The contract between the contacts provider and applications. Contains definitions for the supported URIs and columns. These APIs supersede Contacts.

Overview

ContactsContract defines an extensible database of contact-related information. Contact information is stored in a three-tier data model:

  • A row in the Data table can store any kind of personal data, such as a phone number or email addresses. The set of data kinds that can be stored in this table is open-ended. There is a predefined set of common kinds, but any application can add its own data kinds.
  • A row in the RawContacts table represents a set of data describing a person and associated with a single account (for example, one of the user's Gmail accounts).
  • A row in the Contacts table represents an aggregate of one or more RawContacts presumably describing the same person. When data in or associated with the RawContacts table is changed, the affected aggregate contacts are updated as necessary.

Other tables include:

  • Groups, which contains information about raw contact groups such as Gmail contact groups. The current API does not support the notion of groups spanning multiple accounts.
  • StatusUpdates, which contains social status updates including IM availability.
  • AggregationExceptions, which is used for manual aggregation and disaggregation of raw contacts
  • Settings, which contains visibility and sync settings for accounts and groups.
  • SyncState, which contains free-form data maintained on behalf of sync adapters
  • PhoneLookup, which is used for quick caller-ID lookup

API for obtaining a pre-authorized version of a URI that normally requires special permission (beyond READ_CONTACTS) to read. The caller obtaining the pre-authorized URI must already have the necessary permissions to access the URI; otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown. Unlike Context.grantUriPermission, this can be used to grant permissions that aren't explicitly required for the URI inside AndroidManifest.xml. For example, permissions that are only required when reading URIs that refer to the user's profile.

The authorized URI returned in the bundle contains an expiring token that allows the caller to execute the query without having the special permissions that would normally be required. The token expires in five minutes.

This API does not access disk, and should be safe to invoke from the UI thread.

Example usage:

Uri profileUri = ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_VCARD_URI;
Bundle uriBundle = new Bundle();
uriBundle.putParcelable(ContactsContract.Authorization.KEY_URI_TO_AUTHORIZE, uri);
Bundle authResponse = getContext().getContentResolver().call(
        ContactsContract.AUTHORITY_URI,
        ContactsContract.Authorization.AUTHORIZATION_METHOD,
        null, // String arg, not used.
        uriBundle);
if (authResponse != null) {
    Uri preauthorizedProfileUri = (Uri) authResponse.getParcelable(
            ContactsContract.Authorization.KEY_AUTHORIZED_URI);
    // This pre-authorized URI can be queried by a caller without READ_PROFILE
    // permission.

A Directory represents a contacts corpus, e.g. Local contacts, Google Apps Global Address List or Corporate Global Address List.

A Directory is implemented as a content provider with its unique authority and the same API as the main Contacts Provider. However, there is no expectation that every directory provider will implement this Contract in its entirety. If a directory provider does not have an implementation for a specific request, it should throw an UnsupportedOperationException.

The most important use case for Directories is search. A Directory provider is expected to support at least Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI. If a Directory provider wants to participate in email and phone lookup functionalities, it should also implement CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_FILTER_URI and CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI.

A directory provider should return NULL for every projection field it does not recognize, rather than throwing an exception. This way it will not be broken if ContactsContract is extended with new fields in the future.

The client interacts with a directory via Contacts Provider by supplying an optional directory= query parameter.

When the Contacts Provider receives the request, it transforms the URI and forwards the request to the corresponding directory content provider. The URI is transformed in the following fashion:

Clients should send directory requests to Contacts Provider and let it forward them to the respective providers rather than constructing directory provider URIs by themselves. This level of indirection allows Contacts Provider to implement additional system-level features and optimizations. Access to Contacts Provider is protected by the READ_CONTACTS permission, but access to the directory provider is protected by BIND_DIRECTORY_SEARCH. This permission was introduced at the API level 17, for previous platform versions the provider should perform the following check to make sure the call is coming from the ContactsProvider:

private boolean isCallerAllowed() {
  PackageManager pm = getContext().getPackageManager();
  for (String packageName: pm.getPackagesForUid(Binder.getCallingUid())) {
    if (packageName.equals("com.android.providers.contacts")) {
      return true;
    }
  }
  return false;
}

The Directory table is read-only and is maintained by the Contacts Provider automatically.

It always has at least these two rows:

  • The local directory. It has Directory._ID = Directory.DEFAULT. This directory can be used to access locally stored contacts. The same can be achieved by omitting the directory= parameter altogether.
  • The local invisible contacts. The corresponding directory ID is Directory.LOCAL_INVISIBLE.

Custom Directories are discovered by the Contacts Provider following this procedure:

  • It finds all installed content providers with meta data identifying them as directory providers in AndroidManifest.xml: <meta-data android:name="android.content.ContactDirectory" android:value="true" />

    This tag should be placed inside the corresponding content provider declaration.

  • Then Contacts Provider sends a Directory.CONTENT_URI query to each of the directory authorities. A directory provider must implement this query and return a list of directories. Each directory returned by the provider must have a unique combination for the ACCOUNT_NAME and ACCOUNT_TYPE columns (nulls are allowed). Since directory IDs are assigned automatically, the _ID field will not be part of the query projection.
  • Contacts Provider compiles directory lists received from all directory providers into one, assigns each individual directory a globally unique ID and stores all directory records in the Directory table.

Contacts Provider automatically interrogates newly installed or replaced packages. Thus simply installing a package containing a directory provider is sufficient to have that provider registered. A package supplying a directory provider does not have to contain launchable activities.

Every row in the Directory table is automatically associated with the corresponding package (apk). If the package is later uninstalled, all corresponding directory rows are automatically removed from the Contacts Provider.

When the list of directories handled by a directory provider changes (for instance when the user adds a new Directory account), the directory provider should call notifyDirectoryChange to notify the Contacts Provider of the change. In response, the Contacts Provider will requery the directory provider to obtain the new list of directories.

A directory row can be optionally associated with an existing account (see AccountManager). If the account is later removed, the corresponding directory rows are automatically removed from the Contacts Provider.

Constants for the contacts table, which contains a record per aggregate of raw contacts representing the same person.

Operations

Insert
A Contact cannot be created explicitly. When a raw contact is inserted, the provider will first try to find a Contact representing the same person. If one is found, the raw contact's RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID column gets the _ID of the aggregate Contact. If no match is found, the provider automatically inserts a new Contact and puts its _ID into the RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID column of the newly inserted raw contact.
Update
Only certain columns of Contact are modifiable: ContactOptionsColumns.TIMES_CONTACTED, ContactOptionsColumns.LAST_TIME_CONTACTED, ContactOptionsColumns.STARRED, ContactOptionsColumns.CUSTOM_RINGTONE, ContactOptionsColumns.SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL. Changing any of these columns on the Contact also changes them on all constituent raw contacts.
Delete
Be careful with deleting Contacts! Deleting an aggregate contact deletes all constituent raw contacts. The corresponding sync adapters will notice the deletions of their respective raw contacts and remove them from their back end storage.
Query
  • If you need to read an individual contact, consider using CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI instead of CONTENT_URI.
  • If you need to look up a contact by the phone number, use PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, which is optimized for this purpose.
  • If you need to look up a contact by partial name, e.g. to produce filter-as-you-type suggestions, use the CONTENT_FILTER_URI URI.
  • If you need to look up a contact by some data element like email address, nickname, etc, use a query against the Data table. The result will contain contact ID, name etc.

