Hi

What is the best way to find a contact from a phone number ?

I know I can use

Code:
QContactManager.contacts(QContactPhoneNumber::match(phonenumber));
but it only finds the contact if the phone numbers is exactly equal, and that I can be almost sure isn't the case !

How do you do it ?

(I'm using QT on Maemo5)

Dial the number and the phone app will display the contact name on screen unless you've entered it twice...

Works for me!

EDIT:

Just read your post again and see your point...

Scout will find a partial phone number, though.

OK, I asked for that one NokTokDaddy

What I meant is of course how I find a contact from my program, using QT ?

Kim, you are obviously in a higher technical orbit than me!

Good luck in your search!

just install scout package from repository (it's version 0.0.6 so I assume it's from devel or testing. Anyway, works great.)

Oh, messed scout with extended-contacts-search. The last one adds ability to native contacts application.

Use QContactManager::contactIds(...)
You can pass QContactFilter as a parameter.

E: I haven't tried this but use QContactDetailFilter as filter and set QContactPhoneNumber as detailDefinitionName and set part of phone number to value.

looks like you would also need MatchFlag MatchContains to do what he wants

never tried it though

Hi

I have tested with QContactManager::contactIds(...) with different combinations of match flags, but my problem remains

Basically my problem boils down to the following :

I am looking for the contact with phone number +45 123 456 but in the contact the number is 123 456.

Ideally the match flag QContactFilter::MatchPhoneNumber should be able to find the contact (at least as I read the description) :

The search term is considered to be in the form of a phone number, and special processing (removing dialing prefixes, non significant characters like '-'. ')' etc). may be performed when matching the item.
but in my tests it does not find the contact

int_ua : I haven't tried with extended-contacts-search but probably will.

Kim
