Clover SDK - Customer.getPhoneNumbers() and Customer.getEmailAddresses() always empty

I'm using CustomerConnector to search for customers however the returned customers don't have any phone numbers or email addresses despite them actually having Phone numbers and Email addresses.

I have also made sure I have added the Customer's Read permission.

As was mentioned, the CustomerConnector.getCustomers() returns a Customer object that doesn't have the nested fields populated. Instead, use the CustomerConnector.getCustomer() method. If you need to get a list of customers with the phoneNumbers and emailAddresses populated, you can use both methods in conjunction. Just run a for loop on the result from the getCustomers() call and call getCustomers(customer.getId()) for each customer.

You can read more about the various methods available on CustomerConnector here: https://clover.github.io/clover-android-sdk/com/clover/sdk/v1/customer/CustomerConnector.html#getCustomer-java.lang.String-

Are you trying to use CustomerConnector.getCustomers()? I suspect this doesn't expand any of the relational fields hence why you can't get phone numbers, addresses etc.
If you load a single customer using CustomerConnector.getCustomer(String id) the record appears to include the related entities. Is that any use?
Alternatively you can do something like this; 
Cursor cursor;
Uri cUri = CustomerContract.Data.contentUriWithAccount(CloverAccount.getAccount(mContext));
cursor =
    getApplicationContext()
    .getContentResolver()
    .query(
        cUri
        , null
        , null
        , null
        , null
    );
com.clover.sdk.v1.customer.Customer customer = null;
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
    customer = new com.clover.sdk.v1.customer.Customer(new JSONObject(cursor.getString(2)));
}

Hi @rapture100 please post a new question. I suspect you'll need the order.getCustomers() method.

An alternative from the SDK to find a Customer by phone number/email is to query the REST API with the 
&filter=phoneNumber=0123456789
Notice: If the the same customer has multiple customer records with the same phone number, you might want to merge them to avoid confusion (off topic, ask in another question for additional details).
