A special class of data items, used to refer to types of data that can be used to attempt to start communicating with a person (Phone and Email). Note that this is NOT a separate data kind. This URI allows the ContactsProvider to return a unified result for data items that users can use to initiate communications with another contact. Phone and Email are the current data types in this category.

Constants

EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX

public static final String EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX

Add this query parameter to a URI to get back row counts grouped by the address book index as cursor extras. For most languages it is the first letter of the sort key. This parameter does not affect the main content of the cursor.

 Example:

 import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;

 Uri uri = Contacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
          .appendQueryParameter(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX, "true")
          .build();
 Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri,
          new String[] {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME},
          null, null, null);
 Bundle bundle = cursor.getExtras();
 if (bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES) &&
         bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS)) {
     String sections[] =
             bundle.getStringArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES);
     int counts[] = bundle.getIntArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS);
 }
