The problem with Contacts in mobile devices is that there are two types of Contacts. One is what I call Personal Contacts (family and friends) and the other is Virtual Contacts (social app friends/ multiplayer games). The Virtual Contacts don't go in the same place as Personal Contacts. So where do Virtual Contacts go?
Some apps will have Virtual Contacts in the browser (on the web) and others within the mobile app on the device. So speaking of those that are part of a mobile app on the device, where should virtual contacts go? If you put virtual and personal contacts together, separating virtual contacts with a column/field value, what happens when an app simply requests all contacts considering them all personal contacts? So I don't see how a group field would work. So I think one has to set up a totally new Content Provider for Virtual Contacts. Either from scratch for each application or unified and having that group field so new apps can just use the 'Virtual Contacts Content Provider'. So can we have that? A 'Virtual Contacts Content Provider'? - Juan T. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
