[android-developers] Selected a contact phone number

2013-11-17 Thread Michael Banzon

Hi all,

I am trying to get a contact with a phone number and so far I haven't found
a reliable way to do this. I launch the standard activity for picking a
contact using this snippet:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CONTACT_NUMBER);

In my onActivityResult method I do this (from examples from SO etc.):

if (REQUEST_CONTACT_NUMBER == requestCode) {
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String id =
c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String hasPhone =
c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));

if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase(1)) {
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +  =  + id,
null, null);
if (phones.moveToFirst()) {
String number =
phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
this.numberEditText.setText(number);
return;
}
}
}
}
Toast.makeText(this, No number, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

The activity that launches show a lot more contacts than expected - every
person is shown once per phone number or email eg. - many of the contacts
is shown three to five times - and only one of these will result in an
actual phone number being returned. Some contacts even return the email
address!

If I launch the activity using this:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_CONTACT_NUMBER);

It seems that every contact is only shown once - and if chosen the contact
picker prompts to select the correct part (phone, email, etc.) - but no
matter what I select nothings actually gets returned - it always toasts
the text No number.

I just need a reliable and simple (to the user) way to pick a contact and
get the phone number into the app - any help or reference for more
information would be much appreciated ;-)

Dear Mohd,

Thank you for your reply.

It seems that the code you provided query to get the name and phone number
for all contacts. This is not what I want - I want to user to pick a
contact so I can retrieve the number of the contact.

As a side note: Please don't use catch with the Exception master class. And
e.printStackTrace() won't do much on (standard) Android ;-)
