Ok, i am able to start the Contacts application...and I pick a contact from
there. Now this operation succeeds too (-1 Result Code).
I use the following code:
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(i, PICK_CONTACT);
I get a callback in the onActivityResult method which provides me with the
data as an Intent as shown below:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
data)
{
super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
if(resultCode==RESULT_OK)
System.out.println("a contact was picked..");
Uri uri = data.getData();
System.out.println(uri);
}
I want to access the details of the contact that was picked (Display name,
phone numbers etc) .
I get a URI from the data received from the Contacts application. What does
this URI point to ? Will i need to execute a DB query to get the actual user
data for the contact ?
Kindly guide..
Help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Indodroid.
