Where SMS/Contacts are added/updated/deleted, how can I write an App- Service to know the contents change? The changes are possibly caused by App activities or SYNC activity, or any else.Any content observer or intents I should look into?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have updated my Xperia X10i here in UAE. Everything seems good with the update. I have restored my recent backup that I took before updating, but unfortunately, contacts are not appearing. In call log, I can see names, and also in messaging when I add contact, it shows the list, but not in phonebook. If anybody knows whats the issue.

Uri simUri = Uri.parse("content://icc/adn");
Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(simUri, null, null, null, null);
prn("Number of SIM Contacts are.."+cur.getCount());
int row =0; while(cur.moveToNext()){
String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("name"));
prn("Name..."+name); String data = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex("number"));
if(!data.equals("")) prn("Number.."+data);
String where = null; if(!name.equals("") && !data.equals("")){
where = "tag =" + name + "AND" + "number =" +data;

row++; } prn(row+" are deleted"); cur.close(); cur = null;
I have an application that updates all the contacts belonging to a group, I currently do the following : -> Get the group id -> Get all the contacts id inside this group -> For each of them I am doing an update on the contact => This is really heavy and seems to take time in real phones while I expect it to be "instantaneous". I am wondering if we can, in the ContentResolver.update() method specify a kind of join. For instance I'd like to do something like : UPDATE <people> SET <people.name>="<new name>" FROM People p, Groups Memberships gm WHERE p.person_id=gm.person_id and gm.group_id=<my_group_id> Does anyone know if it's possible or not? The update method has got a "where" attribute but can we use this attribute for complexe requests?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm developping an application in Android 1.6 (and can't use 2.0 or older).
I add a new contact on my phone as following code...
After that, I add phone numbers in the same way. It works as I am able to view the new added contact with following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
this.startActivity(intent);
My problem is that, after adding and viewing the new contact, I can't see it in Contacts application unless I synchronized all my contacts (I also did a search with the contact's name, found it, nevertheless it wasn't added in contacts list).
How can I programmatically update the contacts in order to immediately have my new contact added in Contacts application?
Ok im trying to link my contacts to their facebook accounts if they have one. I tried linking someone today and they are not in my facebook list.

Sim IS UNCHECKED but in dialer both are showing and in contacts/people google only shows until I want to search contacts all sim contacts show in the results, resulting in multiple numbers for one contact.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm going to keep this as simple as possible......
I presume after the update I'll have to set everything back up (email accounts, ringtones, volumes, notifications, scenes)? I can copy my music and pictures onto my PC and I don't care about SMS.
I'll have to re-install apps and set them all back up too.
All I care about are my contacts really. I don't want to use HTC sync as that wants to copy them to Outlook and I keep my work contacts in outlook (not my personal ones). I don't use my google account for anything other than the market so I don't really want to sync with google.
Can I just copy them all to the SIM card? Will I lose pics and facebook links?
I followed all of the instructions and backed up my contacts using the downloaded most recent update service. Now i have updated my phone to android 2.1 and i try to recover my contacts. in the update screen it went to 97% and then an error. But realistically it has only imported say 30% of my contacts, and the contacts it has recovered it has duplicated so there are 2 entries for every piece of information. Can someone from SE please inform me whether they are working on a fix that we can download that will rectify this issue or do i need to manually source all of my contact information all over again. If so is there any way of loading the backup information on the computer?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did the manual update everything went fine all is well..then i went to see someones number and boom its not there..i had 30 contacts before update and now i had 7

Luckily i had a backup app on there so was able to restore them all but dont know why this happened
I just updated my Moment at the Sprint store to 2.1...is there any way to retrieve my old phone contacts from 1.5 or do I have to re write all of them again.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed android 2.1 today but for some reason I can't restore my contacts.I followed the instructions on the sony ericsson webpage and used the SE backup software to make a backup of my contacts, mms, photos etc. When I restored everything after the update everything was restored except my contacts. How can I get my contacts back? Is there some way to extract them manually from the backup file or something? The backup software can't seem to restore them for me.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDoes my contact list need the socialnetworking.apk to update the data for the contacts from FaceBook? (pictures, status.)My "last" updated was a date AFTER I removed the .apk, but since then it was stuck basically on the 24th of Oct.Pictures I know are different on facebook dont come to my phone.I tried deleting and re-adding the account, and that fixed it, but thats not a long term solution.Does it need that APK or not? If not - how do i get it to sync more often?
View 10 Replies View RelatedI wanted to manually upgrade my eris but I wanted to back up all my contacts first. I find out the HTC sync doesn't work with windows 7 =[ I tried for about 2 hours and gave up on that one. I noticed you could sync your phone with your gmail account you used on the phone. Only I forgot which one that is I don't ever use gmail so I don't know what email I made. I really want to update it because I'm so impatient but I don't want to have to redo all my contacts.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI did the over the air 2.1 update and now my People app sync'd all 2000 of my Gmail contacts and there appears to be *no* option to sync just the 'My Contacts' group of my Gmail account.There was an option for that in Eris 1.5 (although I remember it being a little hard to find). But I've searched everywhere, and there is no "Sync Groups" option on any of the tabs of the People app. I also tried wiping the Contacts Storage app and resyncing, but that was no help. There are no options in Settings->Accounts & Sync either.This is a crippling regression bug, how could they have shipped the 2.1 update like this? Or am I just missing some hidden sync option?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI just recently got my xperia x10 and had to almost immediately upgrade to the 2.1 system. I am noticing a few things that I'm not fussy about from the 1.6 system but the thing that is bugging me the most is that I cannot (figure out how to) link contacts in my phonebook to their facebook and twitter accounts. In 1.6, when you edited a contact it gave you the option to click LINK. I cannot find any of this on the new system. As well, for contacts that I had linked before, their facebook profile pic (current from the time when i linked them before upgrading to 2.1) shows up on their contact information (i usually only link facebook, as i dont use twitter as much) and their profile is linked. However when i go into EDIT, it says FACEBOOK, Timescape and a big exclamation mark that has a message beside it saying : Timescape Plug-In Manager contact information is not editable on this device. i SHOULD be able to edit and link all my contacts. that was the whole purpose of the xperia having this timescape program.
