Android : Released Good Phonebook App That Allow Quick Access To All Of Contacts Sorted By Groups
Aug 8, 2009
I am looking for a good phone book app that would allow quick access to all of my contacts sorted by groups. All i want is a contact list with group name tabs at the top or something like that. But no... not a single app can do this. Come of them support groups, others dont, but all of them make you jump through hoops to change them on the fly.
So far I have tried:
The Original Android Contacts
Phonebook
aContacts
Contact Blast
Star Contacts

I know in the Contacts app you can press the menu button to get to settings, but it looks like Motorola has removed the display options selection from the menu.
I want my contacts to be sorted by last name, but displayed as:
First Last
John Smith
So it is displaying the names correctly, but it is sorting them by first name instead of last. Is there a way to change this on the Droid X?

After loosing most of my contacts this is what I had to do - tedious! Find my old phone - copy the contacts to my desire sim - put the sim back in desire - sync with googlemail - adapt EVERY name because they changed to surname 1st - then delete some of the duplicated numbers - save - sync back to phone? Now i have done this do I need to Import to SD - Import from SD - Export to SD - or do nothing, I dont want to end up with bloody duplicates/lost numbers again.

I am trying to read and write contacts on the SIM phonebook. First I tried writing a contact with GetContentResolver.insert(), passing RawContacts.CONTENT_URI as URI and ensuring the column RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME had the value "SIM", and adding 2 lines (1 for4 name and 1 for phone) to Data.CONTENT_URI, linked by contact ID. This seemed to work: the contacts showed in the contact list with the SIM logo next to them, but they wouldn't survive a reboot... apparently that's just a placeholder in memory, which is synced with the real SIM at startup and at every change.

I need a widget on my htc wildfire, one that looks like the People Widget but only for the Phonebook contacts and not FB or other social networks. I have tried so many but none are good enough.
Any suggestions? Or is there any way to make the People Widget display the phonebook contacts only?

Recently I was asked if I could help someone to get quick-started to android programming.
What would you suggest to tell this person? Would you explain everything by hand or just refer to external links? Which ressources would you recommend? This whole issue should not take too much time...assuming 2-3 hours.
Once my access to this issue was "Professional android application development". Java basics are already preconditioned, so there's no need to explain ANYTHING.
For avoiding any misconceptions: This shall be just a quick start, no reference or something like this, so I just need some keywords and a hint how deeply go through it.

I have a problem in querying phonebook contacts. What I need to do is get a list of contacts that have both phone and email entered or are of a specific type.
Basically like this:
CODE:...............
Now, the problem is, that RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE does not exist in the ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, which I use with my query. I'm guessing I'd need to join another table, but have no idea how to do so.

New to android and really like it. However, seems like the maintenance of contacts is a common source of confusion. I have contacts from my Gmail displayed. I have a created a group of contacts that I have been able to add contacts to. However, not all contacts are available to be added to this group.
Under the general contacts page, all the contacts are there (including many imported from gmail that I don't care for since every email that has ever been used seems to be saved). When I go to edit the group and add a contact, not all the contacts are displayed as available to add. I have gone into my gmail contact list and made sure that the contact I want to add is listed under the "my contacts" heading.

Is there an app or something that will allow me to view the contacts that i have in set groups. I have a group for family and works and mates, is there a way to view a list of all my work contacts on my htc hero?
Also if possible i would like to be able to send a text to all the people in a certain group. Any ideas?

Problem 1.
I have this class:
public class ContactGroups {
// Form an array specifying which columns to return.
String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.Groups._ID,
Contacts.Groups._COUNT, Contacts.Groups.NAME, Contacts.Groups.NOTES };
public Cursor getList(Activity act) {
Uri contacts = Contacts.Groups.CONTENT_URI;
// using the debugger code kills here
Cursor managedCursor = act.managedQuery(contacts, projection,
null, null, null );
return managedCursor;
} public ArrayList<String> getColumnData(Cursor cur) { ArrayList<String> aa = new ArrayList<String>();
if (cur.moveToFirst()) { String name;
String notes;
int nameColumn = cur.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Groups.NAME);
int notesColumn = cur.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Groups.NOTES);
do {
// Get the field values name = cur.getString(nameColumn);
notes = cur.getString(notesColumn);
aa.add(name);
// Do something with the values. } while (cur.moveToNext())
} return aa;
} }
I am calling this as:
ContactGroups mGrp= new ContactGroups();
final ArrayAdapter<String> aa;
aa = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,mGrp.getColumnData(mGrp.getList(this)));
myListView.setAdapter(aa);
And having:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"></uses-permission>
I get a Source not found error and a Logcat error
ERROR/DatabaseUtils(617): java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid column _count
Problem 2.
Where do I create manually contact groups?

I'm trying to develop an application on Android 2.1 emulator, My application connects in background to a remote server through an HTTPConnection with REST Protocol, and gets updates in JSON format. A Digest parses these JSONObject and then fills its local Databases with the new datas. The Server can also send to the mobile application a list of new contacts to add in the system PhoneBook. Here's my question: how can I make a new contact from a bunch of datas and insert it in the system PhoneBook in Android 2.1, without any interaction with the user? Moreover, how can I get these datas back when I need it? I have tried to do it like the ContactAdder in the ContactManager sample(http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ContactManager/ index.html) does, but it works only if I specify an account for the sync function, and I don't need this feature in my application, so I don't have any account to select! Is there a way to do the same things the ContactAdder does without specifying an account (something like creating "Phone-only (unsynced) contacts")?

Had my Hero a while now but still cant figure out why all my contacts do not appear in my phonebook.
I'm still having to go into People to find phone numbers. Surely both the phonebook and People should have the same contacts in? Or do they just appear on the phonebook list once you've contacted them?

I have a small but annoying problem with my android phone. In my contacts i have ~70 contacts named "(no name)" as you can see here:
If I tap on it, it shows me that it's somehow connected to Whatsapp:
Why are those entries not linked to the regular contact? I have this problem with every ROM i use....
I can't delete those entries but the phone tells me that they will be hidden instead. Is there an easy way to fix that instead of trying to delete every single contact?

This seems to be a very annoying feature if there is not a way to disable it (and I can't find one). I have my google contacts all set up and they are the only things I want in my phone book. I know in "people" I can just show google, but when I got to dial a number, all of my facebook friends with numbers show up too. For some reason they are showing up in my google contacts too (when I log into gmail on my computer). It is nice how the facebook picture syncs with my contacts, but that is all I want, not everyone on else facebook who are not in my google contacts.

I save all my contacts to Google, so they are backed up automatically on Google's servers. However, when I go to People > View - it says Phone (13) when I don't have any contacts saved to my phone. Even when I only have Phone (13) ticked, it doesn't display anything. Why is this?

I am trying to find a way to organize my contacts. As far as I can figure, Android allows you to group phone contacts but there is no option for grouping Google contacts, which most of my contacts are. Does anyone know a way to group Google contacts on the phone. I don't even care about making Groups on sync. I just want to group them now that they are on my phone.