Columns

Contacts
long BaseColumns._ID read-only Row ID. Consider using ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY instead.
String ContactsColumns.LOOKUP_KEY read-only An opaque value that contains hints on how to find the contact if its row id changed as a result of a sync or aggregation.
long NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID read-only The ID of the raw contact that contributes the display name to the aggregate contact. During aggregation one of the constituent raw contacts is chosen using a heuristic: a longer name or a name with more diacritic marks or more upper case characters is chosen.
String DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY read-only The display name for the contact. It is the display name contributed by the raw contact referred to by the NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID column.
long ContactsColumns.PHOTO_ID read-only Reference to the row in the Data table holding the photo. That row has the mime type Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE. The value of this field is computed automatically based on the DataColumns.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY field of the data rows of that mime type.
long ContactsColumns.PHOTO_URI read-only A URI that can be used to retrieve the contact's full-size photo. This column is the preferred method of retrieving the contact photo.
long ContactsColumns.PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI read-only A URI that can be used to retrieve the thumbnail of contact's photo. This column is the preferred method of retrieving the contact photo.
int ContactsColumns.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP read-only An indicator of whether this contact is supposed to be visible in the UI. "1" if the contact has at least one raw contact that belongs to a visible group; "0" otherwise.
int ContactsColumns.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER read-only An indicator of whether this contact has at least one phone number. "1" if there is at least one phone number, "0" otherwise.
int ContactOptionsColumns.TIMES_CONTACTED read/write The number of times the contact has been contacted. See markAsContacted. When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is computed automatically as the maximum number of times contacted among all constituent raw contacts. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
long ContactOptionsColumns.LAST_TIME_CONTACTED read/write The timestamp of the last time the contact was contacted. See markAsContacted. Setting this field also automatically increments ContactOptionsColumns.TIMES_CONTACTED. When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is computed automatically as the latest time contacted of all constituent raw contacts. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
int ContactOptionsColumns.STARRED read/write An indicator for favorite contacts: '1' if favorite, '0' otherwise. When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is automatically computed: if any constituent raw contacts are starred, then this field is set to '1'. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
String ContactOptionsColumns.CUSTOM_RINGTONE read/write A custom ringtone associated with a contact. Typically this is the URI returned by an activity launched with the RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER intent.
int ContactOptionsColumns.SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL read/write An indicator of whether calls from this contact should be forwarded directly to voice mail ('1') or not ('0'). When raw contacts are aggregated, this field is automatically computed: if all constituent raw contacts have SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL=1, then this field is set to '1'. Setting this field automatically changes the corresponding field on all constituent raw contacts.
int ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_PRESENCE read-only Contact IM presence status. See StatusUpdates for individual status definitions. Automatically computed as the highest presence of all constituent raw contacts. The provider may choose not to store this value in persistent storage. The expectation is that presence status will be updated on a regular basis.
String ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS read-only Contact's latest status update. Automatically computed as the latest of all constituent raw contacts' status updates.
long ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP read-only The absolute time in milliseconds when the latest status was inserted/updated.
String ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE read-only The package containing resources for this status: label and icon.
long ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_LABEL read-only The resource ID of the label describing the source of contact status, e.g. "Google Talk". This resource is scoped by the ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.
long ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_ICON read-only The resource ID of the icon for the source of contact status. This resource is scoped by the ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.

A sub-directory of a contact that contains all of its RawContacts as well as Data rows. To access this directory append CONTENT_DIRECTORY to the contact URI.

Entity has three ID fields: RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID for the contact, RAW_CONTACT_ID for the raw contact and DATA_ID for the data rows. Entity always contains at least one row per constituent raw contact, even if there are no actual data rows. In this case the DATA_ID field will be null.

Entity reads all data for the entire contact in one transaction, to guarantee consistency. There is significant data duplication in the Entity (each row repeats all Contact columns and all RawContact columns), so the benefits of transactional consistency should be weighed against the cost of transferring large amounts of denormalized data from the Provider.

To reduce the amount of data duplication the contacts provider and directory providers implementing this protocol are allowed to provide common Contacts and RawContacts fields in the first row returned for each raw contact only and leave them as null in subsequent rows.

A read-only sub-directory of a single contact that contains the contact's primary photo. The photo may be stored in up to two ways - the default "photo" is a thumbnail-sized image stored directly in the data row, while the "display photo", if present, is a larger version stored as a file.

Usage example:

Retrieving the thumbnail-sized photo
public InputStream openPhoto(long contactId) {
    Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
    Uri photoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);

                return new ByteArrayInputStream(data);
            }
        }
    } finally {
        cursor.close();
    }
    return null;
}
Retrieving the larger photo version
public InputStream openDisplayPhoto(long contactId) {
    Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
    Uri displayPhotoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Photo.DISPLAY_PHOTO);

            getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(displayPhotoUri, "r");
        return fd.createInputStream();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        return null;
    }
}

Constants for the user's profile data, which is represented as a single contact on the device that represents the user. The profile contact is not aggregated together automatically in the same way that normal contacts are; instead, each account (including data set, if applicable) on the device may contribute a single raw contact representing the user's personal profile data from that source.

Access to the profile entry through these URIs (or incidental access to parts of the profile if retrieved directly via ID) requires additional permissions beyond the read/write contact permissions required by the provider. Querying for profile data requires android.permission.READ_PROFILE permission, and inserting or updating profile data requires android.permission.WRITE_PROFILE permission.

Operations

Insert
The user's profile entry cannot be created explicitly (attempting to do so will throw an exception). When a raw contact is inserted into the profile, the provider will check for the existence of a profile on the device. If one is found, the raw contact's RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID column gets the _ID of the profile Contact. If no match is found, the profile Contact is created and its _ID is put into the RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID column of the newly inserted raw contact.
Update
The profile Contact has the same update restrictions as Contacts in general, but requires the android.permission.WRITE_PROFILE permission.
Delete
The profile Contact cannot be explicitly deleted. It will be removed automatically if all of its constituent raw contact entries are deleted.
Query
  • The CONTENT_URI for profiles behaves in much the same way as retrieving a contact by ID, except that it will only ever return the user's profile contact.
  • The profile contact supports all of the same sub-paths as an individual contact does - the content of the profile contact can be retrieved as entities or data rows. Similarly, specific raw contact entries can be retrieved by appending the desired raw contact ID within the profile.

Constants for the raw contacts table, which contains one row of contact information for each person in each synced account. Sync adapters and contact management apps are the primary consumers of this API.

