Flash-forward to few weeks later, when we were on Skype, saying and doing things we’d only done in person. We went out for dinner and spent an amazing night together, before he had to fly home to his life on the East Coast.
Manage Print Subscription / Tax Receiptįollow year, I met a smart, handsome man while he was visiting my city on a business trip. I already force contacts re-sync for Google and Skype accounts, but this did not help. Maybe there is some 'Skype sync settings' which should be activated within the Skype app or Within Android? I understand my solution is the result of some kind of 'reverse-engineering-like method' and is not 'official' at all, but maybe someone else did the same kind of investigation I did and could find a solution? The Skype Content Provider only has data for mimeType "/" // I mentioned above. So, all this works fine an I decided to test my code on some other devices, where I installed Skype and used it with same Skype account + same Google account and, BOOM, here is the problem: It does even sometimes refer some contact which is NOT a Google contact, but, for example, a WhatsApp contact!Ģ.3 - the Phone mimeType "/"ĭoes not contain Skype ID (in field data1), but instead the phone number, which makes sense. If this rawContact has a contactId, then this allows me to find the original Contact (vs RawContact) The lookup = 1450iSkype_288 can be parsed to obtain 288 which is the RawcontactId of some other contact! Mimetype = /ĮDIT: this trick does not work anymore -> 
Using info obtained in point 1, I could query the Skype ContentProvider (using selection + "= ? " and selectionArgs "" ) and obtain data which must be 'interpreted' according to the mimeType (one of the 4 Skype mimeTypes obtained in point 1).Ģ.1 - For mimeType /, I obtain something like this: mimetype = / One more usefull info is that the _TYPE of Skype is "" It looks like these have been added around Augustus 2018 (see here ) The important data here is these 4 Skype mimeTypes: "/" Skype App (apk) contains /res/xml/contacts.xml which contains
Let me explain the situation before asking my question: I am able to obtain 'Skype ID' / 'Skype user name', but my solution does not always work because it seems the contact DB of the Skype app does not always contain (expose?) 'all' the data. FYI, The trick which consists in extracting RawContactID from lookupKey (similar to "1450iSkype_288") does not work anymore.
