> Android: Automatically created (nonsense) contacts are retrieved too
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-11038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11038
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Plugin Contacts
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Android 6 Marshmallow
> Reporter: Tobias Mücksch
> Assignee: Alexander Sorokin
> Labels: triaged
>
> For some reason, Android (or Gmail) creates a contact for each email a user
> receives (via gmail). *By default those Contacts are hidden in the systems
> contacts-app.*
> The problem is; the cordova-plugin-contacts retrieves those useless contacts
> together with the ordinary contacts that are actually of interest; *even if
> they aren't real contacts and in most cases of literally +no interest+*.
> Additionally this is different behaviour from the iOS version.
> You can spot these "ghost contacts" when you open your contacts app, click on
> the settings (top right corner), and then on "Contacts to display" ->
> "Customize" -> Google -> "My Contacts".
> In my opinion there should be at least an option to filter out specific
> contacts sources. It's very annoying to have plenty of *+nonsense+* contacts
> (around 50 in my case). For example I have some contacts in the list for
> email addresses I have received invoices from or even newsletters.
> Side note: I'm not 100% percent sure where these contacts come from. Either
> android or the gmail web app.
> *I guess filtering by this attribute should do the trick:*
> [ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP|http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html]
> ??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.??
> Here is someone who describes a similar issue (not development related): [How
> to filter my google
> contacts?|http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/43198/how-to-filter-my-google-contacts]