Aggregation

As soon as a raw contact is inserted or whenever its constituent data changes, the provider will check if the raw contact matches other existing raw contacts and if so will aggregate it with those. The aggregation is reflected in the RawContacts table by the change of the RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID field, which is the reference to the aggregate contact.

Changes to the structured name, organization, phone number, email address, or nickname trigger a re-aggregation.

See also AggregationExceptions for a mechanism to control aggregation programmatically.

Operations

Insert

Raw contacts can be inserted incrementally or in a batch. The incremental method is more traditional but less efficient. It should be used only if no Data values are available at the time the raw contact is created:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
values.put(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
Uri rawContactUri = getContentResolver().insert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, values);
long rawContactId = ContentUris.parseId(rawContactUri);

Once Data values become available, insert those. For example, here's how you would insert a name:

values.clear();
values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
values.put(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Mike Sullivan");
getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values);

The batch method is by far preferred. It inserts the raw contact and its constituent data rows in a single database transaction and causes at most one aggregation pass.

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =
         new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
...
int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
         .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType)
         .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName)
         .build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
         .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
         .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
         .withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Mike Sullivan")
         .build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);

Note the use of Builder.withValueBackReference(String, int) to refer to the as-yet-unknown index value of the raw contact inserted in the first operation.

Update

Raw contacts can be updated incrementally or in a batch. Batch mode should be used whenever possible. The procedures and considerations are analogous to those documented above for inserts.

Delete

When a raw contact is deleted, all of its Data rows as well as StatusUpdates, AggregationExceptions, PhoneLookup rows are deleted automatically. When all raw contacts associated with a Contacts row are deleted, the Contacts row itself is also deleted automatically.

The invocation of resolver.delete(...), does not immediately delete a raw contacts row. Instead, it sets the RawContactsColumns.DELETED flag on the raw contact and removes the raw contact from its aggregate contact. The sync adapter then deletes the raw contact from the server and finalizes phone-side deletion by calling resolver.delete(...) again and passing the ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER query parameter.

Some sync adapters are read-only, meaning that they only sync server-side changes to the phone, but not the reverse. If one of those raw contacts is marked for deletion, it will remain on the phone. However it will be effectively invisible, because it will not be part of any aggregate contact.

Query

It is easy to find all raw contacts in a Contact:

Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
         new String[]{RawContacts._ID},
         RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + "=?",
         new String[]{String.valueOf(contactId)}, null);

To find raw contacts within a specific account, you can either put the account name and type in the selection or pass them as query parameters. The latter approach is preferable, especially when you can reuse the URI:

Uri rawContactUri = RawContacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
         .appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName)
         .appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType)
         .build();
Cursor c1 = getContentResolver().query(rawContactUri,
         RawContacts.STARRED + "<>0", null, null, null);
...
Cursor c2 = getContentResolver().query(rawContactUri,
         RawContacts.DELETED + "<>0", null, null, null);

The best way to read a raw contact along with all the data associated with it is by using the Entity directory. If the raw contact has data rows, the Entity cursor will contain a row for each data row. If the raw contact has no data rows, the cursor will still contain one row with the raw contact-level information.

Uri rawContactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, rawContactId);
Uri entityUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(rawContactUri, Entity.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(entityUri,
         new String[]{RawContacts.SOURCE_ID, Entity.DATA_ID, Entity.MIMETYPE, Entity.DATA1},
         null, null, null);
try {
    while (c.moveToNext()) {
        String sourceId = c.getString(0);
        if (!c.isNull(1)) {
            String mimeType = c.getString(2);
            String data = c.getString(3);
            ...
        }
    }
} finally {
    c.close();
}

Columns

RawContacts
long BaseColumns._ID read-only Row ID. Sync adapters should try to preserve row IDs during updates. In other words, it is much better for a sync adapter to update a raw contact rather than to delete and re-insert it.
long RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID read-only The ID of the row in the Contacts table that this raw contact belongs to. Raw contacts are linked to contacts by the aggregation process, which can be controlled by the RawContactsColumns.AGGREGATION_MODE field and AggregationExceptions.
int RawContactsColumns.AGGREGATION_MODE read/write A mechanism that allows programmatic control of the aggregation process. The allowed values are AGGREGATION_MODE_DEFAULT, AGGREGATION_MODE_DISABLED and AGGREGATION_MODE_SUSPENDED. See also AggregationExceptions.
int RawContactsColumns.DELETED read/write The "deleted" flag: "0" by default, "1" if the row has been marked for deletion. When ContentResolver.delete is called on a raw contact, it is marked for deletion and removed from its aggregate contact. The sync adaptor deletes the raw contact on the server and then calls ContactResolver.delete once more, this time passing the ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER query parameter to finalize the data removal.
int ContactOptionsColumns.TIMES_CONTACTED read/write The number of times the contact has been contacted. To have an effect on the corresponding value of the aggregate contact, this field should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted. After that, this value is typically updated via Contacts.markAsContacted.
long ContactOptionsColumns.LAST_TIME_CONTACTED read/write The timestamp of the last time the contact was contacted. To have an effect on the corresponding value of the aggregate contact, this field should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted. After that, this value is typically updated via Contacts.markAsContacted.
int ContactOptionsColumns.STARRED read/write An indicator for favorite contacts: '1' if favorite, '0' otherwise. Changing this field immediately affects the corresponding aggregate contact: if any raw contacts in that aggregate contact are starred, then the contact itself is marked as starred.
String ContactOptionsColumns.CUSTOM_RINGTONE read/write A custom ringtone associated with a raw contact. Typically this is the URI returned by an activity launched with the RingtoneManager.ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER intent. To have an effect on the corresponding value of the aggregate contact, this field should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted. To set a custom ringtone on a contact, use the field Contacts.CUSTOM_RINGTONE instead.
int ContactOptionsColumns.SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL read/write An indicator of whether calls from this raw contact should be forwarded directly to voice mail ('1') or not ('0'). To have an effect on the corresponding value of the aggregate contact, this field should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted.
String SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME read/write-once The name of the account instance to which this row belongs, which when paired with SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE identifies a specific account. For example, this will be the Gmail address if it is a Google account. It should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted and never changed afterwards.
String SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE read/write-once

The type of account to which this row belongs, which when paired with SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME identifies a specific account. It should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted and never changed afterwards.

To ensure uniqueness, new account types should be chosen according to the Java package naming convention. Thus a Google account is of type "com.google".

String RawContactsColumns.DATA_SET read/write-once

The data set within the account that this row belongs to. This allows multiple sync adapters for the same account type to distinguish between each others' data. The combination of SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE, SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME, and RawContactsColumns.DATA_SET identifies a set of data that is associated with a single sync adapter.

This is empty by default, and is completely optional. It only needs to be populated if multiple sync adapters are entering distinct data for the same account type and account name.

It should be set at the time the raw contact is inserted and never changed afterwards.

