how to filter contacts using google contacts api?I have a requirement where I need to get all the contacts from a user's Google account and filter them based on certain criteria. I tried using the Google Contacts API, but could not find a way to filter the contacts. Is there a way to do this? Or is there any other API that I can use to achieve this?

You can use the Google Contacts API to filter contacts by specifying values for one or more of the following parameters in the API request:

-DisplayName
-FamilyName
-GivenName
-Organization
-PhoneNumber

For example, the following request would return all contacts whose display name includes the substring "jane":

GET https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/contacts/default/full?q=jane

Using Google Contacts API, you can filter contacts using the following steps.

Add the Google Contacts Library to your project by adding the following line to your string.xml file.
```
<string name="google_contacts_api_key">YOUR_KEY_HERE</string>
```
Note: Replace YOUR_KEY_HERE with your Google Contacts API Key.
Create a class which will be used to store the user’s contacts.
Make use of the ContactsService class to access the contacts data from the Google Contacts Database.
Use ContactsQuery Builder class to specify the filter criteria. This filter criteria will allow you to easily search for contacts.
Use the ContactEntry.getText() method to retrieve the required contact data.
Finally, you can use the contacts data that you retrieved using the ContactEntry.getText() method to filter your contacts.
