contactscontract

I am using ContactsContract to insert a new contact by sending the user to a "New contact" intent. The code I am using is: Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT); i.setType(Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE); i.putExtra(Insert.NAME, "Some Contact Name"); i.putExtra(Insert.EMAIL, "address@email.com"); i.putExtra(Insert.PHONE, "123-456-7890"); startActivity(i); However, I need to also somehow pass in a locally stored photo (in res/drawable) to show up on this "New contact" intent. I was hoping that there would be an easy way to do this, like i.putExtra(Insert.PHOTO, uri_to_photo); but that obviously

I created a listview containing my contacts... tab_contact_list.xml , contains the listview: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical" > <ListView android:id="@+id/tab_contact_list" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_weight="1" /> </LinearLayout> listview_detail_tab_contact_list.xml , details rows of listview: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns

I am trying to create a rawcontact in android that has a specific contact id, so it is linked to other rawcontacts with the same contactid (not rawcontactid). The problem is I am unable to insert the Contact_ID into the ContentProviderOpertations. Using the following code return "Insert failed" ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); int id = (int) contactId; String condition = Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + "=?"; String[] parameters = { "" + id }; try { String accountName = account.name; String accountType = account.type; ops.add(ContentProviderOperation

I'm trying to use the ContactsContract api to add some notes to my contacts. I'm not sure I fully understand the various contact IDs and Raw Contact IDs. My problem seems pretty similar to what is discussed here . I want to : 1. Find a specific contact. 2. When found, insert specific notes I'm doing it in the following way: Cursor contacts = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null); while(contacts.moveToNext()){ Log.d("TC", "Found : " + name); int rid = contacts.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID); int rawContactID = contacts.getInt

My goal is to only display contacts with phone number to user and let user select few contacts which I want to store locally. I have used various options in place of ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI in below method. But I am getting lot many of the contacts (many are junk with only email ids) displayed. public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.contact_selector); ((Button)findViewById(R.id.btnphonecontactlist)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() { @Override public void onClick(View v) { // TODO Auto-generated method

The below query runs fine on my device (API 15). It does not work in my emulator running API 8 or API 10. Here is the query: Cursor contactsCur = getContentResolver().query( ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, new String[] { ContactsContract.Data._ID, ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID, ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Organization.COMPANY, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, ContactsContract.Data.LOOKUP_KEY, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract
