I have inserted few contacts in through the android emulator.

I wanted to fetch the names, number,emails,etc. for each contact.

I understood that for fetching contact number we need to refer to 

ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI

instead of 

ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI

My question is how do i link both the query results so that i can aggregate a single contact and its attributes together ? It seems that only ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME is common in both the results and the only attribute which can fetched in both the URI's without specifying in the query's projection.

Can anyone guide me ?

Thanks, Adithya.

  • can you tell me one thing ? If we can fetch all these in one query as it can be done in the third specified link then why do we have different URI's for each of the following : 1)ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone 2)ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email etc.. ? – Adithya Oct 08 '11 at 10:50

Use select from ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI and group results by LOOKUP_KEY. You'll receive a single cursor with phones, emails, etc., grouped by contact.