String SyncColumns.SOURCE_ID read/write String that uniquely identifies this row to its source account. Typically it is set at the time the raw contact is inserted and never changed afterwards. The one notable exception is a new raw contact: it will have an account name and type (and possibly a data set), but no source id. This indicates to the sync adapter that a new contact needs to be created server-side and its ID stored in the corresponding SOURCE_ID field on the phone.
int SyncColumns.VERSION read-only Version number that is updated whenever this row or its related data changes. This field can be used for optimistic locking of a raw contact.
int SyncColumns.DIRTY read/write Flag indicating that SyncColumns.VERSION has changed, and this row needs to be synchronized by its owning account. The value is set to "1" automatically whenever the raw contact changes, unless the URI has the ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER query parameter specified. The sync adapter should always supply this query parameter to prevent unnecessary synchronization: user changes some data on the server, the sync adapter updates the contact on the phone (without the CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER flag) flag, which sets the DIRTY flag, which triggers a sync to bring the changes to the server.
String BaseSyncColumns.SYNC1 read/write Generic column provided for arbitrary use by sync adapters. The content provider stores this information on behalf of the sync adapter but does not interpret it in any way.
String BaseSyncColumns.SYNC2 read/write Generic column for use by sync adapters.
String BaseSyncColumns.SYNC3 read/write Generic column for use by sync adapters.
String BaseSyncColumns.SYNC4 read/write Generic column for use by sync adapters.

Changes to the raw contact will update the associated aggregate contact but will not result in any change in how the contact is aggregated.

This can be used to postpone aggregation until after a series of updates, for better performance and/or user experience.

Note that changing RawContactsColumns.AGGREGATION_MODE from AGGREGATION_MODE_SUSPENDED to AGGREGATION_MODE_DEFAULT does not trigger an aggregation pass, but any subsequent change to the raw contact's data will.

A sub-directory of a single raw contact that represents its primary display photo. To access this directory append CONTENT_DIRECTORY to the raw contact URI. The resulting URI represents an image file, and should be interacted with using ContentResolver.openAssetFileDescriptor.

Note that this sub-directory also supports opening the photo as an asset file in write mode. Callers can create or replace the primary photo associated with this raw contact by opening the asset file and writing the full-size photo contents into it. When the file is closed, the image will be parsed, sized down if necessary for the full-size display photo and thumbnail dimensions, and stored.

Usage example:

public void writeDisplayPhoto(long rawContactId, byte[] photo) {
    Uri rawContactPhotoUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
            ContentUris.withAppendedId(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, rawContactId),

    try {
        AssetFileDescriptor fd =
            getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(rawContactPhotoUri, "rw");
        OutputStream os = fd.createOutputStream();
        os.write(photo);
        os.close();
        fd.close();
    } catch (IOException e) {

Constants for the stream_items table, which contains social stream updates from the user's contact list.

Only a certain number of stream items will ever be stored under a given raw contact. Users of this API can query CONTENT_LIMIT_URI to determine this limit, and should restrict the number of items inserted in any given transaction correspondingly. Insertion of more items beyond the limit will automatically lead to deletion of the oldest items, by StreamItemsColumns.TIMESTAMP.

Access to the social stream through these URIs requires additional permissions beyond the read/write contact permissions required by the provider. Querying for social stream data requires android.permission.READ_SOCIAL_STREAM permission, and inserting or updating social stream items requires android.permission.WRITE_SOCIAL_STREAM permission.

Account check

The content URIs to the insert, update and delete operations are required to have the account information matching that of the owning raw contact as query parameters, namely SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE and SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME. RawContactsColumns.DATA_SET isn't required.

Operations

Insert

Social stream updates are always associated with a raw contact. There are a couple of ways to insert these entries.

Via the StreamItems.CONTENT_DIRECTORY sub-path of a raw contact:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItems.TEXT, "Breakfasted at Tiffanys");
values.put(StreamItems.TIMESTAMP, timestamp);
values.put(StreamItems.COMMENTS, "3 people reshared this");
Uri.Builder builder = RawContacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, rawContactId);
builder.appendEncodedPath(RawContacts.StreamItems.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
Uri streamItemUri = getContentResolver().insert(builder.build(), values);
long streamItemId = ContentUris.parseId(streamItemUri);
Via CONTENT_URI:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItems.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
values.put(StreamItems.TEXT, "Breakfasted at Tiffanys");
values.put(StreamItems.TIMESTAMP, timestamp);
values.put(StreamItems.COMMENTS, "3 people reshared this");
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
Uri streamItemUri = getContentResolver().insert(builder.build(), values);
long streamItemId = ContentUris.parseId(streamItemUri);

Once a StreamItems entry has been inserted, photos associated with that social update can be inserted. For example, after one of the insertions above, photos could be added to the stream item in one of the following ways:

Via a URI including the stream item ID:
values.clear();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.SORT_INDEX, 1);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, photoData);
getContentResolver().insert(Uri.withAppendedPath(
    ContentUris.withAppendedId(StreamItems.CONTENT_URI, streamItemId),
    StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY), values);
Via CONTENT_PHOTO_URI:
values.clear();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.STREAM_ITEM_ID, streamItemId);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.SORT_INDEX, 1);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, photoData);
getContentResolver().insert(StreamItems.CONTENT_PHOTO_URI, values);

Note that this latter form allows the insertion of a stream item and its photos in a single transaction, by using ContentProviderOperation with back references to populate the stream item ID in the ContentValues.

Update
Updates can be performed by appending the stream item ID to the CONTENT_URI URI. Only social stream entries that were created by the calling package can be updated.
Delete
Deletes can be performed by appending the stream item ID to the CONTENT_URI URI. Only social stream entries that were created by the calling package can be deleted.
Query
Finding all social stream updates for a given contact
By Contact ID:
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Uri.withAppendedPath(
         ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId),
         Contacts.StreamItems.CONTENT_DIRECTORY),
         null, null, null, null);
By lookup key:
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Contacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
         .appendPath(lookupKey)
         .appendPath(Contacts.StreamItems.CONTENT_DIRECTORY).build(),
         null, null, null, null);
Finding all social stream updates for a given raw contact
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Uri.withAppendedPath(
         ContentUris.withAppendedId(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, rawContactId),
         RawContacts.StreamItems.CONTENT_DIRECTORY)),
         null, null, null, null);
Querying for a specific stream item by ID
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(ContentUris.withAppendedId(
         StreamItems.CONTENT_URI, streamItemId),
         null, null, null, null);

Constants for the stream_item_photos table, which contains photos associated with social stream updates.

Access to social stream photos requires additional permissions beyond the read/write contact permissions required by the provider. Querying for social stream photos requires android.permission.READ_SOCIAL_STREAM permission, and inserting or updating social stream photos requires android.permission.WRITE_SOCIAL_STREAM permission.

Account check

The content URIs to the insert, update and delete operations are required to have the account information matching that of the owning raw contact as query parameters, namely SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE and SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_NAME. RawContactsColumns.DATA_SET isn't required.

