ContactsContract

The authority for the contacts provider

An optional URI parameter for insert, update, or delete queries that allows the caller to specify that it is a sync adapter. The default value is false. If true DIRTY is not automatically set and the "syncToNetwork" parameter is set to false when calling notifyChange(android.net.Uri, android.database.ContentObserver, boolean). This prevents an unnecessary extra synchronization, see the discussion of the delete operation in ContactsContract.RawContacts.

A key to a boolean in the "extras" bundle of the cursor. The boolean indicates that the provider did not create a snippet and that the client asking for the snippet should do it (true means the snippeting was deferred to the client).

Key to retrieve the original deferred snippeting from the cursor on the client side.

Query parameter that should be used by the client to access a specific ContactsContract.Directory. The parameter value should be the _ID of the corresponding directory, e.g. content://com.android.contacts/data/emails/filter/acme?directory=3

A query parameter that limits the number of results returned. The parameter value should be an integer.

A query parameter specifing a primary account. This parameter should be used with PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_TYPE. The contacts provider handling a query may rely on this information to optimize its query results. For example, in an email composition screen, its implementation can specify an account when obtaining possible recipients, letting the provider know which account is selected during the composition. The provider may use the "primary account" information to optimize the search result.

A query parameter specifing a primary account. This parameter should be used with PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_NAME. See the doc in PRIMARY_ACCOUNT_NAME.

A boolean parameter for Phone.CONTENT_URI, Email.CONTENT_URI, and StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI. This enables a content provider to remove duplicate entries in results.

A boolean parameter for CONTENT_STREQUENT_URI and CONTENT_STREQUENT_FILTER_URI, which requires the ContactsProvider to return only phone-related results. For example, frequently contacted person list should include persons contacted via phone (not email, sms, etc.)

A content:// style uri to the authority for the contacts provider

This method can be used to identify whether the given ID is associated with profile data. It does not necessarily indicate that the ID is tied to valid data, merely that accessing data using this ID will result in profile access checks and will only return data from the profile.
