For an introduction, read + https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/contacts-provider.
+ +The Contact Scopes feature enables the user to grant an app read access to a + subset of data in the OS ContactsProvider. Granting write access (insert(), + update(), delete()) is not supported.
+ +Read access can be granted to the following scopes:
+ +Type and name of account that contact is stored in is fully hidden from the + app. Name of contact account is usually the same as email address of that + account.
+ +Access to SIM phonebook data is fully stubbed out: an empty and immutable + content provider is exposed instead of the actual SIM phonebook. Implementations + of legacy (ICC) and modern SIM stub phonebook providers are added to + packages/services/Telephony.
+ +The Contact Scopes feature is enabled per-app. When it's enabled, app's calls + to contacts provider and to SIM phonebook providers are redirected, respectively, + to ScopedContactsProvider and to stub SIM phonebook providers.