Operations

Insert

Social stream photo entries are associated with a social stream item. Photos can be inserted into a social stream item in a couple of ways:

Via the StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY sub-path of a stream item:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.SORT_INDEX, 1);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, photoData);
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemId);
builder.appendEncodedPath(StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
Uri photoUri = getContentResolver().insert(builder.build(), values);
long photoId = ContentUris.parseId(photoUri);
Via the StreamItems.CONTENT_PHOTO_URI URI:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.STREAM_ITEM_ID, streamItemId);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.SORT_INDEX, 1);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, photoData);
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_PHOTO_URI.buildUpon();
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
Uri photoUri = getContentResolver().insert(builder.build(), values);
long photoId = ContentUris.parseId(photoUri);

Update

Updates can only be made against a specific StreamItemPhotos entry, identified by both the stream item ID it belongs to and the stream item photo ID. This can be specified in two ways.

Via the StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY sub-path of a stream item:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, newPhotoData);
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemId);
builder.appendEncodedPath(StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemPhotoId);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
getContentResolver().update(builder.build(), values, null, null);
Via the StreamItems.CONTENT_PHOTO_URI URI:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.STREAM_ITEM_ID, streamItemId);
values.put(StreamItemPhotos.PHOTO, newPhotoData);
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_PHOTO_URI.buildUpon();
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
getContentResolver().update(builder.build(), values);

Delete
Deletes can be made against either a specific photo item in a stream item, or against all or a selected subset of photo items under a stream item. For example:
Deleting a single photo via the StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY sub-path of a stream item:
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemId);
builder.appendEncodedPath(StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemPhotoId);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
getContentResolver().delete(builder.build(), null, null);
Deleting all photos under a stream item
Uri.Builder builder = StreamItems.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon();
ContentUris.appendId(builder, streamItemId);
builder.appendEncodedPath(StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName);
builder.appendQueryParameter(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType);
getContentResolver().delete(builder.build(), null, null);
Query
Querying for a specific photo in a stream item
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
    ContentUris.withAppendedId(
        Uri.withAppendedPath(
            ContentUris.withAppendedId(StreamItems.CONTENT_URI, streamItemId)
            StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos#CONTENT_DIRECTORY),
        streamItemPhotoId), null, null, null, null);
Querying for all photos in a stream item
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(
    Uri.withAppendedPath(
        ContentUris.withAppendedId(StreamItems.CONTENT_URI, streamItemId)
        StreamItems.StreamItemPhotos#CONTENT_DIRECTORY),
    null, null, null, StreamItemPhotos.SORT_INDEX);
The record will contain both a StreamItemPhotosColumns.PHOTO_FILE_ID and a StreamItemPhotosColumns.PHOTO_URI. The StreamItemPhotosColumns.PHOTO_FILE_ID can be used in conjunction with the DisplayPhoto API to retrieve photo content, or you can open the StreamItemPhotosColumns.PHOTO_URI as an asset file, as follows:
public InputStream openDisplayPhoto(String photoUri) {
    try {
        AssetFileDescriptor fd = getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(photoUri, "r");
        return fd.createInputStream();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        return null;
    }
}

protected interface DataColumnsWithJoins extends BaseColumns, DataColumns, StatusColumns, RawContactsColumns, ContactsColumns, ContactNameColumns, ContactOptionsColumns, ContactStatusColumns, DataUsageStatColumns { }

Constants for the data table, which contains data points tied to a raw contact. Each row of the data table is typically used to store a single piece of contact information (such as a phone number) and its associated metadata (such as whether it is a work or home number).

Data kinds

Data is a generic table that can hold any kind of contact data. The kind of data stored in a given row is specified by the row's DataColumns.MIMETYPE value, which determines the meaning of the generic columns DataColumns.DATA1 through DataColumns.DATA15. For example, if the data kind is Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, then the column DataColumns.DATA1 stores the phone number, but if the data kind is Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, then DataColumns.DATA1 stores the email address. Sync adapters and applications can introduce their own data kinds.

ContactsContract defines a small number of pre-defined data kinds, e.g. Phone, Email etc. As a convenience, these classes define data kind specific aliases for DATA1 etc. For example, Phone.NUMBER is the same as Data.DATA1.

DataColumns.DATA1 is an indexed column and should be used for the data element that is expected to be most frequently used in query selections. For example, in the case of a row representing email addresses DataColumns.DATA1 should probably be used for the email address itself, while DataColumns.DATA2 etc can be used for auxiliary information like type of email address.

By convention, DataColumns.DATA15 is used for storing BLOBs (binary data).

The sync adapter for a given account type must correctly handle every data type used in the corresponding raw contacts. Otherwise it could result in lost or corrupted data.

Similarly, you should refrain from introducing new kinds of data for an other party's account types. For example, if you add a data row for "favorite song" to a raw contact owned by a Google account, it will not get synced to the server, because the Google sync adapter does not know how to handle this data kind. Thus new data kinds are typically introduced along with new account types, i.e. new sync adapters.

Batch operations

Data rows can be inserted/updated/deleted using the traditional ContentResolver.insert, ContentResolver.update and ContentResolver.delete methods, however the newer mechanism based on a batch of ContentProviderOperation will prove to be a better choice in almost all cases. All operations in a batch are executed in a single transaction, which ensures that the phone-side and server-side state of a raw contact are always consistent. Also, the batch-based approach is far more efficient: not only are the database operations faster when executed in a single transaction, but also sending a batch of commands to the content provider saves a lot of time on context switching between your process and the process in which the content provider runs.

The flip side of using batched operations is that a large batch may lock up the database for a long time preventing other applications from accessing data and potentially causing ANRs ("Application Not Responding" dialogs.)

To avoid such lockups of the database, make sure to insert "yield points" in the batch. A yield point indicates to the content provider that before executing the next operation it can commit the changes that have already been made, yield to other requests, open another transaction and continue processing operations. A yield point will not automatically commit the transaction, but only if there is another request waiting on the database. Normally a sync adapter should insert a yield point at the beginning of each raw contact operation sequence in the batch. See Builder.withYieldAllowed(boolean).

Operations

Insert

An individual data row can be inserted using the traditional ContentResolver.insert(Uri, ContentValues) method. Multiple rows should always be inserted as a batch.

An example of a traditional insert:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
values.put(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411");
values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM);
values.put(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance");
Uri dataUri = getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values);

The same done using ContentProviderOperations:

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =
         new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
         .withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId)
         .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
         .withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411")
         .withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM)
         .withValue(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance")
         .build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);

Update

Just as with insert, update can be done incrementally or as a batch, the batch mode being the preferred method:

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =
         new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI)
         .withSelection(Data._ID + "=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(dataId)})
         .withValue(Email.DATA, "somebody@android.com")
         .build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);

Delete

Just as with insert and update, deletion can be done either using the ContentResolver.delete method or using a ContentProviderOperation:

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =
         new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(Data.CONTENT_URI)
         .withSelection(Data._ID + "=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(dataId)})
         .build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);

Query

Finding all Data of a given type for a given contact
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI,
         new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL},
         Data.CONTACT_ID + "=?" + " AND "
                 + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'",
         new String[] {String.valueOf(contactId)}, null);

Finding all Data of a given type for a given raw contact
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI,
         new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL},
         Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + "=?" + " AND "
                 + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'",
         new String[] {String.valueOf(rawContactId)}, null);
Finding all Data for a given raw contact
Most sync adapters will want to read all data rows for a raw contact along with the raw contact itself. For that you should use the RawContactsEntity. See also RawContacts.

