Get only email address from contact list Android

by

Here is my super fast query to pull email addresses. It is much faster than pulling all contact columns as suggested by other answers…

public ArrayList<String> getNameEmailDetails() {
    ArrayList<String> emlRecs = new ArrayList<String>();
    HashSet<String> emlRecsHS = new HashSet<String>();
    Context context = getActivity();
    ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
    String[] PROJECTION = new String[] { ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID, 
            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_ID,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, 
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTACT_ID };
    String order = "CASE WHEN " 
            + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME 
            + " NOT LIKE '%@%' THEN 1 ELSE 2 END, " 
            + ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME 
            + ", " 
            + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA
            + " COLLATE NOCASE";
    String filter = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA + " NOT LIKE ''";
    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, filter, null, order);
    if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            // names comes in hand sometimes
            String name = cur.getString(1);
            String emlAddr = cur.getString(3);

            // keep unique only
            if (emlRecsHS.add(emlAddr.toLowerCase())) {
                emlRecs.add(emlAddr);
            }
        } while (cur.moveToNext());
    }

    cur.close();
    return emlRecs;
}

I tried the code provided by ‘Agarwal Shankar’ but it took about 4 seconds to get contacts on my test device, and this code took about 0.04 sec.
