How to get only updated contacts from the ANDROID side #85

Closed Tracklous closed 5 years ago

Tracklous commented 5 years ago

Hello All,

My concern is regarding getAll function while fetching contacts from an Android device. I'm getting all contacts whenever I call for the contacts but that's a very heavy operation as far as I know.

I'm looking for a way where I can get only updated contacts so that I can process only that chunk of data. Please revert as soon as possible.

What’s an “updated Contact”? On Jan 16, 2019, 1:00 AM -0700, Ankit Khudania notifications@github.com, wrote:

is there any function in this library which will give us callback or some flag where we get to know that some contacts are deleted from the phone.

After deleting the Contacts? I'm confused what you're asking about.

@joshuapinter Look initially, We get all contacts! Right. -----> Just suppose we got [Ankit, Joshuapinter, Tracklous, Joshua, Peter, Jack, Sam] But later few of them deleted from the device. [Ankit, Joshua] --- removed -----> So this time we'll get [Joshuapinter, Tracklous, Peter, Jack, Sam]

But I'm asking, is there any way by that I can get the list of the deleted item instead of the remaining. item. expected ---> [Ankit, Joshua]

Does Android provide a flag for deleted items? Wouldn't they just be deleted from the device?

You'll have to do some research and find out for yourself. When you do find out, post a reply back here to help myself and others if they ever need something like this.
