Android : How To Add Manually Contacts Group To Droid Database?

Feb 26, 2010

I want to define some Contact Groups. I am wondering where and how does Android store the groups. Maybe in a Sqlite database? If so, will be able to run a insert on it? Otherwise how do you add new Contacts Group via the emulator?

Sprint HTC Hero :: Assign A Ringtone To Group As Opposed To Manually Adding It For Each Person?

May 16, 2010

I've seen this asked a couple of times back in the early part of the year, but no one ever answered, so I figured it would be worth giving it a go again. Is it possible to assign a ringtone to an entire group, as opposed to manually adding it for each person in a group?

Android : Create A Sqlite Database That I Can Manually Input Data From My Computer

Nov 30, 2009

I have certain needs that I am having trouble making an app for. I was hoping to be able to create a sqlite database that I can manually input data from my computer and search the data on my droid. I wanted to set up tags or full data search within each sqlite database object so and pull up a listing of best matches for the given search term.

The use for it is that I work on an Air Force Base and my job is very broad. I wanted to custom build an app that I could list all of the information pertaining to my job and be able to search it as I work to find solutions to problems way quicker than we are doing it now.

Is there any such app. I've been trying to create my own and it looks like it would be a mix between notepad and searchable dictionary but not quite.

HTC Droid Eris :: Manually Adding Address In Emails Without Saving In Contacts

Dec 31, 2009

I'm using the HTC mail app (and have also tried in the Gmail app) and want to send a message to 2 people who are not in my Contacts (and don't want to add them since this is a one-off type of thing). How do I do this? I tried typing in the first address and using a comma or a semicolon as the delimiter/separator before entering the second. I get an error saying that the address is not recognized.

Motorola Droid X :: How To Associate / Move Employee Contacts Under Group?

Jul 21, 2010

I have a group on gmail called coworkers. I added many of the employees in my company as contacts. I am now running Launcher Pro as well for what that is worth. I found the option to check coworkers as a group, but I can't figure out how to associate or move the employee contacts under that group. What am I missing? Or am I going about this the wrong way entirely?

Android : Setup Trigger On Contacts Database In Droid?

Dec 3, 2009

I have a requirement wherein I need a list of all the contacts that are edited/changed.

As per the Android documentation,

_SYNC_DIRTY

will be set every time a contact is edited. But, there seems to be a bug in this, which makes this always set to 1 (no matter what), even is we explicitly set it to 0.

So, I was wondering if I can create a SQLite TRIGGER on the contacts database. Such that, everytime a contact is edited, the edited contact id is populated into a different table which I can read later from my application.

I tried this...

CREATE TRIGGER IF NOT EXISTS updated_contacts UPDATE ON 'contacts.db'.phones
BEGIN
INSERT INTO updated_table SET updated_id=old.person;
END;

But a few problems here...

1) 'phones' is a table in the contacts database. but, I am not sure about the name of the contacts database (here I have assumed it to be 'contacts.db').

2) updated_table is a table on a different database 'mydatabase.db' that I have created from my application. and, I am not sure if I can set TRIGGERS across different databases.

All this in Android 1.6 Also, I am not sure about the permission to access native contacts database on Android.

Is there any other way of achieving this.

General :: Filter Contacts By Group With Contacts Contract

Sep 16, 2010

I'm developing a big application and a part of it is about contacts. I want to, first, get all the groups of contacts. And when the users selects one, show all the contacts of the group.

I've seen other applications and widgets (like LauncherPro widget or HTC Sense Widget) than can do it, but when I try, I don't get same results.

My code is:

1.- To get an example group (this is just for testing, in real application user selects):

Code:
long idGroup = 0;
String[] GROUP_PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Groups._ID, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE };
Cursor c = mcp.getContext().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Groups.CONTENT_URI, GROUP_PROJECTION, null, null, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE + " ASC");

[Code]...

2.- To filter Users by group??

Android :: Manipulates Contacts Database Via Contacts Provider

Aug 29, 2010

I have some code that manipulates the Contacts database via the Contacts Provider (ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI), so I can add/edit/delete my Google contacts, Phone contacts and the Sim contacts cached there. Changes to the Phone contacts are immediate, changes to the Google contacts are synced to my Google account, but changes to the SIM contacts only affect the Contacts DB and aren't persisted to the SIM.

