How to call Android contacts list?
http://www.higherpass.com/Android/Tutorials/Working-With-Android-Contacts/
I can display the list of contacts on phone but
-
I want to add a checkbox at each contact so that user can select multiple contacts and by clicking the done button he should be able to get all the contacts he selected
Also I want to get the name of contact as well as the phone number of contact , see my code :
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) { Uri contactData = data.getData(); Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null); if (c.moveToFirst()) { String name = c.getString(c .getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); String number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)); Log.v("name", name +" "+number); // TODO Whatever you want to do with the selected contact // name. } }
on log cat it shows output as :
01-09 12:46:41.688: V/name(699): Xyz 1
that is the name of contact is xyz and it has atleast 1 phone number associated with it.Please help me on how can i get the number associated with that contact.
EDIT :
if i use this(String number = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NUMBER));
) line in code the I get following exception :
