My app has a listView populated by the contacts registered on the device, but when i load the listView, it takes too long! Here is my code:
public List<Contact> getContactsList(Context context, ContentResolver contentResolver) {
List<Contact> listContatos = new ArrayList<Contact>();
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor cursorContacts = contentResolver.query(uri, null, null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE NOCASE ASC;");
try {
// while there is a next contact, retrieves your data
while (cursorContacts.moveToNext()) {
Contact c = getContact(context, cursorContacts);
if (c != null) {
listContatos.add(c);
}
}
} finally {
// Closes Cursor
cursorContacts.close();
}
return listContatos;
}
public Contact getContact(Context context, Cursor contactsCur) {
Contact c = new Contact();
// get contact id
long id = contactsCur.getLong(contactsCur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(BaseColumns._ID));
String strId = contactsCur.getString(contactsCur.getColumnIndex(BaseColumns._ID));
// get contact name
String name = contactsCur.getString(contactsCur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
boolean temFone = false;
// if return is different than 1, doesn't has phone number
temFone = "1".equals(contactsCur.getString(contactsCur.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)));
if (temFone) {
contactsCur = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[] { strId }, null);
ArrayList<PhoneNumber> phones = new ArrayList<PhoneNumber>();
while (contactsCur.moveToNext()) {
int idx = contactsCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
if (idx != -1) {
String phoneNumber = contactsCur.getString(contactsCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
int phonetype = contactsCur.getInt(contactsCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE));
String customLabel = contactsCur.getString(contactsCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL));
String phoneLabel = (String) ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.getTypeLabel(context.getResources(), phonetype, customLabel);
phones.add(new PhoneNumber(phoneLabel, phoneNumber));
}
}
c.setPhones(phones);
contactsCur.close();
} else {
c.setPhones(null);
}
loadAddress(context, c, id);
c.setContactId(id);
c.setName(name);
loadEmails(context, c, id);
loadPhotoUri(context, c, id);
return c;
}
private void loadEmails(Context context, Contact c, long id) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id,
null, null);
ArrayList<ContactMail> emails = new ArrayList<ContactMail>();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA);
if (idx != -1) {
String stremail = cursor.getString(idx);
int emailtype = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
String customLabel = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.LABEL));
String emailLabel = (String) ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.getTypeLabel(context.getResources(), emailtype, customLabel);
if (!stremail.equals(""))
emails.add(new ContactMail(stremail, emailLabel));
}
}
c.setEmails(emails);
cursor.close();
}
private void loadAddress(Context context, Contact c, long id) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id, null, null);
ArrayList<Address> addresses = new ArrayList<Address>();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.DATA);
if (idx != -1) {
String address = cursor.getString(idx);
int addresstype = cursor.getInt(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.TYPE));
String customLabel = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.LABEL));
String addressLabel = (String) ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.getTypeLabel(context.getResources(), addresstype, customLabel);
if (!address.equals(""))
addresses.add(new Address(address, addressLabel, null));
}
}
c.setAddresses(addresses);
cursor.close();
}
public void loadPhotoUri(Context context, Contact c, long id) {
Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID
+ "="
+ id
+ " AND "
+ ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE
+ "='"
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
+ "'", null, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
int idx = cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.SipAddress.DATA);
if (idx != -1) {
Uri person = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, id);
c.setPhoto( Uri.withAppendedPath(person,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY));
}
}
}
It's working just fine, perfectly, the only problem is that takes forever to get all contacts information's. I use the getContact method to get all detailed info about every contact in the device, than in getContactsList I put then in a list of Contact. The list of Contact is used by the adapter of the listView.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry about any english mistakes...
I had the same problem. Had to show all the contacts names and phone numbers - was working great but took too long.
Being new to the Android development world, I did some research about it and found the following post:
which was very useful for me.
I assume the problem is that you are making an inner query so it takes you forever. The main problems with my code was getting column indexes more then once, (so I changed it to be once just before the while cycle), and that not-very-clear inner query that I had inside my code, and found a way to take it out.
Try to use the example in that post and see if it helps (hopefully it will - because for me it was perfect!)
Good luck
