android showing both sim and phone contacts

Question

In my code I should display only phone contacts: I followed previous posts but I still display both phone and sim contacts. Here it is my code:

Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;

String columIndex = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME;
String columIndexId = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID;
String numIndex = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER;

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" ASC");

if(cursor!=null){
    while(cursor.moveToNext()) {
        ContactInfo ci = new ContactInfo();
        ci.setIdContact(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(columIndexId))));
        ci.setName(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(columIndex)));
        ci.setNumberTel(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(numIndex)));
        //if(!cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(columIndex)).equalsIgnoreCase(nome))
        listContact.add(ci);
    }
    cursor.close();

}

These are all ContactInfo object and they will be showed in a list (listContact, which is an ArrayList).

It is really important for me because my application works good only on phone contacts and not on sim contacts.

You can try to replace your Cursor with this to exclude contacts on sim:

import android.provider.ContactsContract.RawContacts;

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
    RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
    new String[] { RawContacts._ID, RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE },
    RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'com.android.contacts.sim' AND "
        + RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'com.anddroid.contacts.sim' AND " // HTC
        + RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'vnd.sec.contact.sim' AND "
        + RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'USIM Account' ",
        null,
        null);

I haven't tried this, modified from https://stackoverflow.com/a/4409453/262462

Note: on some phones you may need to exclude few other RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE like com.anddroid.contacts.sim and vnd.sec.contact.sim, see https://stackoverflow.com/a/13656077/262462

Hi, i tried, but as you said there are different Account_type for sim contacts, so you are not able to exclude them with the same code for all phones. anyway thanks for your answer! – moo Mar 08 '13 at 15:20
@moo I edited my answer to include multiple ACCOUNT_TYPEs. If you need to exclude even more of them, just add them using the same logic as here. – Kuitsi Mar 11 '13 at 12:17
Do you know these values for the phone contacts as well? I currently only know `vnd.sec.contact.phone` and `com.sonyericsson.localcontacts`... – prom85 May 28 '15 at 09:22
