Identity
class Identity : ContactsContract.DataColumnsWithJoins
A data kind representing an Identity related to the contact.
This can be used as a signal by the aggregator to combine raw contacts into contacts, e.g. if two contacts have Identity rows with the same NAMESPACE and IDENTITY values the aggregator can know that they refer to the same person.

Constants
CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
static val CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE: String
MIME type used when storing this in data table.
Value: "vnd.android.cursor.item/identity"
static val EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX: String
Add this query parameter to a URI to get back row counts grouped by the address book index as cursor extras. For most languages it is the first letter of the sort key. This parameter does not affect the main content of the cursor.
Example:
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
Uri uri = Contacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
.appendQueryParameter(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX, "true")
.build();
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri,
new String[] {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME},
null, null, null);
Bundle bundle = cursor.getExtras();
if (bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES) &&
bundle.containsKey(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS)) {
String sections[] =
bundle.getStringArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES);
int counts[] = bundle.getIntArray(Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS);
}
Value: "android.provider.extra.ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX"
static val EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS: String
The array of group counts for the corresponding group. Contains the same number of elements as the EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES array.
TYPE: int[]
Value: "android.provider.extra.ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_COUNTS"
static val EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES: String
The array of address book index titles, which are returned in the same order as the data in the cursor.
TYPE: String[]
Value: "android.provider.extra.ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX_TITLES"
IDENTITY
static val IDENTITY: String
The identity string.
Type: TEXT
Value: "data1"
NAMESPACE
static val NAMESPACE: String
The namespace of the identity string, e.g. "com.google"
Type: TEXT
Value: "data2"
