Query Contacts database, display in ListView.

The exercise "Query Contacts database" display result in TextView. It's modified to display in ListView.

Modify layout to have a ListView.

Query Contacts database, selection with AND to combine more cause.

The previous exercise demonstrate how to "Query Contacts database" for all contacts, "Search for contacts with phone number only" and "Search with selection of LIKE cause". To combine both cause to search for contacts has phone number with certain constraint in DISPLAY_NAME, combine both cause with "AND".

Change:
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " IS NOT NULL";

to:
String constraint = "Lau";
String selection =
ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1"
+ " AND "
+ ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " LIKE '%" + constraint + "%'";

Query Contacts database, search with selection of LIKE cause.

The previous exercise demonstrate how to "Query Contacts database" for all contacts. To search for contacts with certain constraint in DISPLAY_NAME, we can modify the selection using LIKE cause.

Change:
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " IS NOT NULL";

to:
String constraint = "Lau";
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " LIKE '%" + constraint + "%'";

Query Contacts database for contacts with phone number only

Last exercise "Query Contacts database" for all contacts. If you want to query contacts with phone number only, simple change the selection:

Change:
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " IS NOT NULL";

to:
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1";

Query Contacts database

This exercise demonstrate how to query Contacts database directly, to retrieve _ID and DISPLAY_NAME.

package com.example.androidquerycontacts;

import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
import android.support.v4.content.CursorLoader;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
 TextView textContacts;

 @Override
 protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
  textContacts = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.contacts);
  
  Uri queryUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
  String[] projection = new String[] {
    ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
    ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME};
  String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " IS NOT NULL";
  
  CursorLoader cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(
            this, 
            queryUri, 
            projection, 
            selection, 
            null, 
            null);
  
  Cursor cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
  
  int columnIndex_ID = cursor.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID);
  int columnIndex_DISPLAYNAME = cursor.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
  
  String myContacts = "Contacts:\n";
  
  while(cursor.moveToNext()){
   int id = cursor.getInt(columnIndex_ID);
   String displayName = cursor.getString(columnIndex_DISPLAYNAME);
   myContacts += String.valueOf(id) + " : " + displayName +"\n";
  }
  
  textContacts.setText(myContacts);
 }

Implement custom multi select ListView with custom ArrayAdapter

The post "Multi Choice ListView" demonstrate how to implement multi select ListView with build-in layout with simple TextView. This exercise demonstrate how to implement multi select ListView with custom layout, using custom ArrayAdapter.

Create /res/layout/row.xml to define the layout of rows in our custom ListView.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal">
    
    <ImageView 
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>
    <CheckedTextView
        android:id="@+id/text1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:checkMark="?android:attr/listChoiceIndicatorMultiple"
        android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
        android:paddingRight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingRight"/>
</LinearLayout>
