I dont want emails . I want to extract phone numbers only

[mudassirzulfiqar]

Hey The library is awesome and build very well. I want to implement phone numbers not email . There should be an optional argument for both contact phone number and contact email.

Also it would be nice if I could get only contact with email addresses. Nice library btw :-)

You should add:
contactPicker.putExtra(ContactPickerActivity.CP_EXTRA_SELECTION, CP_SELECTION); contactPicker.putExtra(ContactPickerActivity.CP_EXTRA_SELECTION_ARGS, CP_SELECTION_ARGS);

and
public static final String CP_SELECTION = "(" + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=?)"; public static final String [] CP_SELECTION_ARGS = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };

Here is the solution. For emails only please refer the closed issue #1

    public void launchContactPicker(View view) {
    Intent contactPicker = new Intent(this, ContactPickerActivity.class);

    //phone numbers only
    String customSelection = "(" + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=? )";
    String [] customArgs = new String [] {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};
    contactPicker.putExtra(ContactPickerActivity.CP_EXTRA_SELECTION,customSelection);
    contactPicker.putExtra(ContactPickerActivity.CP_EXTRA_SELECTION_ARGS, customArgs);
    contactPicker.putExtra(ContactPickerActivity.CP_EXTRA_HAS_CUSTOM_SELECTION_ARGS, true); 
                                                                                                            
    startActivityForResult(contactPicker, CONTACT_PICKER_REQUEST);}
