only	The resource ID of the icon for the source of contact status. This resource is scoped by the `ContactsContract.ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE`.

 Bundle bundle = cursor.getExtras();
 if (bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES) &&
         bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS)) {
     String sections[] =
             bundle.getStringArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES);
     int counts[] = bundle.getIntArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS);
 }

Constant Value: "android.provider.extra.ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX"

Constant Value: "no_photo"

Fields

CONTENT_FILTER_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_FILTER_URI

The content:// style URI used for "type-to-filter" functionality on the CONTENT_URI URI. The filter string will be used to match various parts of the contact name. The filter argument should be passed as an additional path segment after this URI.

CONTENT_FREQUENT_URI

Added in API level 21
Deprecated in API level 29

public static final Uri CONTENT_FREQUENT_URI

This field was deprecated in API level 29.
Frequent contacts are no longer supported as of Android version Build.VERSION_CODES.Q. This URI always returns an empty cursor.

Caution: If you publish your app to the Google Play Store, this field doesn't sort results based on contacts frequency. For more information, see the Contacts Provider page.

The content:// style URI for showing a list of frequently contacted people.

CONTENT_GROUP_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_GROUP_URI

CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI

A content:// style URI for this table that should be used to create shortcuts or otherwise create long-term links to contacts. This URI should always be followed by a "/" and the contact's ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY. It can optionally also have a "/" and last known contact ID appended after that. This "complete" format is an important optimization and is highly recommended.

As long as the contact's row ID remains the same, this URI is equivalent to CONTENT_URI. If the contact's row ID changes as a result of a sync or aggregation, this URI will look up the contact using indirect information (sync IDs or constituent raw contacts).

Lookup key should be appended unencoded - it is stored in the encoded form, ready for use in a URI.

CONTENT_MULTI_VCARD_URI

Added in API level 21

public static final Uri CONTENT_MULTI_VCARD_URI

Base Uri for referencing multiple Contacts entry, created by appending ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY using Uri.withAppendedPath(Uri, String). The lookup keys have to be joined with the colon (":") separator, and the resulting string encoded. Provides OpenableColumns columns when queried, or returns the referenced contact formatted as a vCard when opened through ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor(Uri, String).

Usage example:

The following code snippet creates a multi-vcard URI that references all the contacts in a user's database.

 public Uri getAllContactsVcardUri() {
     Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
         new String[] {Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY}, null, null, null);
     if (cursor == null) {
         return null;
     }
     try {
         StringBuilder uriListBuilder = new StringBuilder();
         int index = 0;
         while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
             if (index != 0) uriListBuilder.append(':');
             uriListBuilder.append(cursor.getString(0));
             index++;
         }
         return Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_MULTI_VCARD_URI,
                 Uri.encode(uriListBuilder.toString()));
     } finally {
         cursor.close();
     }
 }

CONTENT_STREQUENT_FILTER_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_STREQUENT_FILTER_URI

The content:// style URI used for "type-to-filter" functionality on the CONTENT_STREQUENT_URI URI. The filter string will be used to match various parts of the contact name. The filter argument should be passed as an additional path segment after this URI.

Caution: If you publish your app to the Google Play Store, this field doesn't sort results based on contacts frequency. For more information, see the Contacts Provider page.

CONTENT_STREQUENT_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_STREQUENT_URI

The content:// style URI for this table joined with useful data from ContactsContract.Data, filtered to include only starred contacts. Frequent contacts are no longer included in the result as of Android version Build.VERSION_CODES.Q.

Caution: If you publish your app to the Google Play Store, this field doesn't sort results based on contacts frequency. For more information, see the Contacts Provider page.

CONTENT_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_URI

The content:// style URI for this table

CONTENT_VCARD_URI

Added in API level 5

public static final Uri CONTENT_VCARD_URI

Base Uri for referencing a single Contacts entry, created by appending ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY using Uri.withAppendedPath(Uri, String). Provides OpenableColumns columns when queried, or returns the referenced contact formatted as a vCard when opened through ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor(Uri, String).

ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_FILTER_URI

Added in API level 24

public static final Uri ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_FILTER_URI

It supports the similar semantics as CONTENT_FILTER_URI and returns the same columns. This URI requires ContactsContract.DIRECTORY_PARAM_KEY in parameters, otherwise it will throw IllegalArgumentException. The passed directory can belong either to the calling user or to a managed profile that is linked to it.

ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI

Added in API level 34

public static final Uri ENTERPRISE_CONTENT_URI

URI used for getting all contacts from both the calling user and the managed profile that is linked to it.

It supports the same semantics as CONTENT_URI and returns the same columns.
If the calling user has no managed profile, it behaves in the exact same way as CONTENT_URI.
If there is a managed profile linked to the calling user, it will return merged results from both.

Note: this query returns the calling user results before the managed profile results, and this order is not affected by the sorting parameter.

If a result is from the managed profile, the following changes are made to the data:

ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI and ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_URI will be rewritten to special URIs. Use ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor or its siblings to load pictures from them.
ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_ID and ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.PHOTO_FILE_ID will be set to null. Don't use them.
BaseColumns._ID and ContactsContract.ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY will be replaced with artificial values. These values will be consistent across multiple queries, but do not use them in places that do not explicitly say they accept them. If they are used in the selection param in ContentProvider.query(Uri, String, Bundle, CancellationSignal), the result is undefined.
In order to tell whether a contact is from the managed profile, use ContactsContract.Contacts.isEnterpriseContactId(long).