Columns

Many columns are available via a CONTENT_URI query. For best performance you should explicitly specify a projection to only those columns that you need.

Data
long BaseColumns._ID read-only Row ID. Sync adapter should try to preserve row IDs during updates. In other words, it would be a bad idea to delete and reinsert a data row. A sync adapter should always do an update instead.
String DataColumns.MIMETYPE read/write-once

The MIME type of the item represented by this row. Examples of common MIME types are:

long DataColumns.RAW_CONTACT_ID read/write-once The id of the row in the RawContacts table that this data belongs to.
int DataColumns.IS_PRIMARY read/write Whether this is the primary entry of its kind for the raw contact it belongs to. "1" if true, "0" if false.
int DataColumns.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY read/write Whether this is the primary entry of its kind for the aggregate contact it belongs to. Any data record that is "super primary" must also be "primary". For example, the super-primary entry may be interpreted as the default contact value of its kind (for example, the default phone number to use for the contact).
int DataColumns.DATA_VERSION read-only The version of this data record. Whenever the data row changes the version goes up. This value is monotonically increasing.
Any type DataColumns.DATA1
DataColumns.DATA2
DataColumns.DATA3
DataColumns.DATA4
DataColumns.DATA5
DataColumns.DATA6
DataColumns.DATA7
DataColumns.DATA8
DataColumns.DATA9
DataColumns.DATA10
DataColumns.DATA11
DataColumns.DATA12
DataColumns.DATA13
DataColumns.DATA14
DataColumns.DATA15
read/write

Generic data columns. The meaning of each column is determined by the DataColumns.MIMETYPE. By convention, DataColumns.DATA15 is used for storing BLOBs (binary data).

Data columns whose meaning is not explicitly defined for a given MIMETYPE should not be used. There is no guarantee that any sync adapter will preserve them. Sync adapters themselves should not use such columns either, but should instead use DataColumns.SYNC1-DataColumns.SYNC4.

Any type DataColumns.SYNC1
DataColumns.SYNC2
DataColumns.SYNC3
DataColumns.SYNC4
read/write Generic columns for use by sync adapters. For example, a Photo row may store the image URL in SYNC1, a status (not loaded, loading, loaded, error) in SYNC2, server-side version number in SYNC3 and error code in SYNC4.

Some columns from the most recent associated status update are also available through an implicit join.

Join with StatusUpdates
int StatusColumns.PRESENCE read-only IM presence status linked to this data row. Compare with ContactStatusColumns.CONTACT_PRESENCE, which contains the contact's presence across all IM rows. See StatusUpdates for individual status definitions. The provider may choose not to store this value in persistent storage. The expectation is that presence status will be updated on a regular basis.
String StatusColumns.STATUS read-only Latest status update linked with this data row.
long StatusColumns.STATUS_TIMESTAMP read-only The absolute time in milliseconds when the latest status was inserted/updated for this data row.
String StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE read-only The package containing resources for this status: label and icon.
long StatusColumns.STATUS_LABEL read-only The resource ID of the label describing the source of status update linked to this data row. This resource is scoped by the StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.
long StatusColumns.STATUS_ICON read-only The resource ID of the icon for the source of the status update linked to this data row. This resource is scoped by the StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.

Some columns from the associated raw contact are also available through an implicit join. The other columns are excluded as uninteresting in this context.

Join with RawContacts
long RawContactsColumns.CONTACT_ID read-only The id of the row in the Contacts table that this data belongs to.
int RawContactsColumns.AGGREGATION_MODE read-only See RawContacts.
int RawContactsColumns.DELETED read-only See RawContacts.

The ID column for the associated aggregated contact table Contacts is available via the implicit join to the RawContacts table, see above. The remaining columns from this table are also available, through an implicit join. This facilitates lookup by the value of a single data element, such as the email address.