Ie while I can delete the SIM contacts from the Contacts DB, once I reboot my phone the SIM contacts get repopulated into the Contacts DB. The IccProvider (accessed via content://icc/adn) seems to be a way to directly access the SIM contacts. The source code seems to suggest so and there is annectdotal evidence that this works, but it is an internal Android API and it doesn't work on my Galaxy S in any case. So, does anyone know a definitive way of modifying/deleting SIM contacts. Or failing that, a way to stop the SIM contacts being reopulated on reboot, though this seems less satisfying.

Android :: Safe Way To Get My Contacts Group?

Nov 16, 2009

I'm adding a new contact using the 2.0 Contacts Contract APIs and I was just wondering if this is a safe way to get the "My Contacts" group to set the group membership for my new contact. Or is there a better more standard way to get it? I'm using the literal string "System Group: My Contacts" when I query the Groups table to get the source row for the My Contacts group. I found this constant by poking around in the debugger, but It's not documented anywhere that I could find, so I don't know if it's the right thing to use. Is there an actual constant somewhere that I should be using to find the "My Contacts" group? Code...

Android :: Manually Edit - Add Contacts Sync W/ Facebook

Nov 19, 2009

Is there anyway to re-establish or manually add the Facebook syncronization option to an existing contact in my Contacts app? I lost the Facebook sync icon in the contact information and this is inconvienent at best, and possibly is the cause of disabling the phone functionality at worse. Subsequent behavior on at least two occassions has shown that attempts to dial out using this particular contact locks up the dialer, causing multiple forces closes, and essentially disables the phone functionally both in and out of the phone for long periods time (10-20 mins) until the application can be correctly cleared and purged from memory.

I was able to successfully sync my Contacts with both my Google contact list and then all my Facebook friends. However some of the contact information was not exactly how I preferred and attempts to update that information using the Google contact list was not always successful. Not entirely sure if this is a bug or by design. I was able to successfully modify one contacts name with Facebook sync from first name first to last name first (to correct sorting to my preference). A second contact wouldn't modify no matter if I updated the name information on Google contact or on the phone itself. Finally I attempted to delete the contact and re-add it. This worked but now I lost its Facebook sync (no Facebook icon to click within the contact information). I'm not sure if this detachment is causing the dialer problems.

After syncing all my Facebook friends with my contacts (for complete-ism), I successfully deleted some Facebook friends from my contact list. But what if I want one back with Facebook sync, is that possible?

Android :: Sync One Group Of Contacts Only (HTC Desire)

Apr 26, 2010

I recently purchased a HTC Desire Android phone and I'm looking for a way to keep a simple, basic contact list updated and synched with my Gmail account. The problem with the default way on my phone is that it will sync every contact on my Gmail. This is a problem as I only want to have contacts from my phone book synched to one gmail group and vice versa. There is an option to "disply only contacts with numbers" but I still don't like the idea of having every contact on the phone. There is also the problem of the extra empty groups I won't be using, can these be gotten rid of?

I basically just want one list and it to be my default list with all contacts and not have to go through an array of menus to get to that one list on the phone. I don't want that list to be populated by contacts who I may have only emailed once and will never email again. I don't want any gimmicks in between, no gtalk contacts, no facebook contacts, no default gmail contacts and I want to be able to then export this group to a CSV file to use with spreadsheets etc.

This seems to be possible on Android stock and even on HTC Hero Sense UI according to here: Tidy up your Contact List with a Custom Sync Group | Androidheadlines.com
but in the Desire Sense UI, when you go to people/groups/menu, it only gives the option to delete or add. Seems this guy is having the same issue, he has the sync group option but his friend doesn't, both using the same phone. No "Sync Groups" option

There are reports from this thread that some users have had this same problem. Some have a "Sync Groups" option when they go to People>Group Tab and click menu, most don't have this option however and I'm yet to hear from a desire user with this option. Also from this thread (Just want to sync 'My Contacts' on Android, not everything! - Google Mobile Help) one user reported that a "hard reset" gave him the "Sync Group" option. I tried this but had no luck, still the same menu as before.

