How to integrate search functionality in Android app - java

I'm trying to create an application to display the call logs based on the call type (incoming calls, outgoing calls, or missing calls). In addition I'm trying to add search and delete functionalities so the user can search for the call (by number) and delete the call. The layout of the app is shown here:
The search functionality works if I hit the 'All' button to display all calls and search by number there, but upon going to other sections to search for a number, such as received or missed, the app crashes.
So far I have managed to run the logcat on Android Studio, and found that the main issue is in my main activity file. I have attached the logcat image here:
There seems to be issues with these pieces of code: my getCalls Method, afterTextChanged Method, and my updateCursor Method.
private Cursor getCalls(int type, String searchString) {
Uri callUri = CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI;
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
String[] projection = new String[]{Calls._ID, Calls.NUMBER, Calls.DURATION, Calls.TYPE};
String selection=null;
String[] selectionArgs=null;
if(type != 0){
// filter type calls
selection = Calls.TYPE + "=?";
selectionArgs = new String[]{String.valueOf(type)};
}
if(!TextUtils.isEmpty(searchString)) {
// has some search string
if(TextUtils.isEmpty(selection)) {
// all call types
selection = Calls.NUMBER + " LIKE ?";
selectionArgs = new String[]{"%"+searchString+"%"};
} else {
// some type of call and add search String
selection = selection+" && " + Calls.NUMBER+" LIKE ?";
selectionArgs = new String[]{selectionArgs[0],"'%"+searchString+"%'"};
}
}
String order = Calls.DATE + " DESC ";
//verify permissions to access the user's call log
int permissionCheck = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(this, Manifest.permission.READ_CALL_LOG);
if (permissionCheck == PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
cursor = contentResolver.query(callUri, // URI content provider
projection,
selection,
selectionArgs,
order);
}
return cursor;
}
#Override
public void afterTextChanged(Editable s) {
updateCursor();
}
//updates the search
void updateCursor() {
if (cursor != null && !cursor.isClosed()) {
cursor.close();
cursor = null;
}
cursor = getCalls(currentCallType, searchET.getText().toString());
adapter.swapCursor(cursor);
}
Upon running the app, I expected to be able to go to different sections (for example, I go to the received call section) and search for a number, however upon going to the section and tapping on the search bar, the app crashes. I do not understand how there could be issues with these methods.

SQLException says the error is near the & symbol, so the error should be in this line:
selection = selection+" && " + Calls.NUMBER+" LIKE ?";
Let's replace it with this one, because 'AND' should be used in SQL instead of double &:
selection = selection+" AND " + Calls.NUMBER+" LIKE ?";

Rename file of the Mediastore which is created by app in android 10. Working on Android API 30 but shows error in API 29

Here, this renameFile(..) func is working in Android API 30. But, it is not working in Android API 29 and shows the error like :
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Movement of content://media/external/file/116 which isn't part of well-defined collection not allowed
Update-Note:
---Begins---
In-order to work with sdk-29 we have to use Uri as extUri = MediaStore.Downloads.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL) like:
private static Uri extUri = MediaStore.Downloads.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
in place of below code. And also update MediaStore.Files.FileColumns to MediaStore.Downloads
---Ends---
Uri extUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
String relativeLocation = Environment.DIRECTORY_DOWNLOADS + File.separator + "AppFolder";
function renameFile(...)

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Movement of content://media/external/file/116 which isn't part of well-defined collection not allowed
So it is for Android Q not allowed if you use the collection;
Uri extUri = MediaStore.Files.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
But is is allowed for a 'well-defined collection' like:
Uri extUri = MediaStore.Images.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
// Use "Pictures/MyFolder" for RELATIVE_PATH
I leave it to you to find other well-defined collections.
Why this is only for Android Q i dont know.
You can see the message in the java file: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/packages/providers/MediaProvider/+/refs/heads/master/src/com/android/providers/media/MediaProvider.java
Quote:
// We only support movement under well-defined collections
switch (match) {
case AUDIO_MEDIA_ID:
case VIDEO_MEDIA_ID:
case IMAGES_MEDIA_ID:
case DOWNLOADS_ID:
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Movement of " + uri
+ " which isn't part of well-defined collection not allowed");
}
If the rename fails use SAF (as mentioned before). How to rename a file in Android knowing only its media content Uri
I had to face the rename problem myself (Android 29) and the solution above did not suffice.
This was because I had a physical SD card on which were located the
files I wanted to rename.
Then, instruction:
extUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUri(MediaStore.VOLUME_EXTERNAL);
did not work; instead,I had to:
list the "external volumes"(according to Android terms)
Set<String> lVls = MediaStore.getExternalVolumeNames(this);
..which gave me 2 volumes:
"external_primary" (the built-in external storage)
"bc21-eafa" (the SD card external storage)
Initialize 'extUri' with that second value, like that:
extUri = MediaStore.Audio.Media.getContentUri("bc21-eafa");
Apply the rest of the procedure as described in this article.
Thanks to all !

