How to import postal address of contact

Question

I'm creating an Android app to write bills.

First step is to import selected contact from address book.

Everything is working fine. I get the contact from selection, but in IContact there is no information about the postal address. I can't find any documentation or explanation, how I can read it.

For me it would also be fine, to request address separately with the Contact-ID, but also about this, I can't find anything.

Answer 1

Hello,

It is not possible to get a postal address from Android contacts, and this item is not included in Android's contact information.

Please refer to ContactsContract for more detailed information.

When creating a contact in Android, you do not need to enter your own postal address.

This is for the purpose of protecting the user's personal privacy. Reading contacts is a common permission, and if this permission can read a user's postal address directly, it can lead to a number of privacy issues.

Best Regards,

Alec Liu.
