I've come up with a work around for use on the HTC HERO, for getting
the URI for a newly created contact after the ACTION_INSERT intent
returns.
Basically I just do a query on the Contacts.People table and return a
URI with the newest id if the intent result returns RESULT_OK.
code:
//----------------
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode,
Intent data) {
if (requestCode == CREATE_CONTACT_REQUEST) {
if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
Uri newUri = null;
if (data != null) {
newUri = data.getData();
} else {
// a new contact was created but the Contacts
app
// implementation didn't return us a uri
// This happens on HTC_HERO and maybe some
other devices.
// As a work around let's set the newUri to the
uri of the
// most recently added contact
// returned from a query of the contacts.
(returns uri with
// most recent contact _ID)
newUri = getNewestContactUri();
}
if (newUri != null) {
// do something with the new Uri
}
}
}
}
public Uri getNewestContactUri() {
String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.People._ID };
String orderBy = Contacts.People._ID + " DESC";
Cursor cursor = curContext().getContentResolver().query(
Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null,
orderBy);
int idIdx = -1;
try {
idIdx = cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(Contacts.People._ID);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
idIdx = -1;
}
if (idIdx != -1) {
int id = -1;
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
id = cursor.getInt(idIdx);
}
if (id != -1) {
return Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI,
Integer.toString(id));
}
}
return null;
}
