Hi Deepu,

I don't know weather this will solve your problem , check when ever you are retrieving the particular field value if it is null don't include that field.

Hi,

Can you tell me which method you are using to get the contact details . What is it's return type and all.

Hi bhanuchandar.k

Please go through the following code

while(items.hasMoreElements())
{
Contact c = (Contact)items.nextElement();
int namecount = c.countValues(Contact.NAME);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(30);
if(namecount > 0)
{
String[] name = null;
name = c.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
for(int q = 0; q < name.length; q++)
{
sb.append(name[q]);
}
} v.addElement(sb.toString());
String[] ret = new String[v.size()];
v.copyInto(ret);
return ret;

Hi Deepa,

while(items.hasMoreElements())
{
Contact c = (Contact)items.nextElement();
int namecount = c.countValues(Contact.NAME);
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(30);
if(namecount > 0)
{
String[] name = null;
name = c.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
for(int q = 0; q < name.length; q++)
{
if(name[q] != null)
sb.append(name[q]);
}
} v.addElement(sb.toString());
String[] ret = new String[v.size()];
v.copyInto(ret);
return ret;

You can do like If you don't want to add null to your string buffer.

One more thing When ever the contact is added to the phone it will have some extra parameter like first name, last name, formatted name etc.. if the user not entered these fields you will get null values. When ever you are retrieving that contact you have to check if it is null don't take that field. In your code.

what the documentation says is this

public java.lang.String[] getStringArray(int field,
int index)

Get an array of related values from a field in the item.

Not all elements in the array are required to be supported by the item. If an array index is not supported by this item, null is the value for the String at the array index.