I'm retrieving list of distinct folders list having video files with number of videos in each folder, and this is working fine in devices having Android P and below, but when I run on devices having Android Q the app crashes.
How can I make it work for devices running Android Q

My Code:
public class MediaQuery {
private Context context;
private int count = 0;
private Cursor cursor;
List<ModelVideoFolder> videoItems;
public MediaQuery(Context context) {
this.context = context;
}
public List<ModelVideoFolder> getAllVideo(String query) {
String selection = null;
String[] projection = {
"DISTINCT " + MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME,
MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID
};
cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection,
selection,
null,
query);
videoItems = new ArrayList<>();
ModelVideoFolder videoItem;
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
videoItem = new ModelVideoFolder(
"" + cursor.getString(1),
"" + cursor.getString(0),
"",
"",
"" + getVideosCount(cursor.getString(1))
);
videoItems.add(videoItem);
}
return videoItems;
}
public int getVideosCount(String BUCKET_ID) {
int count = 0;
String selection = null;
String[] projection = {
MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID,
};
Cursor cursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(
MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI,
projection,
selection,
null,
null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
if (BUCKET_ID.equals(cursor.getString(0))) {
//add only those videos that are in selected/chosen folder
count++;
}
}
return count;
}
}
This is due to the restrictions in Android Q.
In Android Q the projection must contain only valid column names without additional statements. Is not possible anymore to embed any type of SQL statement in the projection.
So, projections such as "DISTINCT " + YourColumName, or even trying to make a column alias such as "ExistingColumnName AS AnotherName" will always fail.
The workaround is to perform multiple queries (cursors) to get your required metrics, and construct with the results a CursorWrapper or MatrixCursor.
See the next issue link, where is stated this behavior as expected, since is part of the improved storage security model in Q:
https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/130965914
For your specific problem, a solution could be as next:
First query for a cursor to obtain the list of the BUCKET_ID values where all the videos are located. In the selection you can filter to target only video files by using MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE = MediaStore.Files.FileColumns.MEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO
With the retrieved cursor, iterate all the BUCKET_ID values to perform individual queries per bucket and retrieve the video records, from which you can resolve the count. While iterating keep track of each BUCKET_ID and skip any already queried. And don't forget to also perform the same MEDIA_TYPE filter selection, to avoid querying none-video files that may reside in the same bucket.
Try the next snippet based in your question code, I haven't test it but you may get an idea about how to proceed:
public static class MediaQuery
{
#NonNull
public static HashMap<String, ModelVideoFolder> get(#NonNull final Context context)
{
final HashMap<String, ModelVideoFolder> output = new HashMap<>();
final Uri contentUri = MediaStore.Video.Media.EXTERNAL_CONTENT_URI;
final String[] projection = {MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME,
MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID};
try (final Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,
projection, null, null, null))
{
if ((cursor != null) && (cursor.moveToFirst() == true))
{
final int columnBucketName = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_DISPLAY_NAME);
final int columnBucketId = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID);
do
{
final String bucketName = cursor.getString(columnBucketName);
final String bucketId = cursor.getString(columnBucketId);
if (output.containsKey(bucketId) == false)
{
final int count = MediaQuery.getCount(context, contentUri, bucketId);
final ModelVideoFolder item = new ModelVideoFolder(
bucketName, bucketId, null, null, count);
output.put(bucketId, item);
}
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
}
return output;
}
private static int getCount(#NonNull final Context context, #NonNull final Uri contentUri,
#NonNull final String bucketId)
{
try (final Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(contentUri,
null, MediaStore.Video.Media.BUCKET_ID + "=?", new String[]{bucketId}, null))
{
return ((cursor == null) || (cursor.moveToFirst() == false)) ? 0 : cursor.getCount();
}
}
}
The DISTINCT keyword actually belongs to the SELECT statement, not to a column. For example SELECT DISTINCT Country, Name FROM CountriesTable. Therefore adding DISTINCT to a column projection is a hack which randomly worked in the previous Android versions and probably stopped working in Android 10 due to some changes. Since the ContentResolver doesn't allow raw queries, you just have to filter unique folders inside your code, e. g. by using a HashSet.
I was facing the same problem. DISTINCT keyword doesn't work in Android 10, use hashset for distinct.

ContentResolver Delete

I am having trouble trying to delete a row of data with a specific ID, instead of deleting all the data that is in my database through a content provider.
Here is the delete content provider method:
#Override
public int delete(#NonNull Uri uri, #Nullable String selection,
#Nullable String[] selectionArgs) {
switch(sUriMatcher.match(uri))
{
case CARD:
selection = (selection == null) ? "1" : selection;
break;
case CARD_WITH_ID:
long id = ContentUris.parseId(uri);
selection = String.format("%s = ?", Contract.Columns._ID);
selectionArgs = new String[]{String.valueOf(id)};
break;
default:
throw new IllegalArgumentException("Illegal delete URI");
}
SQLiteDatabase db = mCardSQLite.getWritableDatabase();
int count = db.delete(Contract.TABLE_NAME, selection, selectionArgs);
if(count > 0)
{
//Notify observers of the change
getContext().getContentResolver().notifyChange(uri, null);
}
return count;
}
I'm trying to get the CARD_WITH_ID section of the switch statement to run. I can't understand why it is not.
Here is the query I'm trying to test this with
getContentResolver().delete(CardProvider.Contract.CONTENT_URI,CardProvider.Contract.Columns._ID ,null);
How can I select only one column and not all of them like I'm doing in the code above?
yes, the URI you provided to .delete() is incorrect. That means the content of uri from sUriMatcher.match(uri) you provide is CardProvider.Contract.CONTENT_URI. That URI is not URI for specific id and of course will match to CARD section
to make .delete() go into CARD_WITH_ID you need to do this:
long id = 1; //id of row that you want to delete
Uri deleteUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(CardProvider.Contract.CONTENT_URI, id);
//notice code below, not necessary to provide where and selectionArgs as CARD_WITH_ID section wil override it
getContentResolver().delete(uri, null, null);
And make sure to register that URI in sUriMatcher
static {
...
sUriMatcher.addURI(YOUR_CONTENT_AUTHORITY, YOUR_PATH + "/#", CARD_WITH_ID);

