what is the meaning of suggestions in a Content Provider Uri?

I've got a Uri as below: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/#/suggestions What data will it return? What's the meaning of 'suggestions' here?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • The Contacts API references the ContactsContract helper classes for dealing with contacts. "suggestions" is the string identifying the AggregationSuggestions sub-table (note the constant called CONTENT_DIRECTORY), which is used to provide information about how RawContacts that appear to describe the same person are aggregated into a single Contact.
