AndroidContacts


Gradle Dependency

Step 1. Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:

allprojects {
 repositories {
  ...
  maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
    }
}

Step 2. Add the dependency

dependencies {
 implementation("com.github.blainepwnz:AndroidContacts:1.14.0")
}

Basic Usage

The minimum API level supported by this library is API 15. Library is not handling 23+ API permission.

Need to add permission to read contacts in manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
Basic usage
  1. Get all contacts from android device
  2. Get specific data from contacts
  3. Querying inside contacts
  4. Save new contacts
  5. Delete contacts
  6. Managing blocked contacts

Type of fields you can get

  • Phones
  • Emails
  • Addresses
  • Groups
  • Websites
  • Nickname
  • Note
  • SIP
  • Name
  • Events
  • Relations
  • Photo
  • Instant Messenger Addresses
  • Lookup key
  • Is favorite

Easiest way to get all data by one time:

new ContactsGetterBuilder(ctx)
    .allFields()
    .buildList();

Querying

Example: query that gets all contacts with photo and containing sequence "abc" in name.

new ContactsGetterBuilder(ctx)
    .onlyWithPhotos()
    .addField(FieldType.EMAILS, FieldType.ADDRESS)
    .withNameLike("abc");

Saving new contacts

ContactData data = ContactDataFactory.createEmpty();
...Fill it with data
// id of newly created contact
int id = new ContactsSaverBuilder(context)
    .saveContact(data);

Deleting contacts

val contactData = /* get contact data from somewhere */
val deleter = ContactsDeleter(context)
//usual delete with no need of callbacks
deleter.deleteContact(contactData)
//full range of callbacks, implement any you need
deleter.deleteContact(contactData) {
    onCompleted { }
    onFailure { }
    onResult { }
    doFinally { }
}
