Android :: Getting A List Of All Phone Contacts?

May 25, 2010

NOTE: Must work on Android 1.5 - Contacts Contract does not Simple enough question. I need to know the best way to get the same list of contacts that show up when a user presses the Contacts button. You would think something like this would work: //For Contacts Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI); this.startActivity ForResult(pickIntent, RESULT); //For Phones Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION _PICK, Phones.CONTENT_URI); this.startActivityForResult(pickIntent, RESULT); The problem is that does not include secondary google accounts or Exchange contacts. By secondary accounts, in Android you can add additional gmail accounts to have the mail/contacts synced. The above intent will not list those additional contacts. I am also told that on the HTC Desire you can add contacts to the phone that do not get synced up to Google. These contacts also do not show up. So how do I get a real list of contacts so I can create my own list activity that works properly where the Google intent does not. NOTE: Must work on Android 1.5 - Contacts Contract does not

HTC Desire :: How To Hide SIM Contacts In Phone List

Sep 20, 2010

I can hide the SIM contacts in the People application. But even I unselect the "SIM" in the People application's view option, the Phone dialer's list (left) still has both SIM contacts and google contacts, they are double. I don't want to delete the contacts from SIM card, as sometime I may be able to use the SIM card in other phone for emergency call (in case of battery off, etc.). Any one can the advise how to do?

Motorola Droid X :: Get Google Contacts To Phone List

Jul 19, 2010

So I realized last night that if you make a group in Contacts, that group is created on the Phone Contact List, not in your Google Contacts, and those contacts are then copied to the Phone Contact list. Thus, you can add all the contacts you want to the Phone Contact list, which has the side effect of being able to use the Verizon backup app to make a backup of your contacts.Kind of pointless, but might be useful to people who want to change their default Google account for whatever reason and get some crucial contacts back after a hard reset using Verizon's MyBackup.

HTC Wildfire :: Way To Disable Displaying SIM Contacts From Phone Contact List?

Sep 9, 2010

I've just got my Wildfire and I'm pretty much satisfied, there's one thing that bothers me though. When I press the "phone" button, the list of contacts appears with a keypad. Everything's fine except for the fact, that I have all my contacts doubled - it displays those from the phone memory as well as those from the sim card. Now - this does not apply to the regular "people" list. in its menu, you can tap "view" and select the items you want to see. so I unchecked "Sim" and "Google" contacts and all I have is a neat list of phone contacts. I cannot find any such option for the phone list. Yes, I could use the "contacts" list to find people but there's another problem - it does not offer this awesome filtering by keypad that is present in the "phone" list. I can only open the keypad and type exact parts of people's names using either standard input or t9. what happens in the "phone" list, is that it seeks for contacts already on basis of the keypad button you've pressed. for example, in order to type Tom using normal input, you have to press 8 6 6 6 6. In the 'phone' list you only have to press 8 and 6. all in all, the best thing would be to have both worlds combined. but the easiest way to solve my problem would be simply to disable SIM contacts from the regular phone list. Otherwise I'll have to delete them from my simcard, which is not the best solution.

Motorola Droid :: Contacts Sync Phone To Gmail List Not Syncing

Nov 24, 2009

Currently if I add/modify a contact in gmail it will sync without issue to my phone But if I happen to add a contact onto my phone or change something on my phone, that contact is not being synced to my gmail contacts (it stays on the phone, just doesn't go into gmail as well). Thoughts? I currently only sync 'My Contacts' from gmail to my phone not sure if this matters or not. I don't see an option to sync the other way as I did when using Google Sync on my blackberry.

Android :: Custom Contacts Field With A Set List Of Values And Contacts Lookup Performance

May 28, 2010

I'm pretty sure it's not viable to do what I'd like to based on some initial research, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask the community of experts here in case someone knows a way.

I'd like to create a custom field for contacts that the user is able to edit from the main Contacts app; however, the user should only be allowed to select from a list of four specific values. A short list of string values would be ideal, but an int with a min/max range would suffice.

I'm interested in knowing if it's possible either way, but also wondering if it make sense to go this route performance wise. More specifically, would it be better to look up a contact (based on a phone number) each time a call or SMS message is received or better to store my own set of data (consisting of name, numbers, and the custom field) and just syncing contact info in a thread every so often? Or syncing contacts the first time the app is run and then registering for changes using ContentObserver?

