Android Contacts, Reborn

Simplifies and wraps all Contacts Provider / ContactsContract functionality in a nice and simple Kotlin/Java API so you no longer have to deal with content resolvers and cursors.

The API provides:

  • Models for all ContactsContracts entities (e.g. Contact, RawContact, Data; name, email, phone, etc)
  • Create, read, update, delete (CRUD) operations for Contacts, RawContacts, Data, Profile, Groups, Accounts
  • Get/set/remove contact photo, thumbnail, starred, send to voicemail, custom ringtone, and default (primary) data
  • Link/unlink Contacts
  • Optional extensions for async work and permissions handling using Kotlin Coroutines
  • Planned optional support for RxJava and Kotlin Flow
  • Custom data integration

Framework-agnostic design. The core API will not force you to use RxJava, Flow, or any other frameworks. Just pure Kotlin/Java. Up to you how you want to use it.
