android phone number returned as data1

Question

I am trying to use the following code to read a phone number. But it ever returns the number as data1. How do I fix this to get the actual number?

minorCursor = contentResolver.query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE },
                    " DISPLAY_NAME = '" + name + "'", null, null);
                while (minorCursor.moveToNext()) {

                    switch (minorCursor.getInt(minorCursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE))) {
                    case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:
                        phoneNumber = Phone.NUMBER;
                        break;
                    case Phone.TYPE_HOME:
                        phoneNumber = Phone.NUMBER;
                        break;
                    case Phone.TYPE_WORK:
                        phoneNumber = Phone.NUMBER;
                        break;
                    case Phone.TYPE_OTHER:
                        phoneNumber = Phone.NUMBER;
                        break;
                    }
}

I got the code from the third response to How to retrieve Contact name and phone number in Android because I assume he is saying that the methods used by the other replies have been deprecated.

Answer 1

Try this

get your phone number like this.

String phoneNumber = minorCursor.getString(minorCursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));

You need to get phone number from cursor returned above query.

What you are trying to do is just getting the constant value in Phone class

i.e Phone.NUMBER is constant field in Phone class, it will not give you phone number
