Add support for EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX[_COUNTS|_TITLES]

[NLLAPPS]

Not sure if I am missing it but android provides Section indexer for contacts so that you can show sections per letter in contact list.
It might be be good to include it in the library.

val uriWithContactIndexes = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
.appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.Contacts.EXTRA_ADDRESS_BOOK_INDEX, "true")
.build()

Hey! You didn't miss it. I just haven't added support for it yet haha. IMO, the current APIs should technically be enough to create a similar behavior even without this extra. I'm not familiar with this so I will have to do some research on it and play around with it to see how I can nicely add it on to the existing query APIs.

In any case, I will look into implementing this as part of a future release; 0.3.3

Thanks 😃

Thanks, I have been doing it on my own until I have noticed it in ContactsCotract. Creating sections by your self have so many gotchas. For example, Pinyin, Japanese or using phonetic name etc.

ContactsContract deals with all. ContactsSectionIndexer.java and ContactsContract_ContactCountsTest.java have examples.
