The following example shows how to find a contact group progrmatically. This kind of behavior might be needed in case you want to check before creating contact groups.

Header file required:

#include <cntdb.h>

CContactDatabase link against library cntmodel.lib so add following line to your .mmp file.

LIBRARY cntmodel.lib

Add following lines in .cpp file.

CContactDatabase* contactDbHandle;
TInt err;
TRAP(err, contactDbHandle= CContactDatabase::OpenL(););
if(err != KErrNone)
 {
 // Something went wrong lets bail out
 return;
 }
 
CContactIdArray* idArray = contactDbHandle->GetGroupIdListL();
CleanupStack::PushL(idArray);
TInt count = idArray->Count();
 
TInt groupId;
for(TInt i=0; i<count && iGroupExists == EFalse; i++)
	{
	CContactGroup* contact = static_cast<CContactGroup*>(contactDbHandle->OpenContactL( (*idArray) [i]));
	CleanupStack::PushL( contact );// cleanup stack contains (contact,idArray)
	TBuf<255> groupName = contact->GetGroupLabelL();
	if(groupName.Compare(/*The group label you wana search*/) == 0)//group exists
		{
		groupId= contact->Id(); // this is the group id for the searched group
		}
        else
               {
               // Group does not exist, follow the link below to create the group
               }
	contactDbHandle->CloseContactL( (*idArray)[i]);
	CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(contact);// cleanup stack contains (idArray)	
	}
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(idArray);
