Question

Im using this code:

protected String getContactInfo() {
         Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
         String str = "";
         while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
          str += cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)) + ", ";
        }
        cursor.close();
        return str;
}

and after execution the string that this method returns is Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test1, Test2, Test2, Test2, Test2, Test2, Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob,

When I have only 3 contacts in the phonebook Test1, Test2, Bob

Why would this happen?

Answer 1

try this…

replace the query parameter with URI…

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);

you are trying to fetch the name from ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI and you are firing the query on ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI.
