Query APIs do not return local contacts in Samsung devices when passing null to accounts functions

[vestrel00]

Problem

Using query APIs' accounts function to match local (Raw)Contacts (and groups), those that have a null Account and are not synced outside of the device, does not work for Samsung devices running OneUI.

The following will NOT return any contacts;

query.accounts(null).find()

This issue occurs because "Phone contacts" (local contacts and groups) in Samsung devices are assigned to the following accoun"; vnd.sec.contact.phone (the account name and type are the same). RawContacts that are inserted with a null account will, immediately or at a later time, be automatically associated to this local account. This account is not returned by the Android AccountManager. Either because 3rd party apps do not have access to it or it is not an actual real account.

Solution

Update the accounts function of all query APIs to also match the local account name and type of Samsung devices instead of just null when null is passed.

Apply this solution to all query APIs with an accounts function;

• Query
• BroadQuery
• ProfileQuery
• AccountsRawContactsQuery
• DataQuery
• GroupsQuery (related to Remove Account restrictions for Group, GroupMembership, Relation, and Event #167)

Other considerations

Given that Samsung is automatically assigning local RawContacts to the vnd.sec.contact.phone "account", there is no need to refactor insert and update APIs.
