Android :: Adding Contacts Using ContactsContract In Batch
Apr 21, 2010
adding new contacts in address book and apply them in batch by using new ContactsContract API. I could not find a proper tutorial on this. I am able to add a single contact. But batch update fails with Unknown contacts being added. Currently I am looping through while loop while collecting info. of users to write, store it in the ArrayList and applying and ContentProviderResult[] result = getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, op_list); But only one contact is updated with name and other are updated as unknown contacts. Please help with a sample code which adds the fields like name,nickname,mobile,title,email,skype id,work-country etc.

I want to add a contact just to my phone and not to my gmail account.Whenever I start to add a contact (phone, 208544.menu, +contact, create new contact,) the next thing it forces me to do is to choose an account to create the new contact under and it lists my 3 gmail accounts.I have no option to just put it on the phone.Any ideas here?We do the same thing on the Incredible but it gives us the gmail account and the phone to choose from but not on the Motorola.

I've been using the ContactsContract api for some time now and I've come across two "columns" listed in the API page for ContactsContract.Contacts that do not appear to actually be assessable.
CODE:.....
By my reading of the API these two values would seem to connect to the Structured Name (in DATA) used to construct the display name for the given contact. Having access to this directly from the contact table would be incredibly useful to me at the moment, but as far as I can tell they are not actually in the working api (I've tested against both 2.1 and 2.2).
The associated constants do not exist in the Contacts object, and attempting to access the fields directly (by using the lower case string versions I've seen in code dumps online) turns up with an sql error -- invalid column, as you might expect.
Has anyone had any better luck with accessing these? Are these actually in the API?
I did some more checking and here's some related values from RawContacts that are listed on the API but appear to not actually be in it: DISPLAY_NAME_ALTERNATIVE, DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY, DISPLAY_NAME_SOURCE, PHONETIC_NAME, PHONETIC_NAME_STYLE, SORT_KEY_ALTERNATIVE, and SORT_KEY_PRIMARY.
All of these appear to be features not yet in the API that are mistakenly not filtered out when the javadoc was released. If other folks are unable to access these features as well it might be worth filing a bug report over.

I am using ContactsContract api intent for showing all contacts from an activity. This intent returns an id of the contact. I need to get the postal address of this contact.
Here is the code which i am using for showing contacts:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
I am getting the result in the onActivityResult function..

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.

Need some info on ContactsContract.RawContacts<http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContr...> :
A row in the ContactsContract.RawContacts<[url] represents a set of data describing a person and associated with a single account (for example, one of the user's Gmail accounts).
I have found two entry for each contact get inserted when I do import contact from SIM card. Why it is so and is it right?
When I am trying to modify entry, compare function from EditContactActivity.java get called. /packages/apps/Contacts/src/com/android/contacts/ui/EditContactActivity.java
In this class in compare function checking accountType which is getting null. Wanted to know with which raw contact this comparison is happening ? and Why it is getting crashed ?

I've been having a major problem with my contacts list since moving my contacts from a Blackberry to a Motorola Droid.
Lots of my contacts have phone numbers under one name, separated by a "+" or a calling code. If the phone number is exactly the same, only one number shows up in the Droid's contact. I never get the choice to pick the numbers inside the contact. This is a big problem for people who travel and need the "+" to make international calls or have a calling code before the number when they travel.
I made a contact called test. I added the number 11111111111 under home, then I added +11111111111 under mobile, then I added 2211111111111 under work. When you look for the contact test you should only see the choice to call 11111111111. The other numbers under the contact never show up.

I am copying my code below to do the above. The problem I have right now is after I have picked a Contact from the list, I am not able to add the name to the listview. I get a Force Close at that step. See point no. A below to understand what I am talking about.
Also, the ListView is built using 'strings' ArrayList which is empty the very first time. The Menu option 'Add' is then used to pick a Contact and add the contact Name to the ArrayList which is then:

I can't seem to find the option other than create a whole new ringtone in Ringdroid. I've already created the ringtone in that! For some reason it wants me to create yet another ringtone from the already created one if I want to assign it to a contact again.I cant seem to find the option to just assign a ringtone to a contact.I think installing Zedge as well may have wiped my existing custom ones I did.Is there not a way in the system to assign ringtones to contacts without an app? Or a simple app to do it?

I've had my Eris since December and I love it. Question I have is every email I send through Gmail on the phone adds that contact without me wanting it to.
I get a lot of emails and I don't want every email I sent added as a contact. Most of the emails I send are one time shots.

I recently got a Nexus 4 after spending the last 5 years or more using an old Sony Ericcson phone.
Today I went to add my phone numbers into my new N4 and it keeps asking me to add them to either my Google or Hotmail (I setup e-mail already) account. Why? I don't want to sync them, I just want to have them there on my phone. I've exported my entire phonebook as a CSV and VCF file on my PC, I but I really cannot find how to import without it also syncing with Google or Hotmail.

Many of my contacts have websites that I need to add to their Contact card.Is there any way to Add a URL / WWW address to a contacts info card and have it show up on the phone and be clickable? Like the persons Home address and email fields are. I see no field on the ERIS for this info, However, The Moto DROID has it.If I Edit or Add the Contact from my PC, using Google Contacts there is a Field for this info, but entering it in there does not add it to the ERIS contact info.Out of Frustration I added URL's to some of the other preset fields listed (Company, Mailing address, Other etc..) on Both the ERIS and Google Contacts on the PC, but doing it this way just adds unclickable text to the Contact card.Any help would be appreciated.

It seems like I am just missing something obvious. I receive an SMS or incoming call from someone's new cell. I want to update an existing contact. I long press the number click add to contacts, but when I chose a contact it doesn't include the number. I end up writing the number down and then updating it manually. Sorry if this is a repeat post but the words are just too common I wasn't able to find anything. Everyone seems to just add to contacts with those steps but I'm just not getting the numbers I inputted anywhere.

I am a new Moment user. I transfered all my contacts info (phone numbers, emails, etc.) from my old phone to the Moment. When I go to add a new contact directly into the Moment, it doesn't display in the contacts. Is there a setting that I must check to allow input directly on the phone?

I can't find out how to add photos to the contacts I have on my phone.I read in another post that I should go to Google mail and do it from there, but my contacts aren't synced with anything. I just want to access them on my phone, and see a photo when they call. I added everyone's details myself, but I can't believe there's no Add photo option (or non that I can find anyway!)

I am having a problem using the Groups option in my Contacts app.When I try to add members, only three of my many contacts are displayed. I have tried to figure out why these three contacts are being filtered out but they do not seem to have anything particular in common. How can I get all my contacts to display when adding to Groups?
