In my android application, I would like to retrieve the birthday field from google.com/contacts, as this field isn't synchronized in the android contacts application. How can I have a read access to google contacts? I saw the Google contacts APIs, did I have to use it? Which one? The Portable version? Or is there a simple way to read these contacts, as Android does when there is a synchronization?

Because I use gmail my contacts list on google is an insane mess...to deal with this I have my hero only sync my contacts in a group called, obviously enough "Contacts" - this is great - it gives me just the phone numbers of the people I actually call and speak with....but occasionally I do need to access a contact that I don't want saved to my permanent contact list...how do I view these contacts? Is there a way?

FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("/ sdcard/images/"+imageName);

But it doesn't seem to be working. It just says the location isn't found, which can happen if there are no permissions to read/write to the location.
I want my app to access database every hour and read next record from the table then update desctop widget and send notification. I know that there is AlarmManager which I can use to register my Intents but they are deleted when the phone is turned off or rebooted. Is there any other android class/service that I would update my application continuously even when I reboot my phone?

Is Google Latitude available in the UK or not, because it doesn't seem to be working for me? I have received the RC9 update for G1 and have Google Maps 3.0. Is there an a Google Latitude application that I should have or do I access everything through Google Maps? When I go the www.google.com/latitude on my G1, it offers me the option of "launching" Latitude but it just takes me to Google Maps. From there, I cannot see the locations of my Google "friends" (who have agreed to show location), neither does my own location show up on the Latitude homepage on the web (I have settings turned to "detect my location automatically").

However, I would like it if the user could somehow save this value to a Google Spreadsheet.My problem is, I have no idea how to authenticate with Google. I have been Goggle'ing this for awhile, and found: http://code.google.com/apis/documents/docs/3.0/developers_guide_proto.However, when I try to use the command ClientLogin in my code, it tells me this is undefined. I have the Build set to SDK 7, which is Android+Google, and I have: import google.*; (I did this just to play it safe); Anyway, I would appreciate any help I could get. If there are any tutorials or code snippets out there that can help, please send me the link.

View 33 Replies View RelatedI seem to be having a sync issue with my Droid.When I add a contact to my phone, it doesn't sync into "My contacts" in Gmail; it'll sync into "All contacts". So, a couple of questions:
1) How can I get the phone to add new contacts created on my Droid into "My contacts" in Gmail?
2) I'm trying to understand the point of "All contacts". Why does Gmail want to keep a list of anyone that I've ever sent an email to? Otherwise, it'll be simple enough to just merge the two groups and call it a day.(Note: When I bought my Droid I did NOT have the VZW sales person transfer my contacts or any data from my old Blackberry to my Droid. I used Google Sync on my BB and synced my contacts from my BB to Gmail, then when I got the Droid, it automatically pulled my contacts from Gmail.)(FWIW, yes, I did a search and found two great threads: http://androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting/15042-how-do-i-push-droid-contacts-back-gmails-my-contacts.html and http://androidforums.com/motorola-droid/15069-contacts-dont-really-synchronize.html but I have a different situation than most of those guys and I'd actually prefer to sift through and merge a couple of contacts from "All contacts" to "My contacts" every once in a while than deal with a backup and factory reset.)

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I switched to the Samsung Fascinate from a previous non-smart phone, I transferred all of my contacts from the phone over. I think in the setup somewhere I chose to convert my contacts to Google contacts. That was really confusing at first, because I didn't know what it did, and didn't even remember I had done that until recently. I'd like to get the contacts back to phone contacts (not Google contacts) for multiple reasons, which I won't bother listing for now. So, does anyone know how to UN-convert or re-convert Google contacts back into phone contacts? I really don't want to have to recreate all of the phone contacts, because I've got a LOT of them. I would remove my Google account from the phone, but I worry that would remove all of my contacts completely, which wouldn't help me.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI own a HTC hero (Orange). With talks of android updates becoming available, there seems to be a mad rush to back up everything so that nothing is lost on the update. There are many ways of doing this, but one of the most common problems, is that people have their contacts saved as 'Phone' contacts and not 'Google' contacts. This means that they will not sync with Google mail. There was no contact export available to me (I think because my firmware was still 1.5).
This seems to be a solution that will solve the problem without having to write out every single contact number in Google mail.
1. Enter android market.
2. Search 'Contact sync'
3. Download/Install this application.
4. Run the application
5. All contacts will be turned from 'Phone' contacts to 'Google' Contacts
6. These contacts will then be synchronized with your Google mail
This means that if your contacts are lost on your phone at any point (eg. an update), they can easily be 'Exported' back to your phone through Google mail.
I accidently deleted 44 contacts on google contacts. I still have them in my phone, as I don't have a data plan and the wifi wasn't enabled, thankfully.Now, I want my phone to get those contacts on the google contacts. Is it possible to do that?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Galaxy S4 and one of my favorite things to do on it was look up words. It was a great feature where all I would have to do is tap the microphone button and say "Definition blahblah" and then the definition of blahblah would pop up and be read out loud by the Text To Speech thing. It was awesome doing it to people because they would shut up and listen to my phone tell them whats what. But now my Google Now wont read definitions. Its is really annoying. I played around with the settings in the app and even with the TTS settings in the Language and Output in the My Device area of the phone settings but nothing is working. It still does TTS for other things like weather but just not for definitions of words.
