View 2 RepliesIs there a way to get the data: address, postalcode, country ect. in different country formats.
Like in Great Britain:[recipient][street name][postal town (town/city)][postal code[country name]
And in The Netherlands: [recipient] [street name] [postal code] [postal town (town/city)] [country name]
I now use the ContactsContract from Android 2.0.1 and tried the ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.DATA1 (FORMATTED_ADDRESS). But this seems to give the data as follows (no matter what country settings): [street name] [postal town (town/city)] [postal code].
I am using ContactsContract api intent for showing all contacts from an activity. This intent returns an id of the contact. I need to get the postal address of this contact.
Here is the code which i am using for showing contacts:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
I am getting the result in the onActivityResult function..
Sorry for the really dumb question but is there any way to view a contacts postal address without editing that contact? (I mean view the actual address so you can write it down onto an envelope not view it's location on a map).
Using sim free HTC Legend (not rooted or anything).
I am using following code to get addressbook name phone android phone. code...
now my requirement is to pick email if exists from the phone book can any one guide me how to achieve this?
Does anybody have any sample code to access/get the postal addressed of a contact using Contact API? I searched the sdk doc but did not find enough info to do this.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI like to add addresses to my phone book in Android. As a lot of my contacts live in buildings i also like to add the floor and apartment number to the address: Looking like that:
Street and Number, Floor and Department number
Town, zip code
State
Country
Example;
Av. Whatever 12345, Floor 5-A
Buenos Aires 1007
Argentina
When clicking on the address the GPS of my wish opens , finds the country, city but not the street because of the additional Floor and department information. Without this additional information everything well with Google Maps or Sygic.
So, how should i add this additional Floor and department information to my address without the GPS has problems to find the main location.Also from ICS on there is only one filed to add the whole address not as with Gingerbread where you had a field for street, city, etc.
Just getting used to my HTC Desire, after reading your forum I was comforted regarding battery life and it seems much better now than the first few days.
I see another post on this but no answer, the address book only gives one line of the address is then any way round this? Even my first pda a Psion 3 had the option of which fields to display etc. there seems very little option to format what is seen, not that I am unhappy about the rest but to have to edit to see all the address is barmy.
Another thing way back then that still is not found is search all fields of the contacts, i.e. to find a number of someone that rang on another phone.
The Gmail address book on the Web contains a field for birthdays, so why not the Android address book? While I'm sure the app could undergo a lot of changes (and everyone would have different ideas) something as basic as a birthday seems obvious.

But i use to have one name with 2 number such as "mobile + home" but it only transfered one across, so i want to edit the contacts, but it's really slow so is there a way i can link my computer to edit my phone books like the nokia pc suit. because I've downloaded a pc ompanion which does nothing except updating and transferring files.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to read and write contacts on the SIM phonebook. First I tried writing a contact with GetContentResolver.insert(), passing RawContacts.CONTENT_URI as URI and ensuring the column RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME had the value "SIM", and adding 2 lines (1 for4 name and 1 for phone) to Data.CONTENT_URI, linked by contact ID. This seemed to work: the contacts showed in the contact list with the SIM logo next to them, but they wouldn't survive a reboot... apparently that's just a placeholder in memory, which is synced with the real SIM at startup and at every change.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to use my X10 to keep all of my contacts' postal addresses in instead of the tatty old address book I carry in my handbag(!) I didn't fancy typing them all into the phone, so thought I would use the Sony Ericsson sync and put them into the pc first via the PC Companion sync application, and set up the sync to transfer them into my phone. I have tried a test run adding only a couple of addresses to my contacts on the pc, and adding one to my phone, but when I do a sync, the addresses don't transfer either way. I know that the actual sync is working because I added photos too and they transfer....... I must be doing something wrong that is easily rectified?

(Even with the computer it's a lot of work to put it on my G-mail calender)Are there any Apps that could assist in this?

View 20 Replies View RelatedI have a problem in querying phonebook contacts. What I need to do is get a list of contacts that have both phone and email entered or are of a specific type.
Basically like this:
CODE:...............
Now, the problem is, that RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE does not exist in the ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, which I use with my query. I'm guessing I'd need to join another table, but have no idea how to do so.
The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.
Much improvement for sure !
That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost;
I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore.
This is what I'd like to share;
- my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database.
When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS:
CODE:.........
When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty.
A couple of additional observations;
- When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ?
- Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ...
- In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to:
CODE:.........
Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK.
Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !);
How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?
I just got the Sony Xplod MEX-BT5700U head unit installed in my car.
It works great! Sound is awesome, and it connects both BT Audio and BT phone.
Here's the problem I'm having... In trying to copy the phonebook to the head unit.
When I start the transfer, nothing happens. No notification on the droid, or anything at all.
While further troubleshooting, I took a look at the Bluetooth Status screen. It shows XPLOD: Connected Audio & Phone.
When I start the PB transfer (from the Xplod) -- It shows:
XPLOD: Paired, but not connected.
I try to reconnect them, but until I exit the PB Transfer screen on the Xplod, it just won't connect.

I am writing an app that requires to get the current map location. My Map file works fine by it self, but I need to get the address (see addressString below at the buttom) from another Activity. I tried getAddress/setAddress (setters/getters). They do not work. They always return 'no address' (the default).
View 1 Replies View RelatedToday is quite a big day to me. After all the work, studies and sleepless nights that I've been through, I've decided to share all that with the community opening the source of Phonebook Sharing. We have been chosen by the Android powered users as well as by Google as one of the ADC's Top 20 Social Networking applications. This application explores and makes use of many many features available by the platform (Android 1.5 / 1.6) as well as custom components/features that the platform does not provide yet, such as ListView pagination. Not just the Android client but also the J2EE server, I've made available quite a few interessting things such as Video Streaming and EJB3 stuff. I've also built a fake server that responds to all the request events made by the android client therefore you will be able to run client/ server and see how the communication goes. I'm still wrapping up the project building some documentation on our Wiki section.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to develop an application on Android 2.1 emulator, My application connects in background to a remote server through an HTTPConnection with REST Protocol, and gets updates in JSON format. A Digest parses these JSONObject and then fills its local Databases with the new datas. The Server can also send to the mobile application a list of new contacts to add in the system PhoneBook. Here's my question: how can I make a new contact from a bunch of datas and insert it in the system PhoneBook in Android 2.1, without any interaction with the user? Moreover, how can I get these datas back when I need it? I have tried to do it like the ContactAdder in the ContactManager sample(http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ContactManager/ index.html) does, but it works only if I specify an account for the sync function, and I don't need this feature in my application, so I don't have any account to select! Is there a way to do the same things the ContactAdder does without specifying an account (something like creating "Phone-only (unsynced) contacts")?
