I am trying to get contactId of newly added contact programmatically. Contact is being added successfully and fetches the contactID from ContentProviderResult[] but contactId which I am getting is not the correct one. I have also seen this and this answer but contactId is not the correct one. Here is my code
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> contentProviderOperation = new ArrayList<>();
......
......
ContentProviderResult[] results = getActivity().getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, contentProviderOperation);
long contactId = ContentUris.parseId(results[0].uri);
I have also tried the below code:
ContentProviderResult[] results = getActivity().getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, contentProviderOperation);
Uri myContactUri = results[0].uri;
int lastSlash = myContactUri.toString().lastIndexOf("/");
int length = myContactUri.toString().length();
int contactID = Integer.parseInt((String) myContactUri.toString().subSequence(lastSlash+1, length));
But the contactId I am getting here is not the correct one. Please Correct me if I am going something wrong. Thanks in advance.
After working regularly I have find a way to find out the correct contactId by the following code:
public static int getContactIDFromNumber(String contactNumber, Context context) {
contactNumber = Uri.encode(contactNumber);
int phoneContactID = new Random().nextInt();
Cursor contactLookupCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, contactNumber), new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID}, null, null, null);
while (contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()) {
phoneContactID = contactLookupCursor.getInt(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID));
}
contactLookupCursor.close();
return phoneContactID;
}
Pass the contactId of newly added contact that is present in an arrayList. I know this is not the correct way to find the contact. But it works for me.
