Hi All, Just like to share some thoughts and ask if anyone knows how to modify the stock Contacts detail screen.
I'm not 100% convinced I will adopt this strategy yet but I need to allow the user of my application to maintain contact information, with extra fields specific to my app' so I figured my choices are either to A: create my own contacts database, B: Create my own database that just contains extra fields with a link id to a contact in the factory contacts system so they can use both systems. C: Solely utilise the default contact system but add extra fields to an extra contacts table using the V2 API. I thinking the best solution would be C, as it's already a good contact manager with plenty of features that I'd also need in my app prewritten, call number, directions to address. As well as users dont have to synch or re-enter contacts if they want to use their stock contacts system One thing of interest I've noticed is the FaceBook app that comes pre- installed on the nexus one. When I view a contacts details, there is a Facebook section of information, so if possible, I could add my own section for my app like the facebook app has done that could be a good merge of systems. However I've no idea how they do that and show the facebook panel.. Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated, love to hear how others have faced similar dilemmas.
