    <p>There have been several questions on SO regarding getting Contacts numbers using the Contacts API but I'd like to know if there is a way to identify that the number retrieved is a mobile number.</p> <p>The following code is often shown as a way to get a Contact's phone numbers, as it gets a list of one or more phone numbers:</p> <pre><code>String[] projection = {ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER}; String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "=1"; Cursor cursor = null; Cursor phones = null; try { cursor = managedQuery(intent.getData(), projection, selection, null, null); while (cursor.moveToNext()) { String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)); phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ contactId,null, null); while (phones.moveToNext()) { String pdata = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA)); Log.v("DATA",pdata); } } } catch (NullPointerException npe) { Log.e(TAG, "Error trying to get Contacts."); } finally { if (phones != null) { phones.close(); } if (cursor != null) { cursor.close(); } } </code></pre> <p>Whilst, this works okay, is there any way to easily identify that the phone number is a mobile type (apart from trying to pattern match with Regex).</p> <p>I suspect there must be a related piece of data, so that native apps can classify the phone number - as in the picture below:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ujg7E.jpg" alt="Phone types in Contact info"></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.
