This includes updates to all data associated with this contact including raw contacts. Any modification (including deletes and inserts) of underlying contact data are also reflected in this timestamp. Value: "contact_last_updated_timestamp" ### DISPLAY_NAME Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val DISPLAY_NAME: String ``` The display name for the contact. Type: TEXT Value: "display_name" ### HAS_PHONE_NUMBER Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val HAS_PHONE_NUMBER: String ``` An indicator of whether this contact has at least one phone number. "1" if there is at least one phone number, "0" otherwise. Type: INTEGER Value: "has_phone_number" ### IN_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val IN_DEFAULT_DIRECTORY: String ``` Flag that reflects whether the contact exists inside the default directory. Ie, whether the contact is designed to only be visible outside search. Value: "in_default_directory" ### IN_VISIBLE_GROUP Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val IN_VISIBLE_GROUP: String ``` Flag that reflects the[Groups.GROUP_VISIBLE](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.GroupsColumns#GROUP_VISIBLE:kotlin.String)state of any[CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership)for this contact.

Value: "lookup" ### NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID Added in[API level 21](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID: String ``` Reference to the row in the RawContacts table holding the contact name. Type: INTEGER REFERENCES raw_contacts(_id) Value: "name_raw_contact_id" ### PHOTO_FILE_ID Added in[API level 14](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val PHOTO_FILE_ID: String ``` Photo file ID of the full-size photo. If present, this will be used to populate[PHOTO_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_URI:kotlin.String). The ID can also be used with[ContactsContract.DisplayPhoto.CONTENT_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.DisplayPhoto#CONTENT_URI:android.net.Uri)to create a URI to the photo. If this is present,[PHOTO_ID](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_ID:kotlin.String)is also guaranteed to be populated. Type: INTEGER Value: "photo_file_id" ### PHOTO_ID Added in[API level 5](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val PHOTO_ID: String ``` Reference to the row in the data table holding the photo. A photo can be referred to either by ID (this field) or by URI (see[PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI:kotlin.String)and[PHOTO_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_URI:kotlin.String)). If PHOTO_ID is null, consult[PHOTO_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_URI:kotlin.String)or[PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI:kotlin.String), which is a more generic mechanism for referencing the contact photo, especially for contacts returned by non-local directories (see[Directory](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.Directory)). Type: INTEGER REFERENCES data(_id) Value: "photo_id" ### PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI Added in[API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI: String ``` A URI that can be used to retrieve a thumbnail of the contact's photo. A photo can be referred to either by a URI (this field or[PHOTO_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_URI:kotlin.String)) or by ID (see[PHOTO_ID](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_ID:kotlin.String)). If PHOTO_ID is not null, PHOTO_URI and PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI shall not be null (but not necessarily vice versa). If the content provider does not differentiate between full-size photos and thumbnail photos, PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI and[PHOTO_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_URI:kotlin.String)can contain the same value, but either both shall be null or both not null. Type: TEXT Value: "photo_thumb_uri" ### PHOTO_URI Added in[API level 11](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` static val PHOTO_URI: String ``` A URI that can be used to retrieve the contact's full-size photo. If PHOTO_FILE_ID is not null, this will be populated with a URI based off[ContactsContract.DisplayPhoto.CONTENT_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.DisplayPhoto#CONTENT_URI:android.net.Uri). Otherwise, this will be populated with the same value as[PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI:kotlin.String). A photo can be referred to either by a URI (this field) or by ID (see[PHOTO_ID](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactsColumns#PHOTO_ID:kotlin.String)). If either PHOTO_FILE_ID or PHOTO_ID is not null, PHOTO_URI and PHOTO_THUMBNAIL_URI shall not be null (but not necessarily vice versa). Thus using PHOTO_URI is a more robust method of retrieving contact photos. Type: TEXT Value: "photo_uri"
