Android : How Extra Information Can Be Attached To Contacts Entries
Jun 10, 2009
I'm trying to see how extra information can be attached to contacts entries. Looking at the SDK reference, I stumble upon the Contacts.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.Extens ions.html) and Contacts.People.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.People .Extensions.html) classes. Sadly I can't find any article about what theses classes are for and how to use them. My goal is to add a few extra fields to the contacts entries which do not fit in any of the current available field types (emails, im accounts, phone numbers, postal addresses). Is there a way to achieve this?

I have an application that generates a list with two buttons for each entry in the list.
It's working to a limited extent. I have run into a problem which I have not be able to resolve.
Can anyone point me to a tutorial or code sample, or both where I could see a working example of a list with buttons attached to individual list entries?

Sometimes when I add a new person to contacts, multiple duplicate entries get created. I've seen 2 to 3 entries for a new contact, and this has happened roughly 3 times since I got my phone a month or so ago.What's up?

I thought I understood that there was no capability to sync with Outlook via the USB cable so I imported all my contacts and my calendar to gmail and that worked fairly well. Except for contact updates being a pain.
The I discovered HTC Sync and installed that. The result was duplicate calendar entries and some, but not all, contact duplicates on the phone.
I deleted the duplicate contacts and re-sync'd so it removed those contacts from Outlook. Luckily I had just backed up my PST file so I was able to get them back.
How to delete all contacts and calender entries from the phone so I can try again.

I am sick and tired of deleting duplicate entries in contacts and calendar. There is no rhyme or reason. I get some contacts duplicated numerous times. I get duplicate appointments and my new ones refuse to link to the PC. I have tried everthing that two weeks of constant googling can come up with. I am sooooooo GD sorry that I purchased this POS phone and from my point of view the Android system is also a POS.
Next time I am going to finally bite the bullet and get an iPhone.
If anyone has something new please let me know what to do. I have deleted ALL contacts in Google. I have deleted ALL duplicate contacts at least a dozen times. The stupid system still adds, at random, duplicate contacts and tasks. The stupid phone has even linked contacts with no reason or input from me. The calendar has put holidays in numerous dates. Columbus day was in the calendar seven times when I did the last cleanup (I have done 3 seperate cleanups today alone). Independence day was put on both July 4th and 5th. When I deleted it from the 5th it disappeared altogether. I thought my old Palm Treo was bad.

I've been looking everywhere and I haven't found an answer still and it is frustrating the hell out of me.
When I go to messages, it lists a ton of e-mail addresses and duplicate names etc etc. When I go to people, these are not listed.
It seems like it is listing every single e-mail address i have ever e-mailed from my gmail account. How do I get rid of this??
For example: John Jones is not listed in "people". But if I go into messages, and check the contact list, it will show two entries:
"john jones: johnjones@gmail.com"
"john jones: johnjones@yahoo.com"
I was able to remove all of the facebook contacts it automatically added, which was stupid to begin with.

I have a Droid, and my friend just got a Samsung Epic, so I am trying to show him things.He has a google account (not a gmail account, not a google apps - a Google account with his own email address). He wants to sync his contacts and calendar.On my Droid, I go to accounts & sync > add account > Google > enter my address and password.i get offered to sync Calendar and/or Contacts, by clicking on the check box.On his Epic, he adds the account, but there are no options, no check boxes! Is this different somehow? It works fine with his gmail, but not his generic Google account. On my Droid it all works fine and everything is in sync.

Is there a way to sync my MobileMe information (contacts, calendar etc) with the Google Apps? I know it can be done as easy as exporting and importing but I am looking for a solution where I can always keep them in sync without doing anything. I used to have an iPhone and I still have a MacBook and so I've been using MobileMe to keep everything in sync. I am soon getting a Nexus One and I want to make sure my MacBook and N1 stay in sync as well. Any ideas?

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.

I am a Mac user (photographer/ videographer). I also rely heavily on my iPod Touch when mobile (i can often find a wifi signal when i am out and about). I use iCal on the Touch and iCal on my Mac as well as the address book on both everyday and as a Mobile Me user, my two devices sync so everything is mirrored and up to date. I also HATE AT&T for their terrible signal strength and coverage and have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years and this is why I don't have an iPhone. Okay, all that being said, is there an easy way to still use everything I love and rely on with my Mac (the calender and address book, mainly) and easily sync all of my existing information and future info to an Android based device? How easy is it to use an Android device with a Mac? I don't want to have to manually re-enter my entire address book into a new device.

In my application when a user clicks on a button I want to open the contacts application and display a particular contacts information. At the minute I have this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivity(intent);
This displays the contact application with all the contacts displayed. But how do I get it to display just one contact according to the contacts name or number?
This Code works: (answer)
Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, 23);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
startActivity(intent);

My app wants to send a data file by email. However, the data only exists inside the database. There is no physical file containing it. In order to make it possible to send this using INTENT_SEND, I need to return a file descriptor in ContentProvider.openFile(). This means I need to write my data out to a temporary file on disk somewhere so I can open it to get a real file descriptor. However, the email app doesn't necessarily use the file immediately, and *doesn't tell me* when it's finished with it, so I don't know when to remove the temporary file. As the file is likely to be quite large I don't want to keep it around for long periods.
What I'd really like to do is to be able to avoid the whole issue by using a callback to synthesise the data as and when the email app needs it, using some sort of pipe. Unfortunately due to the real file descriptor requirement I can't use Java pipes, there are no Unix fifo APIs that I can find, and you can't create a ParcelFileDescriptor from a Unix socket, which was my other option. Is there any easy way to do what I want, or do I need to start messing around with TCP sockets?

