Android :: Application For Sorting And Categorizing Contacts
Jun 26, 2010
I'm looking for a detailed App for sorting and categorizing all of my contacts. I have 700 phone numbers, and am a junior in college, so needless to say, sometimes it's nice to only see female phone numbers. Also, if there is one where you could sort people by key words like soccer, school, parties, etc. Also, with the Verizon network, is there anyway to send texts to more than ten people at once? Is there anything like that out there available for my droid? Is there a way to sort/edit my contacts on my computer? I feel like it would be much easier.

I was very confused when I looked at the list of my contacts the first ftime after syncing them to the Desire. Only then I realized: this thing is sorting first names first! I find this most annoying and unusual. And worse: I found no setting, yet, that would allow me to choose the sorting.

On the Nexus One and I guess non-SenseUI, I could change how my contacts were sorted, "last, first" or "first last". On the EVO, I can't seem to do that. But on Favorites in the 9x grid, it sorts them "first last".

Is it possible to actually re-sort an Android SQL DB? for example, I want to resort the Bookmarks DB. I can query the data and sort it with "Browser.BookmarkColumns.TITLE + " ASC" in the query but this will only sort the list shown to the user and will not sort the DB itself. Therefore, if a user uses my app to sort the Bookmarks by Title(ASC) and then goes to the Android Browser Bookmarks - the order will remain default (other than the one selected on my app).

I just switched from a Nokia N95 to an HTC Desire on Android 2.1 (Froyo isn't out in the Middle East yet I guess). I'm having a lot of trouble getting my contacts on to the Desire. On setting up the phone, it has pulled my contacts from Gmail & Facebook, which I don't really need. I will not be calling or mailing most of the people on that list. There are a 1000+ contacts on those lists and I don't need all of them on my contact list. I tried to use the Nokia Ovi Suite to sync contacts, but for some reason I was not able to transfer them onto the PC. So I copied them all onto the SIM card and then put the SIM into the Desire and exported them to the phone memory.
The problem is that on copying them onto the SIM on the N95, I have multiple entries on the list. For contacts with more than 1 number under them, there are separate entries for each number, with the same name. Is there a method to group them the same way they were earlier i.e. One contact entry with a Home, Mobile, & Business number? Do let me know. It will hugely helpful. The only other way I can think of is to sit and enter all the numbers manually!

I have the At&t N1 and set it up with my Exchange server. The biggest issue I've run into is that the phone seems to ignore my File As setting for the contacts. Some of them are sorted as "first last" and others are "last, first", even though in Outlook they're all the same. I've removed the account and set it back up again with the same result. Actually, after removing the account, the contacts didn't clear either, neither did the calendar.
I got the trial version of Touchdown, which eventually cleared the phone's contact list, but I could never get it to sync its contact database with the phone's. According to their FAQ there should be an option for it, but that never shows up for me. It doesn't really matter to me if I have to use Touchdown to accomplish this or not, but if I do, then I want it to sync to my phone's database because I like the Favorites tab

After a bit of fiddling I was able to sync my Outlook email, calendar and contacts. It looks great and I'm quite pleased except for one thing. The listing of my contacts is by first name then last. Unfortunately there does not seem to be any way to have the Droid reorder the contacts list by last name first. I've spoken with other Droid owners and they have no problem with first name then last, but for me it's a real time waster having to "find" a particular individual, as for many of them I don't know their first names, just last. Is there a way that I am unaware of to sort the contacts by last name first? Our IT guy discovered a work around, but it entails going through each of my contacts and changing the way the names are displayed in the "Full Name" category. For over 200 contacts this will take some time.

When Incredible synced to my Outlook contacts, all of the contacts were re-sorted and re-filed by first name, not by last name.
Any overwirte solution to force sorting back to a last name sort?

this is my problem: I'm writing an alternative contacts app which is specified to work with A LOT of different languages and alphabets. When querying names in my own language, Swedish, the names using umlaut characters are sorted in an illogical manner to me, but logical to unicode i suppose:
Should be/Swedish style: A, B, C, ..., Z, Å, Ä, Ö.
Query result: A, Å, Ä, B, ..., N, O, Ö, P, ...
I assume this will be a problem in any language that deviates from the latin alphabet. All tests I've made are on the emulator. My dev group are making changes to the framework so low-level answers are welcome as well.....

i've been looking for an application for merging the SIM contacts with the GMail contacts but can't seem to find any. Does anyone know if such an application is available? The result now is that i have a huge list of contacts (GMail + SIM) with many duplicates and information spread around different entries. Remark: i'm not sure if this question belongs here, but i had to choose between the G1 T-mobile and this forum.

I would like to perform a certain operation every time a user adds a new contact in the Android Contacts application. It would include using the new contact's information.Is there an easy way to do this? Is there some event that can be listened for or do I have to extend the Contacts application itself? Or should I just think of some other approach if this is not feasible.