Android :: Way To Have Group Contacts / Text Message

Mar 16, 2010

Alright so I REALLY need to create a group contact folder. You see I have to manage about 10 guys and its convenient that they all have cellphones whats NOT convenient is I can't find a way to put them into a group and text them with one group message! I need to make sure these guys show up to where they are needed and texting all 10 of them separately is a pain in the rear end. So far the other threads don't seam of any use.

Android :: Update All Contacts Belonging To One Group

Sep 28, 2009

I have an application that updates all the contacts belonging to a group, I currently do the following : -> Get the group id -> Get all the contacts id inside this group -> For each of them I am doing an update on the contact => This is really heavy and seems to take time in real phones while I expect it to be "instantaneous". I am wondering if we can, in the ContentResolver.update() method specify a kind of join. For instance I'd like to do something like : UPDATE <people> SET <people.name>="<new name>" FROM People p, Groups Memberships gm WHERE p.person_id=gm.person_id and gm.group_id=<my_group_id> Does anyone know if it's possible or not? The update method has got a "where" attribute but can we use this attribute for complexe requests?

Android :: Is It Possible To Pick Contacts From A Single Group ?

Mar 23, 2009

I'm using ACTION_PICK to show a contact picker:startActivityForResult( new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Uri.parse("content://contacts/people") ) ,RESULT_PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST); I'd really like to be showing only contacts from the My Contacts group, rather than the list which includes all the auto-generated contacts. I had hoped to find an Extra to specify the group, but I can't find any sign of one. Is there any way to pick a contact from a specified group, or do I need to write my own picker?

Android :: Manually Type Email Address - Unable To Select Contacts

Oct 24, 2010

Anywho, I want to go into Gmail, compose a new email, and be able to select contacts (or even have the app provide a look-ahead list based on what I type). This is exactly how the Gmail app for my Blackberry 8830 worked so I don't understand why there seems to be less functionality no an Android phone. In any case, it seems that no matter what, all I can do is manually type in email addresses. Also, I know I can go into Contacts (People) and select a person's email. This brings up a menu option to email using Gmail or my Exchange email account. This in't good enough because all I can do is open a new email to one person this way. What if I want to email 10 people!?

General :: Get Contacts Information From Web To Android Phone Book Without Manually Typing?

Isn't there a way I can get contact information I find on the web into my Android phone book without having to pull out my phone and typing it in by hand?

I thought there was a way, maybe I had to add something to my computer where I could type highlight the name, address and phone number, right click up a menu and have it all added to my phone book.

Android :: Can Edit Contact Group Of Google Contacts On Handset

Feb 11, 2010

I have them filtered on the Handset so that only those marked as Friends or Family under Gmail contacts are shown. I can't help this as otherwise I'd have well over 1000 contacts to scroll through on my phone.

My issue is that should I add a contact on my phone it doesn't appear. This is obviously because when it's created it has no group membership. It still resolves against SMS etc but is not displayed in the Contacts list. I can (when near a computer) quickly jump onto gmail, manage contacts and put the person into the right group but ideally I'd like to be able to do this on the handset.

Is there any way at all of editing Google Contact Group membership on the handset? I certainly can't find the option if it exists. Alternatively is it possible to change it so when the contact is create on the handset that it automatically saves as a 'Friend'.

Android :: Query Membership Not Find Contacts In Specific Group

Jul 30, 2009

I try to query contacts in a specific group by GroupMembership. But It only works fine with system built-in group "Starred in Android".

My codes is like this:
private static String[] GRP_PROJECTION = new String[] { GroupMembership.PERSON_ID, GroupMembership.GROUP_ID };
Cursor groupCursor = context.getContentResolver(). query(GroupMembership.CONTENT_URI, GRP_PROJECTION, "group_id=" + filterGroup_id, null, null);
Log.d(TAG, "number = "+ getCount());

If filterGroup_id is system built-in group id(Starred in Android), log.d() shows the number of contacts in group. But if filterGroup_id is my self-defined group id, log.d() shows the contacts of person in my defined group is always ZERO! Even there is actually some contacts in my defined group. Is this a bug for SDK1.5 R2?
