Question

Hi am using this code for getting contacts from Android contact list last parameter in below method i.e null

Can anyone tell me how to sort contact list alphabatically? which parameter I passed so I will get desired output:

Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
            null, null, null);

You can sort contact alphabetically using

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver.query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

Use Upper() as it will work for both lower as well as upper case contact name.

    ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();

    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
            null, null,  "upper("+ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + ") ASC");
