How do I Get contactUri using contact number?

[Sirajul_Haque]

Using "ContactPicker" I got contactUri "content://com.android.contacts/contacts/lookup/3877i41d55ef28b7e8bb9/21**"

But when I got contactUri using "PhoneNumberTools" that returns"content://com.android.contacts/phone_lookup/0116422**"![blocks (17)|690x154]

When I use "ActivityStarter" then it works if I use ContactPicker contactUri but PhoneNumberTools contactUri not work.!

I want to get contactUri using phone number and which contactUri able to work in ActivityStarter to open that contact directly.Please help.

Content URIs are app specific.
And in this case there are two apps Contacts and Phone_Lookup.

You already have found two ways to get contact's uri.

Not use Uri.
Use the "GetContactId" block, then use ActivityStarter:
To display:
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
DataUri: content://contacts/people/ID

To edit:
Action: android.intent.action.EDIT
DataUri: content://contacts/people/ID

Sir, many many thanks. Your advice solved my problem.

[Sirajul_Haque]

"GetContactId" block returns same ID for two different contacts.

Will you tell the reason please?
