Google's common Java, C++ and JavaScript library for parsing, formatting, and validating international phone numbers. The Java version is optimized for running on smartphones, and is used by the Android framework since 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). # Quick links * **Reporting an issue?** Want to send a pull request? See the [contribution guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.md) * Check the [frequently asked questions](FAQ.md) * Fun! [Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Phone Numbers](FALSEHOODS.md) * Look for [`README`s](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/find/master) in directories relevant to the code you're interested in. * For contributors and porters: [How to run the Java demo](run-java-demo.md) * For porters: [How to make metadata changes](making-metadata-changes.md) # Highlights of functionality * Parsing, formatting, and validating phone numbers for all countries/regions of the world. * `getNumberType` - gets the type of the number based on the number itself; able to distinguish Fixed-line, Mobile, Toll-free, Premium Rate, Shared Cost, VoIP, Personal Numbers, UAN, Pager, and Voicemail (whenever feasible). * `isNumberMatch` - gets a confidence level on whether two numbers could be the same. * `getExampleNumber` and `getExampleNumberForType` - provide valid example numbers for all countries/regions, with the option of specifying which type of example phone number is needed. * `isPossibleNumber` - quickly guesses whether a number is a possible phone number by using only the length information, much faster than a full validation. * `isValidNumber` - full validation of a phone number for a region using length and prefix information. * `AsYouTypeFormatter` - formats phone numbers on-the-fly when users enter each digit. * `findNumbers` - finds numbers in text. * `PhoneNumberOfflineGeocoder` - provides geographical information related to a phone number. * `PhoneNumberToCarrierMapper` - provides carrier information related to a phone number. * `PhoneNumberToTimeZonesMapper` - provides timezone information related to a phone number. # Demo ## Java The [Java demo](https://libphonenumber.appspot.com/) is updated with a slight delay after the GitHub release. Last demo update: v8.13.52. Note: Even though the library (main branch/[maven release](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/googlecode/libphonenumber/libphonenumber/8.12.56/)) is at v8.12.57, because of some deployment issues, we were unable to update the Java demo with the new binary version. We will soon fix this. Meantime, please use JS demo. If this number is lower than the [latest release's version number](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/releases), we are between releases and the demo may be at either version. ### Demo App There is a demo Android App called [E.164 Formatter](java/demoapp) in this repository. The purpose of this App is to show an example of how the library can be used in a real-life situation, in this case specifically in an Android App using Java. ## JavaScript The [JavaScript demo](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/blob/master/javascript/i18n/phonenumbers/demo-compiled.html) may be run at various tags; this link will take you to `master`. # Java code To include the Java code in your application, either integrate with Maven (see [wiki](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/wiki)) or download the latest jars from the [Maven repository](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/googlecode/libphonenumber/libphonenumber/). # Javadoc Javadoc is automatically updated to reflect the latest release at https://javadoc.io/doc/com.googlecode.libphonenumber/libphonenumber/. # Versioning and Announcements We generally choose the release number following these guidelines. If any of the changes pushed to master since the last release are incompatible with the intent / specification of an existing libphonenumber API or may cause libphonenumber (Java, C++, or JS) clients to have to change their code to keep building, we publish a major release. For example, if the last release were 7.7.3, the new one would be 8.0.0. If any of those changes *enable* clients to update their code to take advantage of new functionality, and if clients would have to roll-back these changes in the event that the release was marked as "bad", we publish a minor release. For example, we'd go from 7.7.3 to 7.8.0. Otherwise, including when a release contains only [metadata](FAQ.md#metadata_definition) changes, we publish a sub-minor release, e.g. 7.7.3 to 7.7.4. Sometimes we make internal changes to the code or metadata that, while not affecting compatibility for clients, could affect compatibility for **porters** of the library. For such changes we make announcements to [libphonenumber-discuss]( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libphonenumber-discuss). Such