This plugin is being deprecated. No more work will be done on this plugin by the Cordova development community. You can continue to use this plugin and it should work as-is in the future but any more arising issues will not be fixed by the Cordova community.

> Key: CB-11038
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11038
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: cordova-plugin-contacts (DEPRECATED)
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Environment: Android 6 Marshmallow
> Reporter: Tobias Mücksch
> Assignee: Alexander Sorokin
> Labels: triaged

> For some reason, Android (or Gmail) creates a contact 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 useless contacts together with the ordinary contacts that are actually of interest; *even if they aren't real contacts and in most cases of literally +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 from or even newsletters.
> Side note: I'm not 100% percent sure where these contacts come from. Either android or the gmail web app.
> *I guess filtering by this attribute should do the trick:*
> [ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP|http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html]
> ??An indicator of whether this contact is supposed to be visible in the UI. "1" if the contact has at least one raw contact that belongs to a visible group; "0" otherwise.??