AVI file attached to gmail on Droid only offers PREVIEW as an option and my Rock Player app (which would play it) does not appear on list of apps to use. Movies and Video Player only come up and unlike Windows, there is no ability to browse for an app. (something that should be added to android). Is there a setting somewhere to fix up this goofiness? Been looking, but so far no luck.

One of my 'must-haves' is the ability to open any kind of attachment that comes in with an email (.doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, .jpeg, etc.) I was assured the Ally could with the application docs-to-go. I am now finding that it's a hit and miss with opening files. Files that have the .doc extension will come up and say 'can't open this video'.

I am having some of the following exceptions:
CODE:................
I have googled it and see that it has something to do with popups and turning the screen, but there is no reference to my code.
The questions are:
Is there a way to find out exactly when this issue is happening? other than turning the screen, is there another event or action that triggers this error? how do I prevent this to happen?

We are starting the e-mail intent of the user's choice (createChooser) and sending a zip file. This zip file is created right before the email sends, but we need to make sure the file is there until the email actually gets sent. Once the e-mail is sent, it would be nice to have this file deleted instead of sitting around eating SD card storage. Is this possible? (it can't be done in onActivityResult, e-mail intents don't actually finish, they cancel and thread the sending in a background service...so when onActivityResult gets called the e-mail might not have sent yet). Any ideas?

I am trying to launch an email intent with an attached jpg. I did:
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
startActivity(intent4);
this launches the email activity.
But when I try to add DataAndType (my jpeg attachment). It fails with
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { action=android.intent.action.SENDTO data=file:///data/data/com.mycompany.mypackage/files/temp-picture type=JPEG
Intent intent4 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO,
Uri.fromParts("mailto", "testemail@gmail.com", null));
intent4.setDataAndType(Uri.parse("file://"+ mTempFilePath),
Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG.name());
startActivity(intent4);

I am getting the following remotely from clients so I don't know what hardware etc they are using.
CODE:................
This is happening because of a ProgressDialog
CODE:.............
The Activity looks like this in the Manifest.
CODE:........................
So what could this mean? I think it has something to do with the Activity being destroyed then created but as you can see I have the configChanges set correctly.

I have a CursorAdapter attached to a ListView, the ListView contains checkboxes for every row. When I check/uncheck a checkbox in a row it will update it to a 0 or 1 in the database (This is working fine) I also have another checkbox in the same Activity that when pressed will disable all the checkboxes in the ListView [ setEnabled(false) ].
The problem is that when I press this checkbox the ListView checkboxes return to their initial state when I started the activity. It does not matter the number of checkboxes I changed during the activity.
However, if I press the back button and then re-enter the activity all modifications are saved because the Cursor is refreshed. I am calling notifyDataSetChanged() at the end of the the methods that disables all the checkboxes.
I also tried this for every checkbox in the ListView but it did not work (was unable to check a checkbox) Any ideas?

I've literally spent 15+ hours trying to figure out this one bug (when I should be studying for finals). Any help is greatly appreciated. The bug appears on the dev1 phone running cupcake. It was not present before the upgrade. Basically, the problem is that when a activity with a webview and 2 threads is run, the service that runs after it will always crashes the process (but it works fine when the debugger is attached). The worst part is that it crashes at arbitrarily places in the service, so I can't isolate the error.
The details:
I have an activity with a WebView. The activity executes two threads, one after the other using the basic new Thread(new Runnable() {public void run()... Both threads use the same handler to report back results to the main activity. Flow works like this: when the activity starts, the first thread gets data to construct the URL that the webview will load (using DefaultHTTPClient). Then when the user navigates to a certain page, the second thread is again fired (using DefaultHTTPClient) to get some xml. This works fine.
The problem happens right afterwards. Once the activity with the webview finishes (it calls finish on itself), a service is started that has a thread that using DefaultHttpClient to downloaded some xml, process it, etc. The service crashes at arbitrary points with no error messages, simply displaying a memory dump, and kills the main process with it. When I attempt to debug the process, it runs just fine w/ no crashes. I've repeated this at least 30 times, with the same result. (no crash w/ debugger, crash when installing signed apk file to device and running it).
The program doesn't crash when the threads are removed from the activity with webview. So even if the webview activity runs (but all threads are removed), the service runs just fine regardless of the debugger.
Here is how my threads start (both of the ones in the activity with the webview, and the main thread in the service that is launched afterwards):
CODE:..........

Here is what logcat displays:

I know how to upload pictures to a Facebook album, and I know how to make a status update, but how do I do both at the same time, so I can comment on the picture? (This is not the same as giving the picture a caption, which I also know how to do.)
