Remarks

The contract between the contacts provider and applications. Contains definitions for the supported URIs and columns. These APIs supersede Contacts.

<h3>Overview</h3>

ContactsContract defines an extensible database of contact-related information. Contact information is stored in a three-tier data model:

<ul> <li> A row in the Data table can store any kind of personal data, such as a phone number or email addresses. The set of data kinds that can be stored in this table is open-ended. There is a predefined set of common kinds, but any application can add its own data kinds. </li> <li> A row in the RawContacts table represents a set of data describing a person and associated with a single account (for example, one of the user's Gmail accounts). </li> <li> A row in the Contacts table represents an aggregate of one or more RawContacts presumably describing the same person. When data in or associated with the RawContacts table is changed, the affected aggregate contacts are updated as necessary. </li> </ul>

Other tables include:

<ul> <li> Groups, which contains information about raw contact groups such as Gmail contact groups. The current API does not support the notion of groups spanning multiple accounts. </li> <li> StatusUpdates, which contains social status updates including IM availability. </li> <li> AggregationExceptions, which is used for manual aggregation and disaggregation of raw contacts </li> <li> Settings, which contains visibility and sync settings for accounts and groups. </li> <li> SyncState, which contains free-form data maintained on behalf of sync adapters </li> <li> PhoneLookup, which is used for quick caller-ID lookup</li> </ul>

Constructors

ContactsContract()

Fields

Authority	The authority for the contacts provider
CallerIsSyncadapter	An optional URI parameter for insert, update, or delete queries that allows the caller to specify that it is a sync adapter.
DeferredSnippeting	A key to a boolean in the "extras" bundle of the cursor.
DeferredSnippetingQuery	Key to retrieve the original deferred snippeting from the cursor on the client side.
DirectoryParamKey	Query parameter that should be used by the client to access a specific `Directory`.
LimitParamKey	A query parameter that limits the number of results returned for supported URIs.
PrimaryAccountName	A query parameter specifing a primary account.
PrimaryAccountType	A query parameter specifing a primary account.
RemoveDuplicateEntries	A boolean parameter for `CommonDataKinds.Phone#CONTENT_URI Phone.CONTENT_URI`, `CommonDataKinds.Email#CONTENT_URI Email.CONTENT_URI`, and `CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal#CONTENT_URI StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI`.
StrequentPhoneOnly	A boolean parameter for `Contacts#CONTENT_STREQUENT_URI` and `Contacts#CONTENT_STREQUENT_FILTER_URI`, which requires the ContactsProvider to return only phone-related results.
