Hello All,

Does anyone know how to retrieve email ids from added contacts.

I was able to add email ids programmatically using the following code snippet below, but I could not retrieve it ! :(

try { ContentValues person = new ContentValues(); person.put(Contacts.People.NAME, "Smith John, Mr."); person.put(Contacts.People.COMPANY, "Test Company"); person.put(Contacts.People.NOTES, "eNotes");

Uri newPerson = PhoneBook.this.getContentResolver().insert( Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, person);

if (newPerson != null) { List pathList = newPerson.getPathSegments(); String pathLeaf = (String) pathList .get(pathList.size() - 1);

// add mobile phone number ContentValues number = new ContentValues(); number.put(Contacts.Phones.PERSON_ID, pathLeaf); number.put(Contacts.Phones.NUMBER, "(408) 111-1111"); number.put(Contacts.Phones.TYPE, Contacts.Phones.MOBILE_TYPE); Uri phoneUpdate = PhoneBook.this.getContentResolver() .insert(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI, number); if (phoneUpdate == null) { throw new Exception( "Failed to insert mobile phone number"); }

// add fax number number = new ContentValues(); number.put(Contacts.Phones.PERSON_ID, pathLeaf); number.put(Contacts.Phones.NUMBER, "(408) 111-1111-1"); number.put(Contacts.Phones.TYPE, Contacts.Phones.WORK_FAX_TYPE); phoneUpdate = PhoneBook.this.getContentResolver().insert( Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI, number); if (phoneUpdate == null) { throw new Exception("Failed to insert work fax number"); }

// add email ContentValues email = new ContentValues(); email.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.PERSON_ID, pathLeaf); email.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.KIND, Contacts.ContactMethods.EMAIL_KIND); email.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.DATA, "hara...@gmail.com"); email.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.TYPE, Contacts.ContactMethods.EMAIL_KIND_PRIMARY_TYPE); Uri emailUpdate = PhoneBook.this.getContentResolver() .insert( Uri.withAppendedPath(newPerson, Contacts.ContactMethods.CONTENT_URI .getPath().substring(1)), email); if (emailUpdate == null) { throw new Exception("Failed to insert primary email"); }

// add postal address ContentValues address = new ContentValues(); address.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.PERSON_ID, pathLeaf); address.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.KIND, Contacts.ContactMethods.POSTAL_KIND); address.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.DATA, "Baker Street 14\n54123 New Hampshire"); address.put(Contacts.ContactMethods.TYPE, Contacts.ContactMethods.POSTAL_KIND_POSTAL_TYPE); Uri addressUpdate = PhoneBook.this.getContentResolver() .insert( Uri.withAppendedPath(newPerson, Contacts.ContactMethods.CONTENT_URI .getPath().substring(1)), address); if (addressUpdate == null) { throw new Exception("Failed to insert primary email"); } }

} catch (Exception e) { Log.e("GuiAndroid", "Failed to add contact due to:" + e, e);

}
