How to remove a contact programmatically in android

by

To delete all contacts use the following code:

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
    Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
            null, null, null, null);
    while (cur.moveToNext()) {
        try{
            String lookupKey = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
            Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI, lookupKey);
            System.out.println("The uri is " + uri.toString());
            cr.delete(uri, null, null);
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getStackTrace());
        }
    }

To delete any specific contact modify the query

cr.delete(uri, null, null);

Hope it helps!
