Hi Ravi,
It is important to understand that when you read any Data row, the
corresponding Contact data is joined with it, so when you read an email
address or a phone number you also have access to DISPLAY_NAME and other
stuff like STARRED as well as the latest social status update and
availability in chat.
1. resolver.query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{Phone.CONTACT_ID,
Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE},...)
2. The best idea here is to use phone lookup, because it is aware of things
like +1(555)5554444 and 555-555-4444 being the same number:
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(phoneNumber))
resolver.query(uri, new String[]{PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME,...
3. This is just general Data.CONTENT_URI query. You can add a filter like
Data.MIMETYPE + " IN('" + Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "',... to your selection
or just read all data, iterate and pick out the items with the MIMETYPE you
want.
I hope this helps,
- Dmitri
