Join Contact data with my table in Android

Question

I have table with contacts identified by LOOKUP_KEY and I need JOIN it with system contact data to get real name and photo. Is possible do this? Or I must read contact data for every contact item CursorAdapter and get required information about contact?

Answer 1

Maybe a CursorJoiner would do the trick?

Answer 2

The only way to do that is going to be to read the data through the Content Provider, and put it in your own database. Afterwards you can perform JOIN queries with the data.
