I'm building an UI where I need to show a list of phone contacts in a list view.
I'm using ContactsContract.Data
and the CursorLoader
to load the data and then binding the cursor to a custom adapter (extended off of SimpleCursorAdapter
).
The issue here is that I can't figure out how to filter out the SIM contacts; a test phone I have has identical contacts on the phone as well as the SIM, which causes the listview to have duplicate entries. If I remove the SIM, the duplicates go away.
How can I make this filter out SIM contacts? I'm looking for a way to get the data using 1 query.
This is how I load my data at the moment:
Uri queryUri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE };
selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = 1 AND IS_PRIMARY = 1 AND MIMETYPE = '" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'";
cursorLoader = new CursorLoader(getActivity(), queryUri, projection, selection, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
cursor = cursorLoader.loadInBackground();
//setup adapter, bind to listview etc..
