How to obtain all details for a contact in Android

Question

Given a contact id, I can obtain various contact details (like name, phone, email-id, etc) by making different queries for a each of these fields.

But is there a method to obtain all the details associated with this contact id by making a single query

Answer 1

Had to change a bit of the tutorial on Content Providers since it referenced deprecated classes, this might help.

import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
import android.database.Cursor;

// Form an array specifying which columns to return, you can add more.
String[] projection = new String[] {
                         ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
                         ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone
                         ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email
                      };

Uri contacts =  ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI;
// id of the Contact to return.
long id = 3;

// Make the query. 
Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(contacts,
                     projection, // Which columns to return 
                     null,       // Which rows to return (all rows)
                                 // Selection arguments (with a given ID)
                     ContactsContract.Contacts._ID = "id", 
                                 // Put the results in ascending order by name
                     ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

The code snippet you have provided does not work ...

Since you have written

Uri contacts = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI;

Therefore it queries only "ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME" because it is in Contacts Package

But if you want Email and Phone, which are in CommanDataKinds package you have to do Uri contacts = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI; for retrieviong Email

and / or

Uri contacts ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI; for retrieving Phone ...

I am still having troubles getting other informations such as Company name , Title, notes to retrieve from Phonebook...
