I have a sample app where the contacts in my android phone are listed and I can search for them. However, very often the contacts are listed twice. I only want them to be listed once. What should I change in my code to fix this? I've posted the relevant parts of my code below.
I did try here how to remove duplicate contacts from arraylist but I couldn't modify the code sufficiently to suit my needs.
