How to get Google contacts but not Gmail contacts?

I retrieve information about contacts stored in the phone. I am working on 2.1.

I can extract every RawContacts from the request, including “automatic gmail contacts” that I don’t need.

I was looking a bit for SO, but have not yet found good answers.

Looking at my phone book (HTC Hero), there is an opportunity to hide these "automatic mail contacts" from the user. What I'm looking for is exactly that.

To clarify the situation, I only need google contacts, but not one of gmail contacts.

In short, is there an implementation, maybe it’s from a where clause or a Content-URI where I can configure the auto-timing contact filtering?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Google has two contact data sets. One for Gmail and one for Google Plus +.

Gmail is one tagged database; for iOS, the tag associated with My Contacts is synchronized with the device.

I would suggest that this is the same for Android.

Hope this helps.
