My application wants a functionality of picking a contact from the phone contact, I have achieved this using the following intent Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI); startActivity ForResult(intent, 001); I wanted few more functionalities
- An option to create a new contact from the pick list, similar to the one which is available in inbuilt Launcher appliation
- Set of contacts should be filtered from display i.e already selected contacts should not be displayed
- Filtering of contacts should be based on the phone number i.e a contact might have two phone numbers associated with and wants to filter out the phone number which is selected I guess above can be achieved by implementing my own pick list using contacts provider, is there any other way without implementing the new pick list
I got my droid eris recently and I am loving this thing but yesterday I sat down to slowly enter all my contacts into the eris and I noticed something. There is no contact list, am I wrong? Because I have spent about 30 minutes trying to figure out where the contacts are on this thing and its just not there. By contacts I don't mean something complicated, I mean literally a button on or in the phone that will take me to a window which will allow me to enter a name and a number, and then will show me in alphabetical order, simple as that. I cant find it.

I've tried:
CODE:..................
And this only shows application that are preinstalled or can run the ACTION_MAIN Intent type.
I also know I can use PackageManager to get all the installed applications, but how do I use this to run a specific application?
Trying to do something fairly simple, select from a picklist of tracks.
I have some code that in theory works, and this is as follows;

I am trying to locate the intent to load the call log view , does android platform provide that out of the box? the functionality that i am looking is just like picking a contact from address book , you can do that by using intent.ACTION_PICK and using the people content URI
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI);
It 'll show all the contacts of the system and on selecting one it 'll return the data URI of that particular contact by using callback if you start it by using startActivityForResult. could we do the same with call log as well is their any intent for that?
My application needs to import some photos from Gallery. Indeed, the application groups several persons. I want to attach a photo picked from Gallery to each person. Do I need to develop a activity like edit Contacts? This involves developing the display of images in a grid. Or can I use a provider or something-like to avoid to develop a Gallery-like with memory leak?

View 17 Replies View RelatedI want to show the user a flattened pick list of all their contacts phone numbers and it must work from versions 1.6 up. I have read the related questions on SO and the Android documentation for Eclair (http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/contacts.html#legacy).
The problem is, even splitting my code into a factory class and specific implementations does not work for me because using Contacts.CONTENT_URI only shows contacts not individual numbers. What I need is this for version 1.6
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Phones.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(intent, REQUEST_PICK_CONTACT);
And the equivalent for 2.0 and above.
Even if I get their example to work, by building against the 2.1 API am I not stopping my app being visible on the Market to users with earlier versions of the OS? I can't launch it against a 1.6 emulator, for example.
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 RelatedIn my contacts list when I press the contacts button, I see each contact once. I have it set to only show contacts from my phone. When I go to send a text message and press contacts, my contacts are there multiple times, but I can't see any differences because they are named the same. For example, my son Adam shows up twice in the contact list in text messaging, but only once when I press contacts from my home page.

Everytime I plug my EVO into my PC I'm not getting the option list to either charge it, sync it, etc. It happens quite frequently. I have the Ask Me checked under the Connect PC Settings but for some reason it doesn't ask me all the time. The only thing that fixes it is a soft reset. It'll work for the day but the next day it won't work again. I've done a hard reset twice and still it does it. It's really weird.

View 7 Replies View RelatedUsing the API I am trying to create a contact, using the API 2.x and not the old one.
Here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html it only explains the old API. I haven't found any proper tutorial, example, etc. showing how to create a contact.
As far as I have figured out I have to create a raw contact, under raw contacts I found http: //developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html.
From there I tried:
CODE:...............
The last line of code shows that "Data.CONTENT_URI" cannot be resolved. It looks a little bit that this line of code is for the 1.6 API, I have changed the Data.CONTENT_URI to ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI. At least the code compiles and executes, but I still don't have a contact Mike Sullivan in my addressbook afterwards. I exchanged now as well the other "Data" with "ContactsContract.Data" still no changes.
Has anyone an easy example how to create a person in the addressbook on 2.x?
I made some progress, it looks like that I always need an account on my phone to add a contact. My phone has account type com.google and account name xxxxx@gmail.com. The emulator has nothing. I wonder to which account I have to add my contacts? Can I assume that I ALWAYS have exactly one gmail account and take this one?

I am trying to compose a list with some items expandable and some single items. I wish to have it so that when either a single item or expandable list child is clicked, I can call an intent based on the text of the item.I suppose expandable lists would work, but is there a way to set items in an expandable list so that they don't have the expandable list icon? Should I use something other than a string array?What is the best way to do this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm attempting to create a list view in Android that shows clickable items that wrap horizontally much like the "To" field in the OS X and iPhone's Mail programs. They have a horizontal list of names that wrap vertically and each name is a separate object, the list is not just a single string. My questions are: Is there a way to do this with a ListView or some other type of AdapterView? Everything I've seen and experimented with is either horizontal scrolling or vertically stacking, but not horizontal wrapping. Are you aware of an existing app with available source that has a view like this that I could look at as an example? The Google Mail/SMS apps just has a single string in the too field that isn't clickable.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI think the title says it all, don't you? It should be possible to create a new contact App by duplicating an existing one, either in GMail Contacts (in a full-fledged browser) or directly in the Contacts app on an Android device. This would allow, for example, adding new members of a family or new employees of a company. Then, just the new name, email or phone number (or whatever) could be entered to replace the duplicated ones and leave the remaining fields all the same. As a former Palm user, I was able to do this on that platform (primitive as it now seems by comparison to Android).
