Android :: How To Access SIM Phonebook?
Jul 12, 2010
I am trying to read and write contacts on the SIM phonebook. First I tried writing a contact with GetContentResolver.insert(), passing RawContacts.CONTENT_URI as URI and ensuring the column RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME had the value "SIM", and adding 2 lines (1 for4 name and 1 for phone) to Data.CONTENT_URI, linked by contact ID. This seemed to work: the contacts showed in the contact list with the SIM logo next to them, but they wouldn't survive a reboot... apparently that's just a placeholder in memory, which is synced with the real SIM at startup and at every change.

I am looking for a good phone book app that would allow quick access to all of my contacts sorted by groups. All i want is a contact list with group name tabs at the top or something like that. But no... not a single app can do this. Come of them support groups, others dont, but all of them make you jump through hoops to change them on the fly.
So far I have tried:
The Original Android Contacts
Phonebook
aContacts
Contact Blast
Star Contacts

I've got my X10 yesterday, and was transferring my phone book across. But i use to have one name with 2 number such as "mobile + home" but it only transfered one across, so i want to edit the contacts, but it's really slow so is there a way i can link my computer to edit my phone books like the nokia pc suit. because I've downloaded a pc ompanion which does nothing except updating and transferring files.

I just got my Droid Three Days ago and I love it syncing everything together in my contacts list (FBook and Google Contacts all Syncing)However the one thing it doesn't do so far that I'd really like to make it do is take my Birthdays from my Contacts List and Automatically place them on my Calender. (Even with the computer it's a lot of work to put it on my G-mail calender)Are there any Apps that could assist in this?

Does anybody know if Phonebook 2.0 is out yet, I've seen pictures for it and a link to download it, but it just takes me here but it looks like a terrific app, but I cannot find it anywhere to download. Does anyone know where I need to go to find it? Or is it even out yet?

I have a problem in querying phonebook contacts. What I need to do is get a list of contacts that have both phone and email entered or are of a specific type.
Basically like this:
CODE:...............
Now, the problem is, that RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE does not exist in the ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, which I use with my query. I'm guessing I'd need to join another table, but have no idea how to do so.

The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.
Much improvement for sure !
That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost;
I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.
This is what I'd like to share;
- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database.
When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:
CODE:.........
When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.
A couple of additional observations;
- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ?
- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ...
- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:
CODE:.........
Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK.
Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);
How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?

I just got the Sony Xplod MEX-BT5700U head unit installed in my car.
It works great! Sound is awesome, and it connects both BT Audio and BT phone.
Here's the problem I'm having... In trying to copy the phonebook to the head unit.
When I start the transfer, nothing happens. No notification on the droid, or anything at all.
While further troubleshooting, I took a look at the Bluetooth Status screen. It shows XPLOD: Connected Audio & Phone.
When I start the PB transfer (from the Xplod) -- It shows:
XPLOD: Paired, but not connected.
I try to reconnect them, but until I exit the PB Transfer screen on the Xplod, it just won't connect.

Today is quite a big day to me. After all the work, studies and sleepless nights that I've been through, I've decided to share all that with the community opening the source of Phonebook Sharing. We have been chosen by the Android powered users as well as by Google as one of the ADC's Top 20 Social Networking applications. This application explores and makes use of many many features available by the platform (Android 1.5 / 1.6) as well as custom components/features that the platform does not provide yet, such as ListView pagination. Not just the Android client but also the J2EE server, I've made available quite a few interessting things such as Video Streaming and EJB3 stuff. I've also built a fake server that responds to all the request events made by the android client therefore you will be able to run client/ server and see how the communication goes. I'm still wrapping up the project building some documentation on our Wiki section.

I'm trying to develop an application on Android 2.1 emulator, My application connects in background to a remote server through an HTTPConnection with REST Protocol, and gets updates in JSON format. A Digest parses these JSONObject and then fills its local Databases with the new datas. The Server can also send to the mobile application a list of new contacts to add in the system PhoneBook. Here's my question: how can I make a new contact from a bunch of datas and insert it in the system PhoneBook in Android 2.1, without any interaction with the user? Moreover, how can I get these datas back when I need it? I have tried to do it like the ContactAdder in the ContactManager sample(http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ContactManager/ index.html) does, but it works only if I specify an account for the sync function, and I don't need this feature in my application, so I don't have any account to select! Is there a way to do the same things the ContactAdder does without specifying an account (something like creating "Phone-only (unsynced) contacts")?

I use my phone in my car a lot and I noticed on this phone when I paired it to the blue tooth in my car I can make and receive calls but it does not recognize the address book from my phone. I have to dial the phone. I have a UConnect blue tooth car kit and I have never had a problem with other phones.

Had my Hero a while now but still cant figure out why all my contacts do not appear in my phonebook.
I'm still having to go into People to find phone numbers. Surely both the phonebook and People should have the same contacts in? Or do they just appear on the phonebook list once you've contacted them?

I have a small but annoying problem with my android phone. In my contacts i have ~70 contacts named "(no name)" as you can see here:
If I tap on it, it shows me that it's somehow connected to Whatsapp:
Why are those entries not linked to the regular contact? I have this problem with every ROM i use....
I can't delete those entries but the phone tells me that they will be hidden instead. Is there an easy way to fix that instead of trying to delete every single contact?

I love my N1 but I need to be pointed in the right direction.
Biggest problem with my Phonebook: When you call someone it obviously goes into ur call log. But then it also goes into your "frequently called" section in your favorites tab. What if I dont want someone to know who i called. Is there a way to disable fequently called section? It sends all the numbers you call in there as if its an alternate call log. I obviously know how to delete my call log.
ChompSMS: When I receive a Facebook notification " such and such wants to be ur friend, type "add" to add or "info" for info, etc. When I type add/info/next as I did on my BB it sends the person a message now saying "next/add/info". I have to wait for my FB notification which is about almost 15mins later or more to do it thru the app. Another problem on Chomp is when I send someone a pic and they reply from the MMS, it replies back to me with a blank multi media message.

1) Why I can't synchronize my phonebook nei with HTCSync, nei with my google account? HTCSync doesn't offer me a sync option (can't turn it on) and when I sync with my gmail account, Desire says it's sync'd, but in my web gmail account no contacts appears.
2) Why I can't add second gmail account to my phone? I enter login, password, phone offers me to sync, I sync, but in gmail widget second email account doesn't appears. (Yes, I have internet to my phone.)
3) Which is the best web browser for Android?
4) How can I remove T9 when I type SMS?
