What's the alternative of ContactsContract.Contacts.LAST_TIME_CONTACTED?
What should I use instead of `ContactsContract.Contacts.LAST_TIME_CONTACTED`? According to [documentation](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.ContactOptionsColumns#LAST_TIME_CONTACTED), LAST_TIME_CONTACTED variable was deprecated. Even it was written in ContactsContract.class

```java
/** @deprecated */
@Deprecated
String LAST_TIME_CONTACTED = "last_time_contacted";
```

Since it was deprecated then there must be another alternative. But why there's no alternative? Or why the documentation didn't link any alternative? 
>This constant was deprecated in API level 29.<br/>
Contacts affinity information is no longer supported as of Android version Build.VERSION_CODES.Q. This column always contains 0.

In Android Q or higher version, there's no alternative variable either?
