I believe the system group "my contacts" was used for that purpose.

Here is my code which works in 2.x and fails to keep the chaff out in 1.x, as the selection parameter is unsupported: final String[] proj = new String[] { Contacts.People._ID, Contacts.People.NAME }; final String selection = Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < 5 ? null : ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + "=1"; Cursor people = context.getContentResolver().query( Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, proj, selection, null, Contacts.People.DEFAULT_SORT_ORDER); if (people != null) { final int personIdColumn = people .getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.People._ID); final int nameColumn = people .getColumnIndexOrThrow( Contacts.People.NAME); while (people.moveToNext()) { if (Thread.interrupted()) { people.close(); outputList.clear(); throw new InterruptedException(); } long personId = people.getLong(personIdColumn); String name = people.getString(nameColumn); if (name != null) { outputList.add(new Contact(personId, name)); } } // clean up cursor people.close(); } -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
