I have name, phone number and E-mail information of a contact. I just want to insert the additional email and phone for the existing contact. My questions are: How to find the contact is already existing or not? How to insert the values on the additional or secondary address option?

I was wondering if the X10 can do the same as my last android Hero, which basically link the facebook info contact to my related phone contact, including the picture. I guess this wont need any hardware, but software. Has this improvement being asked or is it planned for future updates?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm faced to a big issue : I can't add datas to an existing contact I'm developing an application which manage contacts, I can add, delete or edit contacts. The creation is ok, because I create all types of datas (even if they are empty) for the contact (this is NOT a good way, I will change this later). So when I want to edit those datas I can find them to the data base (with Datas.CONTENT_URI) 'cause they already exist ! But if I create a new contact with the ANDROID contact application only the fill fatas are created for a contact. When I try to add new phone number for example with my application I get a error Here is my code to try to add phone number. Code...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to import and export contact on an Android phone as vCards. Export works fine and i get the vCard string.
But how can i insert a contact from a vCard string? I wasn't able to find any sample code .
I'm trying to add a phone number to an existing contact on android 2.1. Im currently using:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '1'";
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,null, selection, null,ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME+" COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {cursor.moveToPosition(oldcontactid);
contactid = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
if (Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",new String[]{contactid}, null);while (pCur.moveToNext()) {values.put(Phone.NUMBER,pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)));
values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_MOBILE);}pCur.close();}}
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Phone.CONTENT_URI, values);
but i get an error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown uri: content://com.android.contacts/data/phones
how would i be able to fix this?
I'm using a Android Wildfire and I used the following code to lookup the contact name of an existing phone number.
private String getContactNameFromNumber(String number) { String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME, Contacts.Phones.NUMBER };
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
Log.d(TAG, contactUri.toString());
// query time
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
// if the query returns 1 or more results
// return the first result
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.d(TAG, name);
return name;
}
// return null if no match was found return null;
}
I am unable to resolve the contact name. The logcat output shows the following
11-14 13:45:35.879: DEBUG/Test(3342): content://contacts/phones/filter/%2B919773653345
I met this problem at writing contacts by API for Android 2.0 or greater. Each time I write the same contact which already exist in my account (Google account) I got some part of contact aggregated ok but other did not. For example fields like FN, N, ORG, TITLE always are in one copy but TEL, EMAIL, ADR are added extra so after 2nd writing the same contact I have to copy the same TEL or EMAIL. How to force API engine to not repeat existed data?

View 10 Replies View RelatedIs is possible to change contact source on existing contacts?
I would like to modify some existing contacts so their contact source is changed from Phone to Google.
Somehow I changed the settings on my phone so that the predictive text has started prioritizing the names in my contact info when auto completing the text. For example, if I type "thr" it won't suggest "the" but "Theo". I recall changing a setting somewhere in the phone that enabled this, but now I want to turn it off and have no idea where this setting was buried away.

View 2 Replies View Relatedso i have gone thru everything i can find on this forum but i am at my wits end. i have been able to get my outlook contacts into my gmail account (the csv import worked reasonably well). what i don't understand is that i can view a contact in gmail and see phone numbers, address, email, etc. when i view on the G1 all i get is their email. what am i doing wrong? yes, i have gone in the "display groups" settings and tried all options. anybody else having this problem? BTW, so far i like the functionality of the starcontacts application.

View 3 Replies View RelatedProlly a dumb question but I can't figure out how to update an existing contact using the call history. In the call history window I can press and hold on a call. This brings up the "save to contacts" option. Not sure what to do after that.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI know there have been sporadic complaints of random things happening (or not happening) since the update this week. So far, I myself haven't had any complaints, but I just noticed that if I get a call WHILE I'm on a call, only the phone number of the new caller shows up, and none of their contact info. I remember the phone showing me everything before, i.e. name/caller ID photo etc. Is anyone else having this problem or find a way to fix it? I don't think I've reset it by turning it off and pulling the battery yet, not that I know that would do any good, and I'm not doing a factory reset. I've got a ton of apps I'd rather not lose.
View 21 Replies View Relatedok first, sorry if this is a thread already opened somewhere else. Please point me to it, i haven't found it yet. Now: as of 3 days ago, my Evo decided it no longer wants to sync my mobile phone numbers from gmail contacts over to my phone. Its only syncing some numbers from select random people, but mostly, it only synchronizes email addresses, nothing else. Yet again, the full contact info (no special, only standard fields, home phone, mobile, fax, work) is showing in gmail contacts, but not importing anything but email address only to the phone. Anyone figured out how to fix this? Is it a mapping issue (although i don't see how to map anything).

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my gmail account in my browser (desktop computer), I go to contacts and I see one entry for myself. It has all the info I want in it (I just added my address).When I go to my droid and find myself in the contact list, I see several sections that begin with "from blah@gmail.com" where it's my email address.Why isn't it only one big section instead of looking like it found my contact info multiple times in my gmail account requiring multiple sub-sections? How come I don't see my address in any of these sub-sections?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThree times in the last week contact info has disappeared from my google contacts/phone (Incredible). Twice, with different contacts, the home phone numbers just disappeared from both the phone and my google account. Last Saturday I entered a completely new contact info for a friend (incl. a picture) and on Sunday the contact was gone both from my phone and my google account. I always enter this information on my computer via google contacts and then it does get successfully synced to my Incredible and is available for a while.
When the contact disappears it's gone both from my phone and my google account info, it doesn't show in "all contacts" either - it's gone for good. I have created a groupd called "New Friends" where these contacts were placed. I belive they are still also automatically part of "My Contacts". It's been easy to notice the disappearance since I only have a few contacts in this "New Friends" group. I worry about this happening, esp if it's not easy to notice. I've seen other threads with this type of problem over the years when I searched, but there doesn't seem to be a solution for this rather serious problem.
I have 3 favorites to call. One directly dials the phone number when I hit the contact. The other 2 just bring up the contact info and I have to select the phone number to call them. I have the primary set OK on one, but I still just get the contact info rather than dialing the number automtically. The other I have the wrong number set as primary but I don't know how to change the primary from cell to home.

My wife brought up a good point the other day. In case of emergency, my phone couldn't be used to identify myself, or be used to contact her. This seems to be a major oversight on Googles part. When locked, all you can do is dial a number from the emergency screen. There is no option to call someone listed as an emergency contact. Leaving my phone unlocked is not an option.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust realized something that kind of upsets me. My buddy asked me for another friends phone number the other day so I of course went into contacts expecting to be able to text it to him like my dumb razr could. Much to my surprise I couldn't find the option, pretty disappointing considering he has an iPhone and made a HUGE deal out of it...
Ive tried Contact Sender which works, but I would like something that integrates into the "share" options in the contacts, or even the attachment menu in a text.
