In which file does Android put the contacts data?

In which file (and path) does Android put the contacts data entries?

Is this a *.vcf file or has it another extension?

It's an sql database in the /data directory - not accessible without root.

I'll post the full path later - have to disappear now.

Yes, android stores the contact file as *.vcf no other extension. If you want to find them, just search .vcf within the files.

You can export the contacts to a vcf file, for backup and transfer purposes. Use the export command from settings in the phone book app.

The actual path to the file used by the phone book is /data/data/com.android .providers.contacts/contacts2.db.
