[android] Read all contacts' phone numbers in android

I'm using this code to retrieve all contact names and phone numbers:

String[] projection = new String[]
{
    People.NAME,
    People.NUMBER
};

Cursor c = ctx.getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, People.NAME + " ASC");
c.moveToFirst();

int nameCol = c.getColumnIndex(People.NAME);
int numCol = c.getColumnIndex(People.NUMBER);

int nContacts = c.getCount();

do
{
  // Do something
} while(c.moveToNext());

However, this will only return the primary number for each contact, but I want to get the secondary numbers as well. How can i do this?

In the same way just get their other numbers using the other "People" references

People.TYPE_HOME
People.TYPE_MOBILE
People.TYPE_OTHER
People.TYPE_WORK

Accepted answer working but not given unique numbers.

See this code, it return unique numbers.

public static void readContacts(Context context) {
        if (context == null)
            return;
        ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();

        if (contentResolver == null)
            return;

        String[] fieldListProjection = {
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER,
                ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER
        };

        Cursor phones = contentResolver
                .query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI
                        , fieldListProjection, null, null, null);
        HashSet<String> normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound = new HashSet<>();

        if (phones != null && phones.getCount() > 0) {
            while (phones.moveToNext()) {
                String normalizedNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER));
                if (Integer.parseInt(phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(
                        ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                    if (normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound.add(normalizedNumber)) {
                        String id = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
                        String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                        String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                        Log.d("test", " Print all values");
                    }
                }
            }
            phones.close();
        }
    }

I fixed my need belove

manifest permissions

        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
        <!-- Read Contacts from phone -->
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.read_contacts" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.read_phone_state" />
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CALL_LOG" />

Note: After giving permissions at manifest some mobile phones can deny if so you need to go Settings--> Applications--> find your application click on it and turn On the permissions needed

You can get all phone contacts using this:

    Cursor c = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
            new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
                    ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
                    ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE },
            ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + " <> 'google' ",
            null, null);

check complete example HERE...........

Here's how to use ContentsContract API to fetch your contacts in your Phone Book. You'll need to add these permissions in your AndroidManifest.xml

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

Then, you can run this method to loop through all your contacts.

Here's an example to query fields like Name and Phone Number, you can configure yourself to use CommonDataKinds, it query other fields in your Contact.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds

private fun readContactsOnDevice() {
    val context = requireContext()
    if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
            context, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS
        ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED &&
        ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(
            context, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS
        ) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED
    ) {
        requestPermissions(
            arrayOf(Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS, Manifest.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS), 1
        )
        return
    }

    val contentResolver = context.contentResolver
    val contacts = contentResolver.query(
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
        null, null, null, null
    )

    while (contacts?.moveToNext() == true) {
        val name = contacts.getString(
            contacts.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME)
        )
        val phoneNumber = contacts.getString(
            contacts.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)
        )
        Timber.i("Name: $name, Phone Number: $phoneNumber")
    }
}

Code to get contact name (Ascending order) and number

For more reference: show contact in listview

Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" ASC");
        while (phones.moveToNext())
        {
            String name=phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
            String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));


        }
        phones.close();

Following code shows an easy way to read all phone numbers and names:

Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext())
{
  String name=phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
  String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

}
phones.close();

NOTE: getContentResolver is a method from the Activity context.

This one finally gave me the answer I was looking for. It lets you retrieve all the names and phone numbers of the contacts on the phone.

package com.test;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;

public class TestContacts extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
        Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
                              null, null, null, null);
        if (cur != null && cur.getCount() > 0) {
            while (cur.moveToNext()) {

                if (Integer.parseInt.equals(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(
                            ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)))) {
                    String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(
                                ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                    String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(
                                ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
                    Cursor pCur = cr.query(
                                           ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                            null,
                            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
                                    + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
                    int i = 0;
                    int pCount = pCur.getCount();
                    String[] phoneNum = new String[pCount];
                    String[] phoneType = new String[pCount];
                    while (pCur != null && pCur.moveToNext()) {
                        phoneNum[i] = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                        phoneType[i] = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(
                                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));
                        i++;
                    }
                }

            }

        }

    }
}

Load contacts in background using CursorLoader:

  CursorLoader cursor = new CursorLoader(this, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
            Cursor managedCursor = cursor.loadInBackground();

            int number = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.DATA1);
            int name = managedCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
            int index = 0;
            while (managedCursor.moveToNext()) {
                String phNumber = managedCursor.getString(number);
                String phName = managedCursor.getString(name);
            }

In case it helps, I've got an example that uses the ContactsContract API to first find a contact by name, then it iterates through the details looking for specific number types:

How to use ContactsContract to retrieve phone numbers and email addresses

String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));

if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) 
{
    System.out.println("name : " + name + ", ID : " + id);

    // get the <span id="IL_AD4" class="IL_AD">phone
    // number</span>
    Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, 
                           null, 
                           ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);

    while (pCur.moveToNext())
    {
        String phone = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
        System.out.println("phone" + phone);
    }

pCur.close();

This code shows how to get all phone numbers for each contact.

             while (pCur.moveToNext()) {

You can get all the contact all those which have no number and all those which have no name from this piece of code

public void readContacts() {
    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
            null, null, null, ContactsContract.RawContacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY + " ASC");
    ContactCount = cur.getCount();

    if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
        while (cur.moveToNext()) {
            String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
            String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
            String phone = null;
            if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                System.out.println("name : " + name + ", ID : " + id);

                // get the phone number
                Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
                        new String[]{id}, null);
                while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
                    phone = pCur.getString(
                            pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                    System.out.println("phone" + phone);
                }
                pCur.close();
            }
            if (phone == "" || name == "" || name.equals(phone)) {
                if (phone.equals(""))
                    getAllContact.add(new MissingPhoneModelClass("No Number", name, id));
                if (name.equals("") || name.equals(phone))
                    getAllContact.add(new MissingPhoneModelClass(phone, "No Name", id));

            } else {
                if(TextUtils.equals(phone,null)){
                    getAllContact.add(new MissingPhoneModelClass("No Number", name, id));
                }
                else {
                    getAllContact.add(new MissingPhoneModelClass(phone, name, id));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

One thing can be done you have to give the permission in the manifest for contact READ and WRITE After that you can create the model class for the list which can be use to add all the contact here is the model class

public class PhoneModelClass {
private String number;
private String name;
private String id;
private String rawId;

public PhoneModelClass(String number, String name, String id, String rawId) {
    this.number = number;
    this.name = name;
    this.id = id;
    this.rawId = rawId;
}

public PhoneModelClass(String number, String name, String id) {
    this.number = number;
    this.name = name;
    this.id = id;
}

public String getRawId() {
    return rawId;
}

public void setRawId(String rawId) {
    this.rawId = rawId;
}

public String getNumber() {
    return number;
}

public void setNumber(String number) {
    this.number = number;
}

public String getName() {
    return name;
}

public void setName(String name) {
    this.name = name;
}

public String getId() {
    return id;
}

public void setId(String id) {
    this.id = id;
  }
}

Enjoy :)