/** * <p> * Constants for the data table, which contains data points tied to a raw * contact. Each row of the data table is typically used to store a single * piece of contact * information (such as a phone number) and its * associated metadata (such as whether it is a work or home number). * </p> * <h3>Data kinds</h3> * <p> * Data is a generic table that can hold any kind of contact data. * The kind of data stored in a given row is specified by the row's * {@link #MIMETYPE} value, which determines the meaning of the * generic columns {@link #DATA1} through * {@link #DATA15}. * For example, if the data kind is * {@link CommonDataKinds.Phone Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}, then the column * {@link #DATA1} stores the * phone number, but if the data kind is * {@link CommonDataKinds.Email Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}, then {@link #DATA1} * stores the email address. * Sync adapters and applications can introduce their own data kinds. * </p> * <p> * ContactsContract defines a small number of pre-defined data kinds, e.g. * {@link CommonDataKinds.Phone}, {@link CommonDataKinds.Email} etc. As a * convenience, these classes define data kind specific aliases for DATA1 etc. * For example, {@link CommonDataKinds.Phone Phone.NUMBER} is the same as * {@link ContactsContract.Data Data.DATA1}. * </p> * <p> * {@link #DATA1} is an indexed column and should be used for the data element that is * expected to be most frequently used in query selections. For example, in the * case of a row representing email addresses {@link #DATA1} should probably * be used for the email address itself, while {@link #DATA2} etc can be * used for auxiliary information like type of email address. * <p> * <p> * By convention, {@link #DATA15} is used for storing BLOBs (binary data). * </p> * <p> * The sync adapter for a given account type must correctly handle every data type * used in the corresponding raw contacts. Otherwise it could result in lost or * corrupted data. * </p> * <p> * Similarly, you should refrain from introducing new kinds of data for an other * party's account types. For example, if you add a data row for * "favorite song" to a raw contact owned by a Google account, it will not * get synced to the server, because the Google sync adapter does not know * how to handle this data kind. Thus new data kinds are typically * introduced along with new account types, i.e. new sync adapters. * </p> * <h3>Batch operations</h3> * <p> * Data rows can be inserted/updated/deleted using the traditional * {@link ContentResolver#insert}, {@link ContentResolver#update} and * {@link ContentResolver#delete} methods, however the newer mechanism based * on a batch of {@link ContentProviderOperation} will prove to be a better * choice in almost all cases. All operations in a batch are executed in a * single transaction, which ensures that the phone-side and server-side * state of a raw contact are always consistent. Also, the batch-based * approach is far more efficient: not only are the database operations * faster when executed in a single transaction, but also sending a batch of * commands to the content provider saves a lot of time on context switching * between your process and the process in which the content provider runs. * </p> * <p> * The flip side of using batched operations is that a large batch may lock * up the database for a long time preventing other applications from * accessing data and potentially causing ANRs ("Application Not Responding" * dialogs.) * </p> * <p> * To avoid such lockups of the database, make sure to insert "yield points" * in the batch. A yield point indicates to the content provider that before * executing the next operation it can commit the changes that have already * been made, yield to other requests, open another transaction and continue * processing operations. A yield point will not automatically commit the * transaction, but only if there is another request waiting on the * database. Normally a sync adapter should insert a yield point at the * beginning of each raw contact operation sequence in the batch. See * {@link ContentProviderOperation.Builder#withYieldAllowed(boolean)}. * </p> * <h3>Operations</h3> * <dl> * <dt><b>Insert</b></dt> * <dd> * <p> * An individual data row can be inserted using the traditional * {@link ContentResolver#insert(Uri, ContentValues)} method. Multiple rows * should always be inserted as a batch. * </p> * <p> * An example of a traditional insert: * <pre> * ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); * values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId); * values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE); * values.put(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411"); * values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM); * values.put(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance"); * Uri dataUri = getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values); * </pre> * <p> * The same done using ContentProviderOperations: * <pre> * ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt; ops = * new ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt;(); * * ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI) * .withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId) * .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) * .withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411") * .withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM) * .withValue(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance") * .build()); * getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); * </pre> * </p> * <dt><b>Update</b></dt> * <dd> * <p> * Just as with insert, update can be done incrementally or as a batch, * the batch mode being the preferred method: * <pre> * ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt; ops = * new ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt;(); * * ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI) * .withSelection(Data._ID + "=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(dataId)}) * .withValue(Email.DATA, "somebody@android.com") * .build()); * getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); * </pre> * </p> * </dd> * <dt><b>Delete</b></dt> * <dd> * <p> * Just as with insert and update, deletion can be done either using the * {@link ContentResolver#delete} method or using a ContentProviderOperation: * <pre> * ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt; ops = * new ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt;(); * * ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(Data.CONTENT_URI) * .withSelection(Data._ID + "=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(dataId)}) * .build()); * getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); * </pre> * </p> * </dd> * <dt><b>Query</b></dt> * <dd> * <p> * <dl> * <dt>Finding all Data of a given type for a given contact</dt> * <dd> * <pre> * Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI, * new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL}, * Data.CONTACT_ID + &quot;=?&quot; + " AND " * + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'", * new String[] {String.valueOf(contactId)}, null); * </pre> * </p> * <p> * </dd> * <dt>Finding all Data of a given type for a given raw contact</dt> * <dd> * <pre> * Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI, * new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL}, * Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + &quot;=?&quot; + " AND " * + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'", * new String[] {String.valueOf(rawContactId)}, null); * </pre> * </dd> * <dt>Finding all Data for a given raw contact</dt> * <dd> * Most sync adapters will want to read all data rows for a raw contact * along with the raw contact itself.

It supports the same semantics as CONTENT_FILTER_URI and returns the same columns. If the device has no corp profile that is linked to the current profile, it behaves in the exact same way as CONTENT_FILTER_URI.

If a result is from the corp profile, it makes the following changes to the data:

A status update is linked to a Data row and captures the user's latest status update via the corresponding source, e.g. "Having lunch" via "Google Talk".

There are two ways a status update can be inserted: by explicitly linking it to a Data row using PresenceColumns.DATA_ID or indirectly linking it to a data row using a combination of PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL (or PresenceColumns.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL) and PresenceColumns.IM_HANDLE. There is no difference between insert and update, you can use either.

Inserting or updating a status update for the user's profile requires either using the PresenceColumns.DATA_ID to identify the data row to attach the update to, or PROFILE_CONTENT_URI to ensure that the change is scoped to the profile.

You cannot use ContentResolver.update to change a status, but ContentResolver.insert will replace the latests status if it already exists.

Use ContentResolver.bulkInsert(Uri, ContentValues[]) to insert/update statuses for multiple contacts at once.

Columns

StatusUpdates
long PresenceColumns.DATA_ID read/write Reference to the BaseColumns._ID entry that owns this presence. If this field is not specified, the provider will attempt to find a data row that matches the PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL (or PresenceColumns.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL) and PresenceColumns.IM_HANDLE columns.
long PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL read/write See Im for a list of defined protocol constants.
String PresenceColumns.CUSTOM_PROTOCOL read/write Name of the custom protocol. Should be supplied along with the PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL value Im.PROTOCOL_CUSTOM. Should be null or omitted if PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL value is not Im.PROTOCOL_CUSTOM.
String PresenceColumns.IM_HANDLE read/write The IM handle the presence item is for. The handle is scoped to PresenceColumns.PROTOCOL.
String PresenceColumns.IM_ACCOUNT read/write The IM account for the local user that the presence data came from.
int StatusColumns.PRESENCE read/write Contact IM presence status. The allowed values are:

Since presence status is inherently volatile, the content provider may choose not to store this field in long-term storage.

int StatusColumns.CHAT_CAPABILITY read/write Contact IM chat compatibility value. The allowed values combinations of the following flags. If None of these flags is set, the device can only do text messaging.

Since chat compatibility is inherently volatile as the contact's availability moves from one device to another, the content provider may choose not to store this field in long-term storage.

String StatusColumns.STATUS read/write Contact's latest status update, e.g. "having toast for breakfast"
long StatusColumns.STATUS_TIMESTAMP read/write The absolute time in milliseconds when the status was entered by the user. If this value is not provided, the provider will follow this logic: if there was no prior status update, the value will be left as null. If there was a prior status update, the provider will default this field to the current time.
String StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE read/write The package containing resources for this status: label and icon.
long StatusColumns.STATUS_LABEL read/write The resource ID of the label describing the source of contact status, e.g. "Google Talk". This resource is scoped by the StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.
long StatusColumns.STATUS_ICON read/write The resource ID of the icon for the source of contact status. This resource is scoped by the StatusColumns.STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.

API allowing applications to send usage information for each Data row to the Contacts Provider. Applications can also clear all usage information.

Caution: As of January 7, 2019, this class is obsolete. For more information, see the Contacts Provider page.

With the feedback, Contacts Provider may return more contextually appropriate results for Data listing, typically supplied with Contacts.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Email.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, and users can benefit from better ranked (sorted) lists in applications that show auto-complete list.

There is no guarantee for how this feedback is used, or even whether it is used at all. The ranking algorithm will make best efforts to use the feedback data, but the exact implementation, the storage data structures as well as the resulting sort order is device and version specific and can change over time.

When updating usage information, users of this API need to use ContentResolver.update(Uri, ContentValues, String, String[]) with a Uri constructed from FEEDBACK_URI. The Uri must contain one or more data id(s) as its last path. They also need to append a query parameter to the Uri, to specify the type of the communication, which enables the Contacts Provider to differentiate between kinds of interactions using the same contact data field (for example a phone number can be used to make phone calls or send SMS).