Handle sqlite database in searching

in my app searchbar is there, wheren in user types the text. Whenever a text get changes in the filed i will call a query to DB to get the related search items. But sometimes it crashes.
Here is the code i'm doing to call DB
#Override
public boolean onQueryTextChange(String newText) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
if(newText.trim().equals(""))
{
return false;
}
//showSearchSuggestions(newText);
mfilterdata = mController.get_controllerObj().getDBManager().getAllSuggestedFilter(newText);
if(mSearchadapter != null)
mSearchadapter.swapCursor(mfilterdata);
return false;
}
Here is how i m querying in DB manager
public Cursor getAllSuggestedFilter(String filterString)
{
String READ_QUERY = "SELECT * FROM " + Tbl_ITEM_TABLE + " where "+
item.TITLE + " Like" + "\"%" + filterString + "%"+"\"";
if(mcursorForFilter != null)
{
mcursorForFilter.close();
mcursorForFilter = null;
}
try
{
mcursorForFilter = getReadableDatabase().rawQuery(READ_QUERY, null);
}
catch(Exception ee)
{
}
return mcursorForFilter;
}
randomly i get exception like
java.lang.IllegalStateException: attempt to re-open an already-closed object: android.database.sqlite.SQLiteQuery (mSql = SELECT * FROM itemtable where title Like"%t%")
That's probably because you are closing the cursor in the wrong place, and trying to use it after that, but you cannot use an already closed cursor.
I would get rid of this part of the code:
if(mcursorForFilter != null) {
mcursorForFilter.close();
mcursorForFilter = null;
}
Instead, close the old cursor after you set the new one. swapCursor() returns the old Cursor, or returns null if there was not a cursor set, also returns null if the if you try to swap the same instance of the previously set cursor. Knowing that, you can try something like this:
Cursor c = mSearchadapter.swapCursor(mfilterdata);
if(c != null)
c.close();
Try that, and let me know if that helped.
Note that when you are using a Loader (LoaderManager.LoaderCallbacks), the framework is going to close the old cursor. This is what the documentation says:
onLoadFinished:
The loader will release the data once it knows the application is no
longer using it. For example, if the data is a cursor from a
CursorLoader, you should not call close() on it yourself. ...

Android set contact photo good quality without pixilization

I'm developing app to provide and set pictures for contacts from social networks, and I'm already figure out how to set picture to contact, but when I do this programmatically picture is stored in lower quality.
For example here is 2 examples, first picture is set with my app, second with native android contacts app (source picture is exactly the same for both cases):
First example
With my app:
With native app:
Second example
With my app:
With native app:
You can see pixilization on the hands and other parts.
The code I've used to set contact picture:
public static boolean setContactPhoto(long contactId, byte[] photo) {
ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
long photoId = -1;
long rawContactId = -1;
Cursor rawContactsCursor = cr.query(
ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID},
String.format("%s=%d", ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID, contactId),
null,
null
);
while (rawContactsCursor.moveToNext()) {
rawContactId = rawContactsCursor.getLong(rawContactsCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts._ID));
String where = String.format(
"%s=%d AND %s=='%s'",
ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID,
rawContactId,
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
);
Cursor dataCursor = cr.query(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.Data._ID},
where,
null,
null
);
if (dataCursor.moveToFirst()) {
photoId = dataCursor.getLong(dataCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
dataCursor.close();
break;
}
dataCursor.close();
}
rawContactsCursor.close();
if (rawContactId < 0) return false;
values.put(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
values.put(ContactsContract.Data.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY, 1);
values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO, photo);
values.put(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
if (photoId < 0) {
return cr.insert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, values) != null;
} else {
return cr.update(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, values, String.format("%s=%d", ContactsContract.Data._ID, photoId), null) == 1;
}
}
My phone has 540x960 resolution, so source pictures are 960x960, this is strange, but if I try to set 540x960 picture it is cropped from all sides and scaled up, so pixilization is bigger.
So, how to avoid such pixilization setting up contact picture programmatically?
As described in the documentation, the .photo field hold the "Thumbnail photo of the raw contact."
I think you have to set the PHOTO_FILE_ID used to "accessing full-size photos by photo file ID".
See the related ContactsContract.DisplayPhoto
