I am working on Contacts Provider module in Android. The file NameDistance.java in this module uses the Jaro - Winkler algorithm for computing the distance between two normalized strings (passed as byte arrays). This part is used when Android needs to decide whether two or more raw contacts are to be merged. I have some doubts regarding this algorithm: 1. Is the algorithm case sensitive (i.e. is "MARTHA" and "martha" different or same?) 2. The file NameDistance.java has two constructors, and Android calls one of them based on a variable 'algorithm' (in ContactMatcher.java). I am unable to get how this variable is getting affected in the ContactMatcher.java file. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
