[android-developers] Re: Hidden Contacts
I have the same problem, but I need a better solution. I'm doing a managed query on the contacts and am already filtering out entries that do not have a DISPLAY_NAME, but I still get all the suggested contacts. I need to deal with contacts that have a name but no phone number or email address. I guess the proper way would be to check in which group a contact is, but what's the quickest way to do that in a simple managed query? And what group is the official Contacts group? I could look at the source for the contacts app, but maybe there is an official solution that someone could post here real quick.

[android-developers] Re: Hidden Contacts
To answer my own post... I looked at the Contacts source code, and this is essentially what they do: The main My contacts group is called Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS. To query all members in that group, simply use this URI: Uri uri = Uri.parse(content://contacts/groups/system_id/ + Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS + /members); Works like a charm for me. I can imagine that at least part of this URL is contained in the Contacts.Groups.CONTENT_* strings, so it would be cleaner to use those. -Mike On Mar 18, 11:39 pm, EboMike ebom...@gmail.com wrote: I have the same problem, but I need a better solution.

[android-developers] Re: Hidden Contacts
Thanks Paul, you were right. It's funny, I don't use my gmail account
much, and I didn't recall conversing with those individuals in the
past. Thanks for clearing that up.

I found nameless contacts, contacts with names but no numbers. When I
returned their email address, I found emails to sale-
number@craigslist.org, as well as one for a Dana Thompson and a TJ
Brown.
These are people I don't know, and never new existed. And oddly
enough, the Dana Thompson individual is some CPA in Maryland
(see:http://danathompsoncpa.com/Contact_Us.htm).
Now, I got my phone new, in a sealed box, from a just opened box
shipped to the T-Mobile store where I picked it up. I'm wondering if
they are part of the image used to make the phone? It's very odd.
Here's the code I used to return the contacts:
final Uri data = Uri.parse(content://contacts/people/);
final Cursor c = this.managedQuery(data, null, null, null,
null);
String[] from = new String[] {People.NUMBER, People.NAME};
int[] to = new int[] {R.id.itemNumber, R.id.itemName};
SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,
R.layout.listitemlayout, c, from, to);
ListView lv = (ListView)this.findViewById
(R.id.contactListView);
lv.setAdapter(adapter);
Anyone else getting weird results?

the contacts API was returning all contacts and the activity needed to
do the filtering.

I see this too, specifically when Any Cut populates a view of contacts
for you to create direct call shortcuts to, it includes duplicates of
many contacts, duplicates which don't appear in my regular Contacts
list in the dialer.
