Remarks
Constants for the contacts table, which contains a record per aggregate of raw contacts representing the same person. <h3>Operations</h3> <dl> <dt><b>Insert</b></dt> <dd>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 RawContacts#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 RawContacts#CONTACT_ID column of the newly inserted raw contact.</dd> <dt><b>Update</b></dt> <dd>Only certain columns of Contact are modifiable: #STARRED, #CUSTOM_RINGTONE, #SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL. Changing any of these columns on the Contact also changes them on all constituent raw contacts.</dd> <dt><b>Delete</b></dt> <dd>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.</dd> <dt><b>Query</b></dt> <dd> <ul> <li>If you need to read an individual contact, consider using #CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI instead of #CONTENT_URI.</li> <li>If you need to look up a contact by the phone number, use PhoneLookup#CONTENT_FILTER_URI PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, which is optimized for this purpose.</li> <li>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. <li>If you need to look up a contact by some data element like email address, nickname, etc, use a query against the ContactsContract.Data table. The result will contain contact ID, name etc. </ul> </dd> </dl> <h2>Columns</h2> <table class="jd-sumtable"> <tr> <th colspan='4'>Contacts</th> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#_ID</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>Row ID. Consider using #LOOKUP_KEY instead.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>String</td> <td>#LOOKUP_KEY</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>String</td> <td>DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#PHOTO_ID</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>Reference to the row in the ContactsContract.Data table holding the photo. That row has the mime type CommonDataKinds.Photo#CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE. The value of this field is computed automatically based on the CommonDataKinds.Photo#IS_SUPER_PRIMARY field of the data rows of that mime type.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#PHOTO_URI</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>int</td> <td>#IN_VISIBLE_GROUP</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>int</td> <td>#HAS_PHONE_NUMBER</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>An indicator of whether this contact has at least one phone number. "1" if there is at least one phone number, "0" otherwise.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>int</td> <td>#STARRED</td> <td>read/write</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>String</td> <td>#CUSTOM_RINGTONE</td> <td>read/write</td> <td>A custom ringtone associated with a contact. Typically this is the URI returned by an activity launched with the android.media.RingtoneManager#ACTION_RINGTONE_PICKER intent.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>int</td> <td>#SEND_TO_VOICEMAIL</td> <td>read/write</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>int</td> <td>#CONTACT_PRESENCE</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>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.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>String</td> <td>#CONTACT_STATUS</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>Contact's latest status update. Automatically computed as the latest of all constituent raw contacts' status updates.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#CONTACT_STATUS_TIMESTAMP</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>The absolute time in milliseconds when the latest status was inserted/updated.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>String</td> <td>#CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE</td> <td>read-only</td> <td> The package containing resources for this status: label and icon.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#CONTACT_STATUS_LABEL</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>The resource ID of the label describing the source of contact status, e.g. "Google Talk". This resource is scoped by the #CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>long</td> <td>#CONTACT_STATUS_ICON</td> <td>read-only</td> <td>The resource ID of the icon for the source of contact status. This resource is scoped by the #CONTACT_STATUS_RES_PACKAGE.</td> </tr> </table>
