    <p>For more than two days now, I'm trying to grab a list of all contacts, from the internal addressbook (no facebook-, gmail- or twittercontacts) with their family- and givenname.</p> <p>I managed to get a list with all contacts, socialcontacts included. So I looked at the account_types and saw that on my HTC Desire all the internal addressbook-contacts were from "com.htc.android.pcsc" and I was like "Great, I just have to filter the whole list". But then all people with non-htc android cellphones would be unable to use my app, if I would hardcode this filter.</p> <p>Next idea was to let the user choose which account he wants to use, but unfortunately the "com.htc.android.pcsc" didn't appear in the list I got from the AccountManager?!?</p> <p>So my question is: Is there any standardized way to access the internal adressbook? I'm really stuck with that and any hint is highly appreciated!</p> <p><strong>/edit:</strong> Maybe i didn't make my self clear enough. I <em>can</em> grab a contactlist, via the ContactsContract API:</p> <pre><code>ArrayList phoneContacts = new ArrayList(); String[] projection = new String[] { Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME }; String selection = Data.MIMETYPE+" = '"+ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE+"'"; Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, projection, selection, null, null); while (cursor.moveToNext()) { phoneContacts.add(...); } cursor.close();</code></pre> <p>But then I have contacts from all the different accounttypes, like com.google / com.htc.socialnetwoork.facebook, etc.</p> <p>And my question is: How can I filter all these socialnetwork- and gmailcontacts out, so I have a list with contacts, which are only from my internal addressbook?</p> <p><strong>/edit2:</strong> I found an example which describe the same difficulty I have: <a href="http://forum.synthesis.ch/showthread.php?t=2057" rel="nofollow">http://forum.synthesis.ch/showthread.php?t=2057</a> Synthesis AG had the same problem with their SyncML, that people complaining that they can't sync with their internal addressbook/phonebook only with gmail, facebook, etc. But they managed to seperate the internal addressbook from all these other accounttypes. So there must be a way to solve this problem, but I can't figure out how. Please help!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
