Set PreferenceScreen type as "Select Contact"

Question

I have a PreferenceActivity with a few EditText and CheckBox Preferences. I would like to add a preference of Contact so that when the button was pressed it would allow the selction of a Contact's number

Is that possible using the PreferenceActivity functionality?

TIA

AFAIK I know there is no direct Preference object to do this. But you can create your own, if you extend DialogPreference or Preference

Probably you have to just fire a contact picker, and listen for the results.

I would be too interested, so I would love to see the code shared.
