We are getting a set of telephone numbers(pure numbers with no formatting) from a remote web service. We need to display them in a list. But before that we have to query the contacts database and show "display name" of the contact instead of the phone number if there is a match.
Question : 1. When we add a contact in our phone book using the native Contacts application, the application does some sort of number formatting. For e.g.: 1234567890 could be stored as 123-456-7890. Is this formatting region/locale specific? 2. If i receive 1234567890 from the remote service will I have to apply same formatting before I query the database or will the ContentResolver for contacts take care of this and find appropriate match for me? 3. Is there a documentation that describes what formatting is applied when? Let me know if I was not clear or if i need to add anything else. Please help. Thanks.
