I'm trying to see how extra information can be attached to contacts entries. Looking at the SDK reference, I stumble upon the Contacts.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.Extens ions.html) and Contacts.People.Extensions (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/Contacts.People .Extensions.html) classes. Sadly I can't find any article about what theses classes are for and how to use them. My goal is to add a few extra fields to the contacts entries which do not fit in any of the current available field types (emails, im accounts, phone numbers, postal addresses). Is there a way to achieve this?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to create a simple Android application that has a ActivityList of information, when the application starts, I plan to start a Service that will be constantly calculating the data (it will be changing) and I want the ActivityList to be in sync with the data that the service is calculating for the life of the app. How can I set up my Activity to be listening to the Service? Is this the best way to approach this problem? For example, if you imagine a list of stock prices - the data would be being changed regularly and need to be in sync with the (in my case) Service that is calculating/fetching the data constantly.

I know it can be done as easy as exporting and importing but I am looking for a solution where I can always keep them in sync without doing anything. I used to have an iPhone and I still have a MacBook and so I've been using MobileMe to keep everything in sync. I am soon getting a Nexus One and I want to make sure my MacBook and N1 stay in sync as well. Any ideas?

I thought there was a way, maybe I had to add something to my computer where I could type highlight the name, address and phone number, right click up a menu and have it all added to my phone book.
1. What's ROM stand for and what is it?
2. I've got a new ROM update from T-Mobile but when I run the install it says "This will wipe all your information and data". What's all that about?
3. Might be my router but when I enable WiFi and try to connect to it, it connects for a minute or so then disappears and then will come up shortly after saying "WiFi networks available" but it won't connect to the router.
4. Is it worth messing about with custom ROMs?
5. There's a battery issue, sometimes it will last ages and sometimes it won't last very long at all. I've heard Android keeps programs running after you've shut them down, so how do I close them properly?
My facebook has stopped working - the apps won't update with new information, and trying to access the main site through the browser brings up the 'bad ip - your ip address is linked to abusive behaviour blah blah ' facebook form. I've filled this in and am waiting to hear back, but was wondering if this could be due to the settings on my phone? it was working fine for the last month, so no idea what could have changed...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am a Mac user (photographer/ videographer). I also rely heavily on my iPod Touch when mobile (i can often find a wifi signal when i am out and about). I use iCal on the Touch and iCal on my Mac as well as the address book on both everyday and as a Mobile Me user, my two devices sync so everything is mirrored and up to date. I also HATE AT&T for their terrible signal strength and coverage and have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years and this is why I don't have an iPhone. Okay, all that being said, is there an easy way to still use everything I love and rely on with my Mac (the calender and address book, mainly) and easily sync all of my existing information and future info to an Android based device? How easy is it to use an Android device with a Mac? I don't want to have to manually re-enter my entire address book into a new device.
View 8 Replies View RelatedIn my application when a user clicks on a button I want to open the contacts application and display a particular contacts information. At the minute I have this:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, People.CONTENT_URI);
startActivity(intent);
This displays the contact application with all the contacts displayed. But how do I get it to display just one contact according to the contacts name or number?
This Code works: (answer)
Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, 23);
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
startActivity(intent);

I have an application that updates all the contacts belonging to a group, I currently do the following : -> Get the group id -> Get all the contacts id inside this group -> For each of them I am doing an update on the contact => This is really heavy and seems to take time in real phones while I expect it to be "instantaneous". I am wondering if we can, in the ContentResolver.update() method specify a kind of join. For instance I'd like to do something like : UPDATE <people> SET <people.name>="<new name>" FROM People p, Groups Memberships gm WHERE p.person_id=gm.person_id and gm.group_id=<my_group_id> Does anyone know if it's possible or not? The update method has got a "where" attribute but can we use this attribute for complexe requests?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm developping an application in Android 1.6 (and can't use 2.0 or older).
I add a new contact on my phone as following code...
After that, I add phone numbers in the same way. It works as I am able to view the new added contact with following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
this.startActivity(intent);
My problem is that, after adding and viewing the new contact, I can't see it in Contacts application unless I synchronized all my contacts (I also did a search with the contact's name, found it, nevertheless it wasn't added in contacts list).
How can I programmatically update the contacts in order to immediately have my new contact added in Contacts application?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm going to keep this as simple as possible......
I presume after the update I'll have to set everything back up (email accounts, ringtones, volumes, notifications, scenes)? I can copy my music and pictures onto my PC and I don't care about SMS.
I'll have to re-install apps and set them all back up too.
All I care about are my contacts really. I don't want to use HTC sync as that wants to copy them to Outlook and I keep my work contacts in outlook (not my personal ones). I don't use my google account for anything other than the market so I don't really want to sync with google.
Can I just copy them all to the SIM card? Will I lose pics and facebook links?
I followed all of the instructions and backed up my contacts using the downloaded most recent update service. Now i have updated my phone to android 2.1 and i try to recover my contacts. in the update screen it went to 97% and then an error. But realistically it has only imported say 30% of my contacts, and the contacts it has recovered it has duplicated so there are 2 entries for every piece of information. Can someone from SE please inform me whether they are working on a fix that we can download that will rectify this issue or do i need to manually source all of my contact information all over again. If so is there any way of loading the backup information on the computer?
