Summary

Constants
String	ACCOUNT_TYPE_AND_DATA_SET A concatenation of the account type and data set (delimited by a forward slash) - if the data set is empty, this will be the same as the account type.
String	AGGREGATION_MODE The aggregation mode for this contact.
String	BACKUP_ID Persistent unique id for each raw_contact within its account.
String	CONTACT_ID A reference to the ContactsContract.Contacts._ID that this data belongs to.
String	DATA_SET The data set within the account that this row belongs to.
String	DELETED The "deleted" flag: "0" by default, "1" if the row has been marked for deletion.
String	METADATA_DIRTY This constant was deprecated in API level 30. This column never actually worked since added. It will not supported as of Android version Build.VERSION_CODES.R.
String	RAW_CONTACT_IS_READ_ONLY The "read-only" flag: "0" by default, "1" if the row cannot be modified or deleted except by a sync adapter.
String	RAW_CONTACT_IS_USER_PROFILE Flag that reflects whether this raw contact belongs to the user's personal profile entry.

Constants

ACCOUNT_TYPE_AND_DATA_SET

Added in API level 21

public static final String ACCOUNT_TYPE_AND_DATA_SET

A concatenation of the account type and data set (delimited by a forward slash) - if the data set is empty, this will be the same as the account type. For applications that need to be aware of the data set, this can be used instead of account type to distinguish sets of data. This is never intended to be used for specifying accounts.

This column does *not* escape forward slashes in the account type or the data set. If this is an issue, consider using ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE and ContactsContract.RawContacts.DATA_SET directly.

Constant Value: "account_type_and_data_set"

AGGREGATION_MODE

Added in API level 5

public static final String AGGREGATION_MODE

The aggregation mode for this contact.

Type: INTEGER

Constant Value: "aggregation_mode"

BACKUP_ID

Added in API level 24

public static final String BACKUP_ID

Persistent unique id for each raw_contact within its account. This id is provided by its own data source, and can be used to backup metadata to the server. This should be unique within each set of account_name/account_type/data_set

Constant Value: "backup_id"

CONTACT_ID

Added in API level 5

public static final String CONTACT_ID

A reference to the ContactsContract.Contacts._ID that this data belongs to.

Type: INTEGER

Constant Value: "contact_id"

DATA_SET

Added in API level 14

public static final String DATA_SET

The data set within the account that this row belongs to. This allows multiple sync adapters for the same account type to distinguish between each others' data. This is empty by default, and is completely optional. It only needs to be populated if multiple sync adapters are entering distinct data for the same account type and account name.

Type: TEXT

Constant Value: "data_set"

DELETED

Added in API level 5

public static final String DELETED

The "deleted" flag: "0" by default, "1" if the row has been marked for deletion. When ContentResolver.delete(Uri, Bundle) is called on a raw contact, it is marked for deletion and removed from its aggregate contact. The sync adaptor deletes the raw contact on the server and then calls ContactResolver.delete once more, this time passing the ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER query parameter to finalize the data removal.

Type: INTEGER

Constant Value: "deleted"

METADATA_DIRTY

Added in API level 24
Deprecated in API level 30

public static final String METADATA_DIRTY

This constant was deprecated in API level 30.
This column never actually worked since added. It will not supported as of Android version Build.VERSION_CODES.R.

Flag indicating that a raw contact's metadata has changed, and its metadata needs to be synchronized by the server.

Type: INTEGER (boolean)

Constant Value: "metadata_dirty"

RAW_CONTACT_IS_READ_ONLY

Added in API level 11

public static final String RAW_CONTACT_IS_READ_ONLY

The "read-only" flag: "0" by default, "1" if the row cannot be modified or deleted except by a sync adapter. See ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER.

Type: INTEGER

Constant Value: "raw_contact_is_read_only"

RAW_CONTACT_IS_USER_PROFILE

Added in API level 14

public static final String RAW_CONTACT_IS_USER_PROFILE

Flag that reflects whether this raw contact belongs to the user's personal profile entry.

Constant Value: "raw_contact_is_user_profile"