I'm only starting with Android dev, and while the Milestone is a nice device Java is not my natural language and I'm struggling with both the Google docs on Android SDK, Eclipse and Java itself. Anyway...
I'm writing a microblog client for Android to go along with my Windows client (MahTweets). At the moment I've got Tweets coming and going without fail, the problem is with the UI.
The initial call will order items correctly (as in highest to lowest)

When a refresh is made

After the tweets are processed, I'm calling adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Initially I thought that getItem() on the Adapter needed to be sorted (and the code below is what I ended up with), but I'm still not having any luck.
CODE:.....................................
Is there a better way to go about sorting ListViews in Android, while still being able to use the LayoutInflater? (rowLayout = t.GetParent().GetUI(t, parent, c) expands the UI to the specific view which the microblog implementation can provide)

I want to create multiple handlers that gets triggered based on users selection, but this handlers implement the same runnable method. the only difference is that they call different postDelayed() method. how do i go about achieving this without rewriting the same code for the runnable? i am still not clear about how the handleMessages() works and if it can be used for this?

Does anyone else wish that the Android Market had sort options? I know when I browse the Market, I can filter by paid apps vs free apps. That's part-way there... I also want to be able to sort by rating/ranking (# of stars), number of times downloaded, cost, and so on. Also, carry these sort options over to the Search. It's even worse as you have paid and free apps mixed together.

I am sorting my database depending on date. The date field in SQLite is nothing but a string, stored in the form of dd-mm-yyyy. How do i carry out the sorting.
My idea is to create a dummy table.Convert the date in a format yyyymmdd. Then sort it simply using sort by date column.Then again drop the table.

I've updated (uploaded a new version) of my app, TimeTracker, twice in the past couple of months, and in both cases, the new upload has not shown up in the "by date" sorted list of the Market app. When I search for the app, I see the correct version in the Market, and I can find it in the correct category by scrolling down; it is just that the updates aren't being correctly sorted.

One of the task of we are working on is to enable the Android Contact sorting by stroke for LOCALE zh_TW. It's very easy to enable the contact sorting by Pinyin for zh_CN, but when I take the same method to enable sorting stroke for zh_TW, the sorting result is either sorted by UNICODDE or PinYin. It's very strange. I have investigated the related code located in android_pkgs/external/icu4c/xxx and tried many options but failed to find a wayout. Is there anybody familiar with icu4c or have ever done some work on this topic? Here I'd like to append the steps (mainly on the location android_pkgs/external/icu4c/) I did as reference:
a. append zh_TW into product locales;
b. append the zh_TW support into icu4c/stubdata/Android.mk
c. taking the cfg-us as example, create a folder cfg-us-zh and append zh_xx related 'zh_xxx.res' files;
d. ./helper.sh us-zh will generate a updated icudt38l-us-zh.dat;
e. recompile Android to launch emulator -EOM-

I implement ProviderTestCase2 to test my content provider functions. And when I insert huge number (about 10000) of data, the insert, delete and update functions are fine. But the query function will have SQLiteDiskIOOException: disk I/O error. And the data number limit of causing the exception is about 5000. Is it bug of content provider?
And there is another problem. Each of my data has different priority. When I sort my data by priority, its no problem. But when I change priority of some data and then sorting again. Sometimes I will get incorrect result and I'm sure its not logical problem of test program.

I've run into an issue with an autocomplete field I'm working on.The field I'm working with is composed of the form "<NAME> (<CODE>)".When a user starts typing in text, I want to display any results that match either NAME or CODE.For example, if this list contains items and their codes, like "Personal Computer (PC)", then I'd want the list to pop up that row if the user types "P", "PC", "Per", etc.However, the problem I'm running into now is how to best sort the results that come back from this.For example, If someone enters "PC", I want "Personal Computer (PC)" to be the first result. However, if there's another row (you'll have to bear with me as this is contrived) "PC Case (301)", then there's no simple ordering I can do on the results to ensure that the best match appears first. Ordering by name and code both returns PC Case first.I want a query where it returns the best match first, rather than items in alphabetical order.Is there such a function I can use in SQLite to get this, or should I return the results and then mess with the order in the code?

I am having a weird issue. I have an ArrayAdapter which I am sorting. This displays properly on my screen, however when I check the actual data source, the contents have not been sorted. How can I ensure that sorting my ListAdapter will also sort my data source?
CODE:....
This shows that my data source hasn't been updated, even though my ListAdapter presents my ListView in the correctly sorted order.
For example:
If my data source is [10,9,1,20] after sorting my ListView will show [1,9,10,20] but the data source will still be [10,9,1,20]

Can you please tell me why the android Contacts application theme/style is using 'dark' theme? For example, the activity's background is Black instead of White. I have looked at their Android Manifest xml file and their layout xml file (e.g. call details.xml) file, but i don't see how they specified using a 'dark' theme? Can you please tell me how do they do that? I have looked at http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/themes.html, but I don't see Contacts app is doing that.
