Tobias Mücksch updated CB-11038: -------------------------------- Affects Version/s: 2.0.0 > Android: Automatically created (nonsense) contacts are retrieved too > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CB-11038 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11038 > Project: Apache Cordova > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Plugin Contacts > Affects Versions: 2.0.0 > Environment: Android 6 Marshmallow > Reporter: Tobias Mücksch > > For some reason, Android (or Gmail) creates contacts for each email a user > receives (via gmail). By default those Contacts are hidden in the systems > contacts-app. > The problem is; the cordova-plugin-contacts retrieves those contacts too; > even if they aren't real contacts and in most cases of no interest. > Additionally this is different behaviour from the iOS version. > You can spot these "ghost contacts" when you open your contacts app, click on > the settings (top right corner), and then on "Contacts to display" -> > "Customize" -> Google -> "My Contacts". > In my opinion there should be at least an option to filter out specific > contacts sources. It's very annoying to have plenty of nonsense contacts > (around 50 in my case). For example I have some contacts in the list for > email addresses I have received invoices or even newsletters from. > Side note: I'm not 100% percent sure where these contacts come from. Either > android or the gmail web app. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@cordova.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@cordova.apache.org
