Android - Profile CONTENT_URI returning zero count cursor

According to the solution here, I want to get the profile info of the device owner in Android contact.

String[] columnNames = new String[] {ContactsContract.Profile.DISPLAY_NAME};
Cursor c = this.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Profile.CONTENT_URI, columnNames, null, null, null);
int count = c.getCount();

Permissions are added in manifest,

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PROFILE"/>

I have added valid name and number in contact. I am getting count = 0., My expectation is to get nonzero count. What could be the possible reason?

Solution

  • According to the answer from this post, AndroidManifest.xml should include the proper permission,

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS"/>
