I've implemented a SyncAdapter correctly registered through the application manifest which allows to sync contacts with our backend. The sync requests are correctly sent to the SyncAdapter but actually I have a couple of dubts:
1) How a client (the object which calls requestSync of a specific authority) can be notified about the current status of the sync request, e.g. if the request has been correctly performed, is still pending, or is aborted for any reason?
2) I saw the addStatusChangeListener method in ContentResolver class but there is no documentation about that. Can someone clarify the correct usage of this? What kind of events can I listen?
3) What is the SyncContext ??
Onother issue is that after I've added my custom account to the device I saw that when the user selects to add a contact to that account, only the name fields are present in the "new contact" activity, no phones emails etc. Can someone tell me if (and how) it is possible to show all the standard fields that are actually showed to the user, even if no accounts exist on the device?
When I try to edit contacts I get message - "Unable to edit SNS contacts on phone". How do I edit these contacts?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to use AccountManager to store account information and have implemented an authenticator, but I keep getting exceptions like the below that crash the phone. Comparing with sample code this seems to be because I don't have (or particularly want) a SyncAdapter and associated service. Is there a trick to using AccountManager without adding a SyncAdapter?
CODE:.................
What we are doing currently? We have some structured, textual data on a server which is exposed using web services(RESTful). My application polls this server regularly(AlarmManagerService) to fetch the data and save it on local database(sqlite). Also, a user is authenticated and authorized beforehand for access.
Questions: There is a SyncAdapter/AccountManager class in the SDK and I was wondering if it can be of any use in my application to achieve the syncing mentioned above? If yes, what sort of infrastructure is needed at back end to support a sync set up using this adapter? Links to articles etc. that give details of using this adapter and other info is appreciated.
Is there a program that will let me edit my contacts. I imported a bunch of contacts from an old phone, and they look like crap..like missing letters, some numbers added to the names ..It would be ALOT easier to edit on a PC..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create an App that has a similar layout as the view you get when you edit a contact. The main functionality I need is the ability to click a "+" or "-" button in the row and add/remove another row where the user can input another line of data. I have looked into the expandable lists but I am not sure if this is what I should be using or if it is just a list with a custom adapter.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have written a SyncAdapter that takes a "com.google" account and performs a sync with an appengine web service. Testing this with the dev tools sync tester (on the emulator), this sync appears to work just fine.
The problem is, it's not syncing by default. And going to the account in "accounts & sync" shows my google account to be blank - as if there's no sync services available.
I suspect that in order to get my sync shown in the "accounts & sync" menu, I'd need to implement my own AccountAuthenticator that would do exactly the same thing as what I presume google's AccountAuthenticator must already do. This is not an exciting job, and it seems very unnecessary. So:
Is there a way to add an entry to the "accounts & sync" menu that uses my SyncAdapter but relies on a google account? or to add a sub-menu to google accounts that enables sync of my appengine service? if not,is there a way I can re-use google's AccountAuthenticator from within an AccountAuthenticator I write?
I got a HTC Incredible S and want to edit my android contacts on my computer.I thought there would be an app with a web interface or something similar I could edit my contacts on my computer.
I have HTC Sync, but don't want to use Outlook to edit/add contacts.
I am writing a syncadapter using google account and app engine. The account appears in account and sync, but when I try to select the account for syncing, I am getting a hard database error. I am trying to figure if this error is on mobile or the app engine. Further, what can be causing this error. Another error that I am getting is failed to find provider info.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if a custom sync adapter would be appropriate when syncing "normal" application data that is tied to a Google account. For example, I'd like to sync some data to a Google docs spreadsheet in this case. Would a sync adapter be the right choice for this use case or should I handle the sync in the app?

Anybody else notice that the SD cards are write protected? If I take out my card and put it in a card reader on my laptop, I can add stuff to the card, but I can't delete anything. If I put it back in the phone and mount the sd card, I can edit the card how I want. weird?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there anyway to re-establish or manually add the Facebook syncronization option to an existing contact in my Contacts app? I lost the Facebook sync icon in the contact information and this is inconvienent at best, and possibly is the cause of disabling the phone functionality at worse. Subsequent behavior on at least two occassions has shown that attempts to dial out using this particular contact locks up the dialer, causing multiple forces closes, and essentially disables the phone functionally both in and out of the phone for long periods time (10-20 mins) until the application can be correctly cleared and purged from memory.
I was able to successfully sync my Contacts with both my Google contact list and then all my Facebook friends. However some of the contact information was not exactly how I preferred and attempts to update that information using the Google contact list was not always successful. Not entirely sure if this is a bug or by design. I was able to successfully modify one contacts name with Facebook sync from first name first to last name first (to correct sorting to my preference). A second contact wouldn't modify no matter if I updated the name information on Google contact or on the phone itself. Finally I attempted to delete the contact and re-add it. This worked but now I lost its Facebook sync (no Facebook icon to click within the contact information). I'm not sure if this detachment is causing the dialer problems.
After syncing all my Facebook friends with my contacts (for complete-ism), I successfully deleted some Facebook friends from my contact list. But what if I want one back with Facebook sync, is that possible?
I have them filtered on the Handset so that only those marked as Friends or Family under Gmail contacts are shown. I can't help this as otherwise I'd have well over 1000 contacts to scroll through on my phone.
My issue is that should I add a contact on my phone it doesn't appear. This is obviously because when it's created it has no group membership. It still resolves against SMS etc but is not displayed in the Contacts list. I can (when near a computer) quickly jump onto gmail, manage contacts and put the person into the right group but ideally I'd like to be able to do this on the handset.
Is there any way at all of editing Google Contact Group membership on the handset? I certainly can't find the option if it exists. Alternatively is it possible to change it so when the contact is create on the handset that it automatically saves as a 'Friend'.
When creating a custom account and/or sync adapter, raw_contacts that belong to your custom account can be created. But it looks like that they then cannot be edited with the Contact app! Is this a known limitation, or a problem in my code?

So somehow I added my parents to my ICE contacts, and every time I call them, my phone goes into emergency mode. I remember adding them via something like ##setup, but when I go there, I don't see them under ICE contacts. I'm tired of having to exit emergency mode.

View 12 Replies View RelatedMost of my contacts were moved over when I made the switch to Droid. One thing I've found is that when I try to add a new contact it does so as a google contact where as my existing contacts that were synced over show up as Phone-only contact. There obviously is a difference when adding/editing contacts but I can't figure out how to choose between the two types.

View 4 Replies View RelatedDoesn't seem to be a way to enter Date fields (birthday, anniv etc..) when creating or editing a Contact? Is this true?

Surprised Dates can only be entered & maintained on the desktop.
