Android - Contact from number with Country Code

Question

When retrieving a mobile number from an incoming sms it has the country code appended to it.
Now as the matching contact in the database may not include the country code to get the contact name I'm using:

public static String getContactName(String number, Context context) {

    try {

        Uri personUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
            ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number.trim()));
        String selection = PhoneLookup.NUMBER + " LIKE %" + number.trim() + "%";
        Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(personUri,
            new String[] {
            PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME
        },
            selection, null, null);
        if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
            String str = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
            cur.close();
            return str;
        }
    } catch (Exception e) {
        //e.printStackTrace();
        return number;
    }
    return number;
}

This works perfectly if I pass in an exact match or a partial match. However if I want to get the contact id I'm using this code:

public static Contact getContact(String number, ContentResolver contentResolver) {

    Contact contact = new Contact(-1, number);
    try {
        Uri personUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
        String selection = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + " LIKE '%" + number + "%'";
        Cursor cur = contentResolver.query(personUri,
            new String[] {
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID, PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME
        },
            selection, null, null);
        if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
            contact = new Contact(Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID))),
                cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME)));
        }
        cur.close();
    } catch (Exception e) {}
    return contact;
}

This works perfect if the number is an exact match but if it is not it returns nothing. I need this method to find the id of the contact where its number is saved as "01111111111" and the incoming number is "+441111111111". Although they are looking at different URI's the selection code is pretty much the same so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for the second.

Any ideas?

I am using this code for the same requirement and it returns a name by returning contactId from the same code. Using this, your problem will be solved.

public static String getContactDisplayNameByNumber(String number) {
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(
            ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
            Uri.encode(number));
    String name = "?";

    ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
    Cursor contactLookup = contentResolver.query(uri, new String[] {
            BaseColumns._ID, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME },
            null, null, null);

    try {
        if (contactLookup != null && contactLookup.getCount() > 0) {
            contactLookup.moveToNext();
            name = contactLookup.getString(contactLookup
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
            // String contactId =
            // contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(BaseColumns._ID));
        }
    } finally {
        if (contactLookup != null) {
            contactLookup.close();
        }
    }

    return name;
}
