ContactsContract.RawContacts.Entity

Class Overview

A sub-directory of a single raw contact that contains all of its ContactsContract.Data rows. To access this directory append CONTENT_DIRECTORY to the raw contact URI. See ContactsContract.RawContactsEntity for a stand-alone table containing the same data.

Entity has two ID fields: _ID for the raw contact and DATA_ID for the data rows. Entity always contains at least one row, even if there are no actual data rows. In this case the DATA_ID field will be null.

Using Entity should be preferred to using two separate queries: RawContacts followed by Data. The reason is that Entity reads all data for a raw contact in one transaction, so there is no possibility of the data changing between the two queries.
