Export the Contacts as VCF file
I have removed the exception and other error and below is my CODE :
private final String vfile = "POContactsRestore.vcf";
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
String lookupKey = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
AssetFileDescriptor fd;
try {
fd = this.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = fd.createInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) fd.getDeclaredLength()];
fis.read(buf);
String vCard = new String(buf);
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + File.separator + vfile;
FileOutputStream mFileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(path, false);
mFileOutputStream.write(vCard.toString().getBytes());
Log.d("Vcard", vCard);
} catch (Exception e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
If you can iterate through loop and get the vCard for the contacts and store it in the SDCARD.
Android Nougat Update :
Other answers code working for lots of people before Nougat update.
Please take care of :
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) fd.getDeclaredLength()];
is not working on Android Nougat.
fd.getDeclaredLength() is always return -1.
Please use below code for read bytes without any library :
byte[] buf = readBytes(fis);
public byte[] readBytes(InputStream inputStream) throws IOException {
// this dynamically extends to take the bytes you read
ByteArrayOutputStream byteBuffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// this is storage overwritten on each iteration with bytes
int bufferSize = 1024;
byte[] buffer = new byte[bufferSize];
// we need to know how may bytes were read to write them to the byteBuffer
int len = 0;
while ((len = inputStream.read(buffer)) != -1) {
byteBuffer.write(buffer, 0, len);
}
// and then we can return your byte array.
return byteBuffer.toByteArray();
}
The method readBytes() get from this answer.
Try out this. its work for me to create a .vcf file of all contact and stored it into SDCARD.
make sure all permission are give properly.
public static void getVCF()
{
final String vfile = "POContactsRestore.vcf";
Cursor phones = mContext.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null, null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
for(int i =0;i<phones.getCount();i++)
{
String lookupKey = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
AssetFileDescriptor fd;
try
{
fd = mContext.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = fd.createInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) fd.getDeclaredLength()];
fis.read(buf);
String VCard = new String(buf);
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().toString() + File.separator + vfile;
FileOutputStream mFileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(path, true);
mFileOutputStream.write(VCard.toString().getBytes());
phones.moveToNext();
Log.d("Vcard", VCard);
}
catch (Exception e1)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
In your code, you wrote one function but from where is this function called? And what is the meaning of get(View view) function? This function is not being called so it can be removed.
I've edited my answer as per your requirements and tested it with 500 Contacts to save a single vCard file with 500 contacts in my sd card.
