When I select contact name and address from contact list address data not retrieved

Question

I need to get contact name and relevant address from contact list in android. I get the contact name and their phone number, but unfortunately unable to get the address details. When I select the contact address, it will return null every time.

I searched the google as well as stackoverflow. But unable to find a solution. When I searched I found that, address details are in another separate table, but I searched that table with id, but didn't return the data from the address table. So please help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance,

Please find the code snippet which I used to get the contact details,

package com.contact.contacts;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
        listView.setOnItemClickListener(this);

        Cursor cur_phone = getContentResolver().query(
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
                null, null);
        while (cur_phone.moveToNext()) {

            String name = cur_phone
                    .getString(cur_phone
                            .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));

            String phoneNumber = cur_phone

            String id = cur_phone.getString(cur_phone
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

            System.out.println("Cursor size : contact Name : "+name);
            System.out.println("Cursor size : contact number : "+phoneNumber);

        Cursor cursor_address = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
        cursor_address.close();

        // get the data package containg the postal information for the contact
        cursor_address = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, 
            new String[]{ StructuredPostal.STREET,

                StructuredPostal.POSTCODE},
                ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=? AND " +
                    StructuredPostal.MIMETYPE + "=?",
                new String[]{String.valueOf(id), StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
                null);

        cursor_address.moveToFirst();
        System.out.println("Cursor size : Outside while");

        while (cursor_address.moveToNext()) {
            System.out.println("Cursor size : Inside while");
            // This while statement is not running

        if(cursor_address != null && cursor_address.moveToFirst())
        {
            if (cursor_address.getCount() > 0) {
                String Street = cursor_address.getString(cursor_address.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.STREET));
                System.out.println("Address : "+Street);
                String Postcode = cursor_address.getString(cursor_address.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.POSTCODE));
                String City = cursor_address.getString(cursor_address.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.CITY));
            }
            else
            {
                System.out.println("Cursor is : " + cursor_address);
                Log.i("Contact : ", "Cursor :" + cursor_address);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println("Cursor Null : " + cursor_address);
            Log.i("Contact App : ", "Cursor null" + cursor_address);
        }
        }
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

public ArrayList<String> getName(){

        ArrayList<String> mdetail=new ArrayList<String>();

        SQLiteDatabase db = this.getWritableDatabase();
        String selectQuery = "SELECT "+COLUMN_PERSON_NAME+" from "+TABLE_DETAIL;

        Cursor mCursor = db.rawQuery(selectQuery, null);

        if(mCursor.moveToFirst()){          
            do {
                mdetail.add(mCursor.getString(mCursor.getColumnIndex(COLUMN_PERSON_NAME)));

            } while (mCursor.moveToNext());
        }
        mCursor.close();
        db.close();
        return mdetail;
    }



if Your data is Sucessfully added in your database just use this code to retreive from database and show in list view like this....


if (!db.exists()) {
         } else {
             mListName=baseManager.getName();
             listview.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,mListName));
         }
