android-contacts

I am looking to perform the following query (in pseudo-code) on Android: SELECT C.ID, C.NAME, CASE ISNULL(G.GROUPID,0) = 0 THEN 0 ELSE 1 END INGROUP FROM CONTACTS C LEFT JOIN GROUPMEMBERSHIP G ON G.CONTACTID = C.ID AND G.GROUPID = ? I am looking to select the ID and Name of ALL contacts in the system address book, via the default Contacts ContentProvider, along with a 0/1 field indicating whether the contact is a member of group ? . I could of course get all contacts easily enough, then loop through and query the membership separately easy enough in my Adapter class, but I'd imagine performing

I am trying to save all contacts telephone numbers in an ArrayList but I cant find a way how. Is there a way to get them instead of picking them one by one with ContactsContract? Santhosh ContentResolver cr = mContext.getContentResolver(); //Activity/Application android.content.Context Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); if(cursor.moveToFirst()) { ArrayList<String> alContacts = new ArrayList<String>(); do { String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID)); if(Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor

I develop an app which needs to do 2 things: Create a user account (like WhatsApp). Whenever there is a new contact entry, if the contact is using my app, then immediately in the Contacts application show options "call" or "message" in the contact detail page. Example You need to create a SyncAdapter , this is basically a service that is able to sync contacts to/from a server, like Google does for Google Contacts , you can set it to be notified when a new contact is added, and have your SyncAdapter add the needed info to the contact so it'll show links to your app. If you go to your phone

For one of my apps, I need the user to select one of his existing contacts or to create a new one. Picking one is clearly easy to do with the following code: i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(i, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST ); Now I want to create a new contact. I tried to use that code but it doesn't trigger the activity result: i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT); i.setType(Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE); startActivityForResult(i, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST); The above code will start the contact adding form. Then when I validate it, it just asks me to open the

Is there any standard broadcast intent that I can register a BroadcastReceiver for that gets triggered whenever a contact is added or changed? I've been looking through the docs for a while now but haven't found anything. Maybe it's hidden somewhere deep and one of you guys knows where. Here I go answering my own question (if anyone has a better answer, don't be shy). There's no broadcast when a contact is added/changed. However, when you look up your contacts in the RawContacts table you have a DIRTY column which is 1 if the contact was changed since the last sync, which is pretty much what I
