Open Contact information in Contact List using Phone Number of Contact Android Studio

0 votes
I'm developing a simple app that deals with phone numbers.

My concern is that I have a phone number in my phone's Contact List. as in 0877777777

I want to dial that phone number to access those contacts.

Just to be clear, I refer to my phone's contacts when I talk about my contact list.

I would be grateful if someone could assist me.

You must first obtain the contact's CONTACT ID before using it in an Intent to the external app in order to access the contact's profile in the stock contacts app:

String number = "0877777777";
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
String[] projection = new String[]{ PhoneLookup._ID };

Cursor cur = getContentresolver().query(uri, projection, null, null, null);

// if other contacts have that phone as well, we simply take the first contact found.
if (cur != null && cur.moveToNext()) {
    Long id = cur.getLong(0);

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(id));
    intent.setData(contactUri);
    context.startActivity(intent);

    cur.close();
}
