contactscontract

I am trying to get a contacts name and phone number after a user has picked a contact from the Contact Picker. I am attempting to make my application work for SDK v3 and up so I created an abstract class that would call only the API that I needed. I already have the abstract class working (it chooses the right API) and I also have the API for SDK v3,4 working. I am having problems getting the newer API that uses ContactsContract to work. I can get a contacts name, but the number it retrieves is always the number for the contact ID BEFORE it! Example: I have 2 contacts "John Doe" and "Jane Doe"

I am able to get a generic notification "that there was a change to the contacts DB", but I want to know the specific record that was inserted, updated, or deleted. Following is the code that gets registered and gets the onChange notification. Unfortunately, it is not specific which makes my processing exhaustive and inefficient. Here is the code stub: if ((mNativeContactsObserver == null) && (mHandler == null)) { mHandler = new Handler(this.getMainLooper()) { }; mNativeContactsObserver = new ContentObserver(mHandler) { @Override public void onChange(boolean selfChange) { super.onChange

I would like to read contacts from ContactsContract API which belongs only to Phone / SIM and would like to avoid contacts synced from other apps like facebook and gmail. I tested my code on simulator and it works fine but on real devices it doesn't returns any result. ContentResolver cr = AndroidContext.getContext() .getContentResolver(); Cursor nativeContacts = cr.query(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { RawContacts._ID, RawContacts.VERSION, RawContacts.CONTACT_ID }, RawContacts.DELETED + "<> 1 AND " + RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + " IS NOT NULL AND " + RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME + " IS NULL

I'm using the following piece of codes to create a new contact. It follow closely the ContactManager example provided by Android. The problem is, the created contacts do not appear in the Contacts app that shipped with Android. Nevertheless, when I load all the contacts from the phonebook, I can see the newly created contacts. private void insertPBEntry() throws RemoteException, OperationApplicationException { ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI) .withValue

I'm trying to insert and update a piece of information on an existing contact so I've created a sample application in order to develop the functionality. All I want my sample app to do is to insert (or if present) update an email address on a contact. I'm selecting a contact through the system Intent like so: startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI), PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST); The URI which is returned is that of the Contact ( RawContact ?) which was selected and comes in this form: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/lookup/0r2-2A90214945/2 . I can pull back

I'm trying to obtain a list of contacts from the native database with their Display Name and Phone Number (any or all). There are many methods for obtaining this information with several queries to the phone's database, but this introduces considerable overhead. Here is the query I've been working on, but it results in Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI; String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER}; String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = '1'";
