Android :: Need Access To Contact Data
Sep 3, 2010
Alas I have about 500 contacts in my phone book and for some reason after synch'ing them with thunderbird the display name is random last, first...first last. So I thought I would put a quick widget together to just re-do al my display names to last, first. The code I use is below, however I am not getting last / first values. The keys in the cursor exist (data1, data2), but the values were "1" and null respectively. Code...

Anyone have any ideas? I can't imagine Pandora needs to know my co-workers email addresses to determine what songs I like. If there isn't another logical explanation I have to assume they're collecting contact data.

Seems no direct way to get all info (name,number,phone,email,IM,organization total data) of one contact. Is that so? If I want to get all these data,how could I do?

Do you have steps for me to pull Contact data off a phone and put it into an emulator for test purposes? The device has either the 1.5 or 1.6 SDK. An alternative datasource would a Gmail file export. If I open the Contacts app and use the Accounts menu in a 2.0 emulator the acore process of the emulator crashes. Both contacts and contact group data is needed since I do not have a 2.0 device and I have code that needs the data to run. I thought somebody on this list might easily answer.

After a fight with some code intended to set contact photos in the contacts DB on 2.2, the contacts are now unable to sync - I get:
android.database.sqlite.SQLiteException: unknown error: Unable to convert BLOB to string
every time the contact provider attempts a sync, and a popup telling me that com.google.process.gapps has died.
I think this means that there is duff data in ContactsContract.DATA somewhere. Is there any way to work out which mimetypes correspond to which columns and types in the DATA table, so i can sanitise it ?
Here's the stack from the crash:

I've noticed a lot of programs (Barcode Scanner, Where, Google Translate, Google Maps, Zedge, & others) want access to Read/Write Contact Data. Is there ANY legitimate reason I would want to allow this for these particular apps?

I have a Windows web server already set up with a website (unlimited application pools) and I want to be able to access a database on that server via the Android app I'm developing. How can I do this? Can someone point me to a tutorial or give code example of how this cross-platform (Android/Java to ASP.NET/C#) communication can be done? (I'm trying to create a leader board or global scoreboard for my Android game on my server.)

Uri uri = Uri.parse("file:///sdcard/"); Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, uri); startActivity(intent);

I have a problem using adb shell on my Google IO phone. I get shell access, I can type cd /data/data, but then when I type "ls" it says "opendir failed, Permission denied". Same when I type "sqlite3". I didn't think I'd need to root my phone, but what setting did I miss to get access to data on the phone?

I am developing an application with TripIt integration and I make a call to their API and I get all my data in JSON format and save it in an object ListTripResponse. This object contains all the data I need over all the application. What I do now, I write this object to a text file (i serialize my object and save it as a file with ObjectOutputStream) and in every activity I read this file. But this file is pretty long and it takes a while to read it. And i have to use and read this object in every activity! Isn't there a better way to do this? I cannot save this file in a database because the structure is to complex.

I am just digging into Android, and want to build a simple application that gets data from wifi/3g from a website, like a classic RSS feed, and/or a post-back to a remote database. A tutorial that does a good job explaining it to a "busy developer". Can anyone reference a good tutorial site, or a book that covers this topic well ?

I want to try some fade/blur effect like in winamp visualization plug- ins. getPixel/setPixel way is very slow and do not allow to achieve decent frame rate. Direct access to pixels array could speed up processing.

I want to store some additional data for each contact on Android.
I would have in mind creating my own database table for it, and then bind them to the real contact via a unique id.
I am wondering if Android has built in functionality to store additional data against contacts?
EDIT 2
Is there a defined field for birthday of the contact?
How do I store a date field?

I found a new method to transfer contact data from Android to iPhone,I have used HTC desire for nearly one and half years and all the contact data in this device is so important for me. Then this year my brother gave me an iPhone 4S as my 21 years birthday present. It was a great gift, however, the problem comes to me that how I can transfer my contact data to my new iPhone 4s.
I searched Google and got some ways such as: using the Sim card, syncing to Google contacts; using Synkontact; or import and export my contact data using Moborobo.
I don't like to upload my contact data to any unknown internet space, so I choose not to use Google contacts and synkontact. Why? Because I don't trust any web storage space! So, Moborobo become my choice. I can safely export contact data on my HTC desire to my computer and import it to my lovely iPhone 4s. Ok, it's done! Easy and safe.
If you get other ways to transfer data between iPhone and Android.

I connected to my live device using the adb and the following commands:C:>adb -s HT829GZ52000 shell
$ ls
ls
sqlite_stmt_journals
cache
sdcard
etc
system
sys
sbin
proc
logo.rle
init.trout.rc
init.rc
init.goldfish.rc
init
default.prop
data
root
dev
$ cd data
cd data
$ ls
ls
opendir failed, Permission denied
$ I was surprised to see that I have access denied. How come I can't browse around the directories using the commandline like this? How do I get root access on my phone?

I am looking for a way to get sensors' data ( especially Accelerometer) directly without using Listener approach. Actually I need to have the data really fast! I can not find any way to read sensor data by myself. Anybody knows anything about it? Is it possible to read data with more than 50Hz?

I am experiencing a problem where when the android device wake up from sleep, the Activity would take forever to get redrawn(and have to terminate it most of the time). I am not sure why, but when I comment out the code below where it retrieves an object from the database based on id stored in the bundle, the problem goes away.
Not sure why the db transaction is causing an issue.
secondly, is it better to store the object in bundle instead of storing its id and retrieving it from db in onCreate?
CODE:...............

I have an idea about using an old phone to tell me the temperature at a remote location. I need to know when a greenhouse or any remote location approaches freezing by sending an alarm to my computer or another Android phone. I thought about something similar to remote GPS locating but getting the temperature data instead of the GPS data. I could just leave my old Android phone in the Greenhouse. I know absolutely nothing about App development, I started to look at the SDK but first I needed to know Java, BASIC is as far as I ever got on a BBC.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 which I dropped and can no longer use the screen. The phone boots up but the screen remains black. I cannot access the files via usb, and debugging is not on so I assume I cannot use adb. I have several files I need to extract from my phone, including some financial data from an application, contact list, etc.

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?

I would like to store some app-specific data in the contacts db. Is it safe to stuff random things into the Contacts.Settings table? Will it affect the GUI? Does anybody have an example of doing that? It's not really clear to me if there's a proper mechanism for this, or if the settings table is reserved for the systems own use.
BTW my first attempt was to use an app specific database, but then users would uninstall the app, reinstall it later and wonder why it didn't work. My second attempt was to stuff the data into the JPEG headers but the sync process deletes them, presumably for security reasons. So if there's no way to store my things in the contacts db directly, I think I'm out of luck - I'll have to look at steganographically encoding the data into the raw pixels themselves!
