View 5 Replies View RelatedIs is possible to create a shortcut to or even a folder that contains only one "group" from contacts? For example a shortcut to "family" or "co-workers". Or a folder with only your "friends" group? The add to home shortcut screen does not offer this option.

View 23 Replies View RelatedI have a group on gmail called coworkers. I added many of the employees in my company as contacts. I am now running Launcher Pro as well for what that is worth. I found the option to check coworkers as a group, but I can't figure out how to associate or move the employee contacts under that group. What am I missing? Or am I going about this the wrong way entirely?

Handcent is the only application I have that seems to be able to send a single message to one of my google groups. Anyone have an idea on how I can send an email to a group via google?

Also would like to know how to forward to a group. Dont want to use my gmail account either, want to use my regular Yahoo mail account. Is there an app that will do this for me? I have searched the forum & cant find an answer.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to define some Contact Groups. I am wondering where and how does Android store the groups. Maybe in a Sqlite database? If so, will be able to run a insert on it? Otherwise how do you add new Contacts Group via the emulator?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developing a big application and a part of it is about contacts. I want to, first, get all the groups of contacts. And when the users selects one, show all the contacts of the group.
I've seen other applications and widgets (like LauncherPro widget or HTC Sense Widget) than can do it, but when I try, I don't get same results.
My code is:
1.- To get an example group (this is just for testing, in real application user selects):
Code:
long idGroup = 0;
String[] GROUP_PROJECTION = new String[] {
ContactsContract.Groups._ID, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE };
Cursor c = mcp.getContext().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Groups.CONTENT_URI, GROUP_PROJECTION, null, null, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE + " ASC");
[Code]...
2.- To filter Users by group??
when I'm at the phone screen and hit menu/people/groups icon(multiple cards) you have the option to "add group" at the top or hit menu again and 2 options appear: Add Group or Delete Group. Either of these options are not functional. They don't work. It seems that HTC forgot to add functionality for this. Does anyone have a solution for this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedOk somehow all my contacts are in the favorites (Group) and with that they are all on my favorites screen which i do not need, I rather have other widgets there then ALL my contacts. So my question is...Can i somehow change all of my contacts to another group to free up that screen?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm adding a new contact using the 2.0 Contacts Contract APIs and I was just wondering if this is a safe way to get the "My Contacts" group to set the group membership for my new contact. Or is there a better more standard way to get it? I'm using the literal string "System Group: My Contacts" when I query the Groups table to get the source row for the My Contacts group. I found this constant by poking around in the debugger, but It's not documented anywhere that I could find, so I don't know if it's the right thing to use. Is there an actual constant somewhere that I should be using to find the "My Contacts" group? Code...

I can't seem to find a contentprovider that ties these two together.There has to be a standard answer to this question?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a HTC Desire Android phone and I'm looking for a way to keep a simple, basic contact list updated and synched with my Gmail account. The problem with the default way on my phone is that it will sync every contact on my Gmail. This is a problem as I only want to have contacts from my phone book synched to one gmail group and vice versa. There is an option to "disply only contacts with numbers" but I still don't like the idea of having every contact on the phone. There is also the problem of the extra empty groups I won't be using, can these be gotten rid of?
I basically just want one list and it to be my default list with all contacts and not have to go through an array of menus to get to that one list on the phone. I don't want that list to be populated by contacts who I may have only emailed once and will never email again. I don't want any gimmicks in between, no gtalk contacts, no facebook contacts, no default gmail contacts and I want to be able to then export this group to a CSV file to use with spreadsheets etc.
This seems to be possible on Android stock and even on HTC Hero Sense UI according to here: Tidy up your Contact List with a Custom Sync Group | Androidheadlines.com
but in the Desire Sense UI, when you go to people/groups/menu, it only gives the option to delete or add. Seems this guy is having the same issue, he has the sync group option but his friend doesn't, both using the same phone. No "Sync Groups" option
There are reports from this thread that some users have had this same problem. Some have a "Sync Groups" option when they go to People>Group Tab and click menu, most don't have this option however and I'm yet to hear from a desire user with this option. Also from this thread (Just want to sync 'My Contacts' on Android, not everything! - Google Mobile Help) one user reported that a "hard reset" gave him the "Sync Group" option. I tried this but had no luck, still the same menu as before.
Alright so I REALLY need to create a group contact folder. You see I have to manage about 10 guys and its convenient that they all have cellphones whats NOT convenient is I can't find a way to put them into a group and text them with one group message! I need to make sure these guys show up to where they are needed and texting all 10 of them separately is a pain in the rear end. So far the other threads don't seam of any use.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using ACTION_PICK to show a contact picker:startActivityForResult( new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Uri.parse("content://contacts/people") ) ,RESULT_PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST); I'd really like to be showing only contacts from the My Contacts group, rather than the list which includes all the auto-generated contacts. I had hoped to find an Extra to specify the group, but I can't find any sign of one. Is there any way to pick a contact from a specified group, or do I need to write my own picker?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow to forward a message using the native gmail app on android to a group of contacts already established on gmail? I often need to forward an email to a group of employees but have found no way to do it other than logging on to gmail on the computer which isn't very efficient. It seems hard to believe - any third party app that works with gmail to do so?
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I first set up my phone, I synced my Google contacts (from 2 accounts). I have since cleaned up my contacts, no longer syncing the Google contacts ... I only have my phone contacts. After cleaning things up, I still have 2 empty "Google" contact groups.My question: Is it possible to remove a contact group? I haven't found a way to do it and I have had no luck searching here or on the rest of the internet. I just want to clear up the clutter. I think it's silly to have 2 empty contact groups.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have two accounts, exchange and gmail.All the contacts I care about are in gmail.I also set up my exchange to sync contacts.900 of my contacts are now in the 'corporate' group in contacts on my Galaxy.This means changing those doesn't sync to google.com/contacts and vice versa
question 1: Any way to move all those contacts over to gmail group so they sync?
question 2: Any ideas how this happened?
I text my kids with the same message sometimes. Is there a way of creating a group with the 5 of them and a saved message?
