Obtaining Android Contacts Sorting Preference

Inside 'Contacts' -> 'Settings' in android, we have 'Sort list by' and 'view contact name as' options. Is there any way of obtaining these preferences inside another app? Meanin

Solution 1:

    int sort_order = 
Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),ContactsContract.Preferences.SORT_ORDER);
    inr display_order =
Settings.System.getInt(getContentResolver(),ContactsContract.Preferences.DISPLAY_ORDER);
