At SIP Calls we get two information: The Name and number of the caller. Most SIP phones display also the name (if present). Here I see only the number.

Actually the behavior is :
If caller is DisplayName <sip:xxxxx@domain.name>
=> If xxxxxx is not a phone number :
    -> Display "DisplayName" if present else display xxxxx
=> If xxxxxx is a phone number :
    -> Search if this phone number exists in the contact
        -> If in contact display username from contact
        -> Else display phone number

My understand of your request is change the last point from display phone number to display "DisplayName" if present else display phone number?

I'm right?

Mhhh written too fast.

Actually last point does what is proposed to solve your issue.

If you know exactly what sip id is sent by caller / callee, it can help me to understand what is wrong with my parsing rules. But should be ok, just re-tested it.

I set in asterisk a display name "DisplayName" and a number. The Android clients shows only the number. On a Snom IP phone "DisplayName" appears.
I think in SIP the "From:" Header is "DisplayName <sip:1234567890@10.20.30.40>".

I've just added some unitary test for this case.

If From header is "DisplayName <sip:1234567890@10.20.30.40>" then "DisplayName " is displayed in the in call activity. Unless 1234567890 exists in your android contacts and then contact name is displayed.
It is also what I observed when using a sip softphone on my PC, setting my caller id and place a call to my android handset : display name is properly displayed.

To check that csipsimple receive the good contact uri, you can install the latest build :
https://code.google.com/p/csipsimple/downloads/detail?name=CSipSimple_0.00-12-06.apk (uninstall previously installed version before installing this one).
There is a new feature : the (i)nfo button that show you statistics about the current call, and that include the "From " field from SIP.

Besides, this version will allow you to send me more detailed logs so I can see exactly what is announced by your sip server. (Use aLogcat application for example to send me your logs just after you reproduced an invalid scenario) .

OK, now I see the name within the call. Only in the missed calls list is no name.

Thanks a lot for your great work.

Ok, that's true, it's not fully implemented in CallLog list.

I change the issue title to track this task.

It would be usefull to lookup in the callerid(num) not name !
For example Ippi adds "33" and delete the firtst 0 before the phone number and sends it as the callerid name.
As it is just "33" and not "0033" nor "+33" nothing can match ...

I also prefix the callerid name with a tag (*) when it's a personnal call from another voip provider ... Once again nothing can match...

Anyway the callerid number is always right and can be checked if nothing good is found in the callerid name !

Don't hesitate to ask, I will follow

Now (0.00-15-05) call logs add their cached_numbers. So should appear with the good display name in call logs (native & csipsimple).
As for reverse matching (your last comment) : see issue 184.
Still have to be fixed... and somehow complicated to do automatically.
