I'm having trouble loading a photo for a contact in Android. I've googled for an answer, but so far have come up empty. Does anyone have an example of querying for a Contact, then loading the Photo? So, given a contactUri which comes from an Activity result called using startActivityForResult(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,ContactsCont...

I would like to insert a new raw contact. I'm sure this involve some sort of getContentProvider().insert using a ContactsContract uri of some sort. Can anyone show an example using a ContentValues to to insert a brand new contact? (Update) There is an excellent example in the SDK http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ContactMa...
Hi all, I'm using the following piece of codes to create a new contact. It follow closely the ContactManager example provided by Android.

I have the following piece of code in my Android application that looks up a contacts ID, I have just changed the target from 1.5 to 2.2 but with a min SDK of 3 (1.5) so that I can use the ContactsContract Uri in 2.2 and the People Uri in 1.5. However the code leads to the following error when run on 1.5 devices: 07-27 15:02:53.382: WA...
I'm able to add a Contact with ContactsContract to one of the user's accounts (a difficult feat in itself!), but I still haven't been able to add it to a group that will show up. I know that the user can go to their contact options and check a "Show All (Other) Contacts" box in their account, but not only is this is an extra step for the...

Can anyone point me in a better direction or show an ...

I know they are stored separately from disp...
I've read related several questions here and can't find the answer to this: I have an Android 2.1 device (HTC Incredible). My app, however, must be compatible with early (pre SDK 5) devices, so I am using the deprecated format of filter URI: Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number)); C...
Hi guys, I am trying to write a method that determines if a contact has at least one phone number, at the moment I have this: public boolean hasPhone() { Cursor phones = this.map.getContentResolver().query( ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.Contacts._ID + "=" + this.contactId, null, null ); bool...
If you want to obtain contacts data from two separate URIs, can you do this in a single query? For example : ContentResolver cr; Cursor emailCur = cr.query( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null); Should return all available columns ag...

When adding a contact in the new android contacts API, can I use newAssertQuery() also for insert, or will it only update an existing entry. If so, what is the difference between newAssertQuery() and newUpdate()? More generally, do I need to check whether a raw contact or data exist first and then either insert or update, or is there a ...
Hi stackies, I'm having Facebook for Android on my phone which automatically synces the FB profile pictures of the people in my contact list to my phone.

If you try the Contact Manager that comes with Android 2.2 Froyo it will give you access to all contacts in the sqlite database via Contact ContentProvider. But if you write an app that is not com.android.contacts you only get access to the restricted table because of this code here: http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#cbQwy62oRI...
I've been using the ContactsContract api for some time now and I've come across two "columns" listed in the API page for ContactsContract.Contacts that do not appear to actually be assessable. The values are (under the columns heading): "NAME_RAW_CONTACT_ID" and "DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY" By my reading of the API these two values would see...

Here http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html it only explains the old API. I haven't found any proper tutorial, example, etc. showing how to create a contact. As far as I have figured out I have to create a raw...
