Discover contact number type

Question

I'm using this code to know a contact name, his phone number and his ID

String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
String id = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID));

I need to disover what's the number type(work, home, mobile). How can I do it?

Use Phone.TYPE

 int phoneType = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));

I think it's right. I don't know because I have 7 people, but it only update the number of 3. Do you know what it might be? – Guilherme Pressutto Aug 03 '13 at 20:24
