Android : How To Store Contacts In Phone From A Text File?
May 10, 2010I have one txt file which contains contacts in vcf format, Now I want to update my address book (insert that contacts in my address book) using this txt file. How to do that?

I have one txt file which contains contacts in vcf format, Now I want to update my address book (insert that contacts in my address book) using this txt file. How to do that?
I have some reference data in a text file (~5MB) that I want to use with might android application.The file is of the format:
1|a|This is line 1a
1|b|This is line 1b
2|a|This is line 2a
2|b|This is line 2b
2|c|This is line 2c
What I want to know is the most efficient way (less memory, fast, size etc.) to use this file within my application.
a.) Should I save the file as a raw resource and open and read the whole file whenever I need a certain line.
b.) Should I convert the file to XML and use XPath to query the file when ever I need to look up a value
<!--sample XML -->
<data>
<line number="1">
<entry name="a">This is line 1 a</entry>
</line>
</data>
c.) Should I just copy & paste the whole file as a static string array in the application and use that.
[EDIT] I will also need to search this file and jump to arbitrary keywords e.g. "line 1a".
The question is in the title.

I already tried rename it to mp3, png, zip, but all these extensions still compress the file: if i open the apk using winzip, it shows tcfiles.png 4194304 -> 4080. I already heard about the "aapt -0" to store uncompressed, but no one tells how to do this from within eclipse. I don't call aapt by hand, i use the one generated by eclipse.

I can store them on the SDcard, but my question is will they be included when I package the application for the marketplace, or do I need to have the user download the files after they have the app on the phone? Where are larger files typically stored in Android apps or are large files not usually included?

View 1 Replies View RelatedFor example last night I went swimming. After my swim I got out and texted my friend "Hey man I'm done swimming, whats up"? Today I check my phone and I see that the same message got sent again randomly. I did not send the text again but somehow my phone re-sent that text, and literally Erased the original message that I sent myself.
Same thing happened the other night - I sent a text apologizing to a friend that I couldn't hang out with her. The next day the text got re-sent to her somehow, and she responded with "what are you talking about?". I was like "Idk wtf happened my phone is randomly re-sending texts to people". What's going on? I don't think this ever happened before the latest software update.

I cleared cache abd defaults if play store but still the issue persist.
When I install an app via apk file (because let's say the app is not yet available in Play but the apk was leaked), will I be able to get updates through Play once it has arrived there? Or will I have to reinstall the app from the Play Store and loose all app-related data (for example game states...)?

I have the latest Play Store and Play Store Services apps on SGS2 v4.1.2 stock rom.
I tried deleting both data and cache of both, I uninstalled the old app and also tried downgrading both Play Store App, but nothing worked.
I found that the APK files I receive for paid apps are not standard zip files, they seem corrupted or encrypted: can this be?
I am considering changing my email address. Is it possible to easily transfer my contacts and paid apps from the play store?
