I ran into the problem while fetching contact using ContentResolver.
Contact list shows contact with spaces, but after fetching contact using content resolver it removing all spaces.
Contact list : +91 XXXXX XXXXX
After fetch : +91XXXXXXXXXX (Wrong removing spaces)
However it's not removing character if number is
Contact list : +1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX
After fetch : +1 (XXX) XXX-XXXX (Correct as it is)
Below code is used to fetch contact
String order = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC";
String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME};
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection,
null, null, order);
The CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER field can contain a number in any format, not necessarily a user displayable friendly one.
To format the number for display to the user, you can use the libphonenumber package by Google, which parses a phone number and allows you to format it into either a user friendly format, or the canonical e164 format useful for storing and comparing.