changes are not reflected in the version number, and we would publish a sub-minor release if there were no other changes. Want to get notified of new releases? During most of the year, excepting holidays and extenuating circumstances, we release fortnightly. We update [release tags](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/releases) and document detailed [release notes]( https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/blob/master/release_notes.txt). We also send an announcement to [libphonenumber-discuss]( https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/libphonenumber-discuss) for every release. # Quick Examples Let's say you have a string representing a phone number from Switzerland. This is how you parse/normalize it into a `PhoneNumber` object: ```java String swissNumberStr = "044 668 18 00"; PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance(); try { PhoneNumber swissNumberProto = phoneUtil.parse(swissNumberStr, "CH"); } catch (NumberParseException e) { System.err.println("NumberParseException was thrown: " + e.toString()); } ``` At this point, `swissNumberProto` contains: ```json { "country_code": 41, "national_number": 446681800 } ``` `PhoneNumber` is a class that was originally auto-generated from `phonenumber.proto` with necessary modifications for efficiency. For details on the meaning of each field, refer to `resources/phonenumber.proto`. Now let us validate whether the number is valid: ```java boolean isValid = phoneUtil.isValidNumber(swissNumberProto); // returns true ``` There are a few formats supported by the formatting method, as illustrated below: ```java // Produces "+41 44 668 18 00" System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.INTERNATIONAL)); // Produces "044 668 18 00" System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.NATIONAL)); // Produces "+41446681800" System.out.println(phoneUtil.format(swissNumberProto, PhoneNumberFormat.E164)); ``` You could also choose to format the number in the way it is dialed from another country: ```java // Produces "011 41 44 668 1800", the number when it is dialed in the United States. System.out.println(phoneUtil.formatOutOfCountryCallingNumber(swissNumberProto, "US")); ``` ## Formatting Phone Numbers 'as you type' ```java PhoneNumberUtil phoneUtil = PhoneNumberUtil.getInstance(); AsYouTypeFormatter formatter = phoneUtil.getAsYouTypeFormatter("US"); System.out.println(formatter.inputDigit('6')); // Outputs "6" ... // Input more digits System.out.println(formatter.inputDigit('3')); // Now outputs "650 253" ``` ## Geocoding Phone Numbers ```java PhoneNumberOfflineGeocoder geocoder = PhoneNumberOfflineGeocoder.getInstance(); // Outputs "Zurich" System.out.println(geocoder.getDescriptionForNumber(swissNumberProto, Locale.ENGLISH)); // Outputs "Zürich" System.out.println(geocoder.getDescriptionForNumber(swissNumberProto, Locale.GERMAN)); // Outputs "Zurigo" System.out.println(geocoder.getDescriptionForNumber(swissNumberProto, Locale.ITALIAN)); ``` ## Mapping Phone Numbers to original carriers Caveat: We do not provide data about the current carrier of a phone number, only the original carrier who is assigned the corresponding range. Read about [number portability](FAQ.md#what-is-mobile-number-portability). ```java PhoneNumber swissMobileNumber = new PhoneNumber().setCountryCode(41).setNationalNumber(798765432L); PhoneNumberToCarrierMapper carrierMapper = PhoneNumberToCarrierMapper.getInstance(); // Outputs "Swisscom" System.out.println(carrierMapper.getNameForNumber(swissMobileNumber, Locale.ENGLISH)); ``` More examples on how to use the library can be found in the [unit tests](https://github.com/google/libphonenumber/tree/master/java/libphonenumber/test/com/google/i18n/phonenumbers). # Third-party Ports Several third-party ports of the phone number library are known to us. We share them here in case they're useful for developers. However, we emphasize that these ports are by developers outside the libphonenumber project.

If you don't want to do this, check out the port at https://github.com/MichaelRocks/libphonenumber-android, which does repackage the metadata and use `AssetManager#open()`, and may be depended on without needing those specific loading optimizations from clients. You should also check out the port at https://github.com/lionscribe/libphonenumber-android which also supports geocoding, and only requires a one line code change. * Javascript: If you don't want to use our version, which depends on Closure, there are several other options, including https://github.com/catamphetamine/libphonenumber-js - a stripped-down rewrite, about 110 KB in size - and https://github.com/seegno/google-libphonenumber - a browserify-compatible wrapper around the original unmodified library installable via npm, which packs the Google Closure library, about 420 KB in size.
