I wrote an API in Kotlin +Flow to make Contacts straightforward to use (no ContentProviders)
It looks like that on a first look but you will get multiple emitions. All queries in ContactQueries use extensions in ContentResolver.Kt in order to make the Flow emit again once a change in the ContentObserver is detected.

- Contacts, Reborn has reached a colossal milestone! APIs for Blocked Phone Numbers, SIM Card Contacts, Lookups, Custom Data for Google Contacts, Pokemon, RPGs, and more improvements. All optimized and complete with beautiful documentation =)

I dedicated 3 years to building this Android Contacts API library written in Kotlin with Java interop. I want to share it with the Reddit community for the first time.
That is a really good, deep question! I do believe I encountered undocumented behaviors. At least I think they are undocumented but maybe I just didn't find documentation on them. I wrote everything down in a single file I cal the DEV_NOTES.
- Does extensive documentation do more harm than good?
