Constants

public static final String DISPLAY_NAME

Since: API Level 5

The display name for the contact.

Type: TEXT

Constant Value: "display_name"

public static final String HAS_PHONE_NUMBER

Since: API Level 5

An indicator of whether this contact has at least one phone number. "1" if there is at least one phone number, "0" otherwise.

Type: INTEGER

Constant Value: "has_phone_number"

public static final String IN_VISIBLE_GROUP

Since: API Level 5

Lookup value that reflects the GROUP_VISIBLE state of any ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership for this contact.

Constant Value: "in_visible_group"

public static final String LOOKUP_KEY

Since: API Level 5

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.

Constant Value: "lookup"

public static final String PHOTO_ID

Since: API Level 5

Reference to the row in the data table holding the photo. A photo can be referred to either by ID (this field) or by URI (see PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI and PHOTO_URI). If PHOTO_ID is null, consult PHOTO_URI or PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI, which is a more generic mechanism for referencing the contact photo, especially for contacts returned by non-local directories (see ContactsContract.Directory).

Type: INTEGER REFERENCES data(_id)

Constant Value: "photo_id"

public static final String PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI

Since: API Level 11

A URI that can be used to retrieve a thumbnail of the contact's photo. A photo can be referred to either by a URI (this field or PHOTO_URI) or by ID (see PHOTO_ID). If PHOTO_ID is not null, PHOTO_URI and PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI shall not be null (but not necessarily vice versa). If the content provider does not differentiate between full-size photos and thumbnail photos, PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI and PHOTO_URI can contain the same value, but either both shell be null or both not null.

Type: TEXT

Constant Value: "photo_thumb_uri"

public static final String PHOTO_URI

Since: API Level 11

A URI that can be used to retrieve the contact's full-size photo. A photo can be referred to either by a URI (this field) or by ID (see PHOTO_ID). If PHOTO_ID is not null, PHOTO_URI and PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI shall not be null (but not necessarily vice versa). Thus using PHOTO_URI is a more robust method of retrieving contact photos.

Type: TEXT

Constant Value: "photo_uri"
