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?
I have successed regarding storing of Custom field in Contact database, i also viewed my data through LogCat by printing it using "Cursor". Can we view our Custom field from Main Contacts Application?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a custom data field and MIME type to the Contacts screen. Is there a way to do this such that when a user views a contact with my data saved on it, my field appears there? This is something I've seen other apps do--how do the Facebook, Twitter, Last.fm, etc. apps add their status information to contacts, for example? I can't seem to figure it out from the Contacts API documentation.

I was trying to read all Contacts field one by one and generated a v- card and store it into a database. When I have a huge number of contacts (say more than 150), while reading 155th contacts, I see my application is getting killed and cat log say it because of excessive JNI global refreences. Can anyone pls suggest what is causing the problem and how to solve it. Also, Im not seeing any errors if I have less than 150 contacts............
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am really trying to figure this out. So I go into Messaging and I'd like to type in the "to" field a contacts name, like facebook does it and it starts to list matches and then you just pick the one you want. Like it searches your contacts, but I can't figure out how to do this. Like I can only type in a number but I don't have anyones number memorized that's the point of having a saved phone book so am I missing something here?
View 9 Replies View Relatedat the bottom you see a "Add relationship" field. If you click Add relationship, you are presented with a list of relationships. In here I selected Father. There is then an input box next to it.
What are you supposed to put in there? I've already told Google this contact is my Father, even if I put his real name in as the contact details, it still gives me that option.
At first I thought perhaps it was for Google Now. For instance, my girlfriend is down as her full name, so when I say "Call my Girlfriend" it would call her. However it seems like that isn't the case.
I have just received my HTC Desire, last week. It's my first Android toy.
I've noticed than when synching with Outlook Contacts on the PC, some fields are not copied to the phone, for example the 'car' field, which is an additional phone number field.
Other than this, My previous phone was a BB Storm2. At the moment, My opinion is that, THe HTC desire is faster than the bb, its browser much better, but for day to day 'real world' use, the bb is much much better. More reliable, and although less options, but gives you those that you realy need.
I would like to show a custom input field (specifically, one containing only 9-0 and two extra buttons containing decimal separator (, or .) and a delete button). I could create a custom IME, but (as far as I know) that would have to be set by the user as the system-wide input method. Is there a way to implement an input method and bind it to a specific input field?

I tried to assign custom ringtones for few people. I did go to People -> click contact name that I want to change -> under Information tap, click Ringtone -> change ringtone. But, it doesn't work. I have two cell phones so I did try. I thought that ringtone that I made was wrong, but I go to Setting -> Personalize -> change default ringtone for same MP3 file. it works! However, I couldn't make it for specific contact. Is there any thing that I did it wrong or should I turn on or off something?

Intents in Android are an elegant way to pass messages between uncoupled components, but what if you want to send extra data with the Intent? I know you can add various value types, and objects that implement Parcelable, as extras, but this doesn't really cater for sending user defined types locally (i.e. not over a remote interface). Any ideas?
View 3 Replies View RelatedOften, a simple of ArrayAdapter does what I want and during early development I will provide the android.R.simple_list_item_1 for the view id required by the ArrayAdapter constructor. Is it possible to provide a customized view which is based on the android.R.simple_list_item_1 to the ArrayAdapter constructor?
I do not fully understand Android's 'include' functionality, but what I would like to do is something like:
Define a new TextView based on customizing the android.R.simple_list_item_1.
(I have no idea what the valid syntax would be)
code...
Reference my customized TextView. I assume that something like this would go into my layout directory. Then in my code I would do something like:
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View view = inflater.inflate(R.id.MyTextView, null);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, view.getId(), myArrayOfData);
Is this possible and if it is, what is the appropriate syntax to accomplish what I want?
Is it possible to add custom menu items to the native Contacts app or even to the Call Log?
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes Android MediaPlayer can only work with file sources? I would like play media (video) from a network stream, but the stream comes in a non-standard protocol, so I have to somehow feed Android MediaPlayer with the data only. Is there anyway to do that? I found a few web pages suggesting using a temporary file for the buffered media data etc. but I would like to minimize the I/O usage as much as I can, so I'm looking for a API only solution if there is any? how about JNI? but looks like the permissions going to be an issue with that also.