Selection and selectionArgs are ignored and must be set to null. To get data ids, you may need to call ContentResolver.query(Uri, String[], String, String[], String) toward Data.CONTENT_URI.

ContentResolver.update(Uri, ContentValues, String, String[]) returns a positive integer when successful, and returns 0 if no contact with that id was found.

Example:

Uri uri = DataUsageFeedback.FEEDBACK_URI.buildUpon()
        .appendPath(TextUtils.join(",", dataIds))
        .appendQueryParameter(DataUsageFeedback.USAGE_TYPE,
                DataUsageFeedback.USAGE_TYPE_CALL)
        .build();
boolean successful = resolver.update(uri, new ContentValues(), null, null) > 0;

Applications can also clear all usage information with:

boolean successful = resolver.delete(DataUsageFeedback.DELETE_USAGE_URI, null, null) > 0;

Contact-specific information about whether or not a contact has been pinned by the user at a particular position within the system contact application's user interface.

This pinning information can be used by individual applications to customize how they order particular pinned contacts. For example, a Dialer application could use pinned information to order user-pinned contacts in a top row of favorites.

It is possible for two or more contacts to occupy the same pinned position (due to aggregation and sync), so this pinning information should be used on a best-effort basis to order contacts in-application rather than an absolute guide on where a contact should be positioned. Contacts returned by the ContactsProvider will not be ordered based on this information, so it is up to the client application to reorder these contacts within their own UI adhering to (or ignoring as appropriate) information stored in the pinned column.

By default, unpinned contacts will have a pinned position of UNPINNED. Client-provided pinned positions can be positive integers that are greater than 1.

Activity Action: Initiate a message to someone by voice. The message could be text, audio, video or image(photo). This action supports messaging with a specific contact regardless of the underlying messaging protocol used.

The action could be originated from the Voice Assistant as a voice interaction. In such case, a receiving activity that supports Intent.CATEGORY_VOICE could check return value of Activity.isVoiceInteractionRoot before proceeding. By doing this check the activity verifies that the action indeed was initiated by Voice Assistant and could send a message right away, without any further input from the user. This allows for a smooth user experience when sending a message by voice. Note: this activity must also support the Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT so it can be found by VoiceInteractionSession.startVoiceActivity.

When the action was not initiated by Voice Assistant or when the receiving activity does not support Intent.CATEGORY_VOICE, the activity must confirm with the user before sending the message (because in this case it is unknown which app sent the intent, it could be malicious).

To allow the Voice Assistant to help users with contacts disambiguation, the messaging app may choose to integrate with the Contacts Provider. You will need to specify a new MIME type in order to store your app’s unique contact IDs and optional human readable labels in the Data table. The Voice Assistant needs to know this MIME type and SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE that you are using in order to provide the smooth contact disambiguation user experience. The following convention should be met when performing such integration:

  • This activity should have a string meta-data field associated with it, METADATA_ACCOUNT_TYPE, which defines SyncColumns.ACCOUNT_TYPE for your Contacts Provider implementation. The account type should be globally unique, for example you can use your app package name as the account type.
  • This activity should have a string meta-data field associated with it, METADATA_MIMETYPE, which defines DataColumns.MIMETYPE for your Contacts Provider implementation. For example, you can use "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.{$app_package_name}.profile" as MIME type.
  • When filling Data table row for METADATA_MIMETYPE, column DataColumns.DATA1 should store the unique contact ID as understood by the app. This value will be used in the EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_CHAT_ID.
  • Optionally, when filling Data table row for METADATA_MIMETYPE, column DataColumns.DATA3 could store a human readable label for the ID. For example it could be phone number or human readable username/user_id like "a_super_cool_user_name". This label may be shown below the Contact Name by the Voice Assistant as the user completes the voice action. If DATA3 is empty, the ID in DATA1 may be shown instead.
  • Note: Do not use DATA3 to store the Contact Name. The Voice Assistant will already get the Contact Name from the RawContact’s display_name.
  • Note: Some apps may choose to use phone number as the unique contact ID in DATA1. If this applies to you and you’d like phone number to be shown below the Contact Name by the Voice Assistant, then you may choose to leave DATA3 empty.
  • Note: If your app also uses DATA3 to display contact details in the Contacts App, make sure it does not include prefix text such as "Message +" or "Free Message +", etc. If you must show the prefix text in the Contacts App, please use a different DATA# column, and update your contacts.xml to point to this new column.
  • Everytime the user sends a message to a contact, your app may choose to update the ContactOptionsColumns.TIMES_CONTACTED entry through DataUsageFeedback class. Doing this will allow Voice Assistant to bias speech recognition to contacts frequently contacted, this is particularly useful for contact names that are hard to pronounce.
If the app chooses not to integrate with the Contacts Provider (in particular, when either METADATA_ACCOUNT_TYPE or METADATA_MIMETYPE field is missing), Voice Assistant will use existing phone number entries as contact ID's for such app.

Input: Intent.getType is the MIME type of the data being sent. The intent sender will always put the concrete mime type in the intent type, like "text/plain" or "audio/wav" for example. If the MIME type is "text/plain", message to sent will be provided via Intent.EXTRA_TEXT as a styled CharSequence. Otherwise, the message content will be supplied through Intent.setClipData(ClipData) as a content provider URI(s). In the latter case, EXTRA_TEXT could still be supplied optionally; for example, for audio messages ClipData will contain URI of a recording and EXTRA_TEXT could contain the text transcription of this recording.

The message can have n recipients. The n-th recipient of the message will be provided as n-th elements of EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_URI, EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_CHAT_ID and EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_NAME (as a consequence, EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_URI, EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_CHAT_ID and EXTRA_RECIPIENT_CONTACT_NAME should all be of length n). If neither of these 3 elements is provided (e.g. all 3 are null) for the recipient or if the information provided is ambiguous then the activity should prompt the user for the recipient to send the message to.

Output: nothing

The extra field that allows the client to supply multiple rows of arbitrary data for a single contact created using the Intent.ACTION_INSERT or edited using Intent.ACTION_EDIT. It is an ArrayList of ContentValues, one per data row. Supplying this extra is similar to inserting multiple rows into the Data table, except the user gets a chance to see and edit them before saving. Each ContentValues object must have a value for DataColumns.MIMETYPE. If supplied values are not visible in the editor UI, they will be dropped. Duplicate data will dropped. Some fields like Email.TYPE may be automatically adjusted to comply with the constraints of the specific account type. For example, an Exchange contact can only have one phone numbers of type Home, so the contact editor may choose a different type for this phone number to avoid dropping the valueable part of the row, which is the phone number.

Example:

 ArrayList<ContentValues> data = new ArrayList<ContentValues>();
 ContentValues row1 = new ContentValues();
 row1.put(Data.MIMETYPE, Organization.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
 row1.put(Organization.COMPANY, "Android");
 data.add(row1);
 ContentValues row2 = new ContentValues();
 row2.put(Data.MIMETYPE, Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
