Hello Sire :) I'm new to Android too, but it sounds like the first option is certainly do-able. Just modify the current contacts app (assuming it's open source) and replace one of the current spinners (drop down menus) with the Favorite food item spinner you wish to add. Modify the contacts database to add a field for your fav food, link it to your spinner, and you're good to go.

New to Android, so I'm just trying to get a grasp of what's possible for an application and what's not. Let's say for example I wanted to add a 'Favorite Food Type' drop-down box to the contact view UI. This way when you add new contacts, or modify old ones, you can select a favorite food type for that individual, that the application I'm making would then use to display all individuals who like the food type you're currently craving. (Just an example application) And just to clarify, by the contact view UI, I mean the interface you see when you go to contacts and select an individual. In other words, the screen that lets you modify their contact information. Now, would it be possible for an application to insert this drop-down box into the default contact view UI? Or would the application need to show all contacts itself and force the user to do the food type selections in the application? The first options is preferable. If that isn't possible, there's also a third potential option where the application overrides the default contact view UI with it's own. Anybody know which of these is possible, and how to implement? (Although the in-application version need not explanation) Thanks! No virus found in this incoming message.