Android :: Filter Out Contacts From Contacts Pick List / Create New Contact

Aug 19, 2009

My application wants a functionality of picking a contact from the phone contact, I have achieved this using the following intent Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI); startActivity ForResult(intent, 001); I wanted few more functionalities
- An option to create a new contact from the pick list, similar to the one which is available in inbuilt Launcher appliation
- Set of contacts should be filtered from display i.e already selected contacts should not be displayed
- Filtering of contacts should be based on the phone number i.e a contact might have two phone numbers associated with and wants to filter out the phone number which is selected I guess above can be achieved by implementing my own pick list using contacts provider, is there any other way without implementing the new pick list

Android :: Display A Native Activity With A Pick-list Of Android Phone Contacts Only On Eclair And Above

Jun 1, 2010

I want to show the user a flattened pick list of all their contacts phone numbers and it must work from versions 1.6 up. I have read the related questions on SO and the Android documentation for Eclair (http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/contacts.html#legacy).

The problem is, even splitting my code into a factory class and specific implementations does not work for me because using Contacts.CONTENT_URI only shows contacts not individual numbers. What I need is this for version 1.6

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Phones.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PICK_CONTACT);

And the equivalent for 2.0 and above.

Even if I get their example to work, by building against the 2.1 API am I not stopping my app being visible on the Market to users with earlier versions of the OS? I can't launch it against a 1.6 emulator, for example.

HTC EVO 4G :: Facebook Contacts - Unsync Them In My All Contacts List Etc

Jun 4, 2010

Ok, so this is my first time with Android. When I first set the phone up with Facebook, it pulled EVERY friend I have and puts them in my phones contacts. After searching, I found that I can unsync them in my 'all' contacts list etc, but they are still showing up when I push 'PHONE' at the bottom of the home screen. They are behind the dialer. Is there anyway to set that screen to show recently dialed numbers or favorites or something?

Android :: Getting List Of Contacts On SenseUI 2.1?

May 5, 2010

This is simple enough on every other version of Android, including SenseUI 1.5.

//For Contacts
Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
this.startActivityForResult(pickIntent, RESULT);
//For Phones
Intent pickIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Phones.CONTENT_URI);
this.startActivityForResult(pickIntent, RESULT);

On SenseUI 2.1 (HTC Incredible) this shows a list of numbers (the URI number). So you get a list of 1-200 if you have 200 contacts. Selecting one of the contacts you can then gather all of the information needed. Is there any good work around known?

Android :: Contacts List IOS - Not Able To Find Anything

Oct 29, 2010

So I've searched "Contacts list iphone" and what not but wasn't able to find anything. And I might get crucified for this but The one thing that the iphone did that I really liked was how you can easily scroll down to the contact you want by tapping the letter you want to scroll down to on the right hand side of the contact list. I have a Droid X and I LOATHE the way it works (I have to scroll first, then move the scrollbug down to where I want it). Is there an app that will show the contact list a la iOS where you have the letters on the righthand side and you just tap on the letter you want to scroll down to?

Android :: Loading A Large List Of Contacts Into A ListAdapter - Making It Responsive

Jan 23, 2009

I need to load Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI and Contacts.ContactMethods.CONTENT_EMAIL_URI into a ListActivity.

Since these are separate Content URIs, I have two separate cursors and can't construct a SimpleCursorAdapter for use in the ListActivity.

The problem is that I have more than a thousand records for CONTENT_EMAIL_URI, which were automatically loaded by GMail. The app becomes unresponsive and Android prompts to kill the app or wait.

Is there a way to make the ListActivity content load in the background, like, by writing a custom implementation of android.widget.Adapter?

Or is it more feasible to use a single cursor, by manually running the SQL query on the contacts tables?

HTC Desire :: Number Not Available From Contacts List

Jun 9, 2010

If i goto call the other half from my contacts list, it says that hs number is not available If I dial it manually, it connects ok. If I interrogate the contact details the number is correct except that the desire has automatically changed the number from 0781. to 44781 without a + infront of it. Could this be a the problem? If he calls me, the number displayed is the same as the contact details. I have noticed however that his facebook picture is an old one. Could it have something to do with the number that he has on his facebook profile.
