Happy Halloween All ! The party is over and Google suddenly released the much anticipated Android 2.0 SDK.
Much improvement for sure ! That said, the party is over and I came to have to deal with the following Ghost; I've released an app in the market (Ambu) - so far qualified under SDK 1.5 &1.6. Using the emulator for Android 2.0, things don't work anymore. This is what I'd like to share; - my app invokes an ACTION.PICK intent as way to extract phone contact from the phone book and populate a database. When compiling my app using the SDK version 1.6 and a target emulator configured at 1.6 level, the following code WORKS: Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, People.CONTENT_URI); startActivityForResult(pickcontact, CALL_CONTACTPICKED); When running the same code (compiled with SDK 1.6) and a target emulator at 2.0 level, the above code never return the entries I have populated in my the phone book. It's as if the phonebook was always empty. A couple of additional observations; - When running the emulator in 2.0 mode, the default local input type is Japaneese. Any way to change this ? - Under the 2.0 emulator, and setting a "clean" AVD image, if you launch the dial button, press menu and select account, you'll probably immediatly get a "android.process.acore" error ... - In the most recent SDK document, I can read that "People.CONTENT_URI" was deprecated after SDK 1.6. Therefore, I've changed the above code to: Intent pickcontact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, AUTHORITY_URI); StartActivityForResult(pickcontact, CALL_CONTACTPICKED); Unfortunatly, with the above, I get a crash right away when invoking ACTION_PICK. Question to the Google Folks (dear dianne and others, please !); How to we properly pick a phonebook contact under the 2.0 OS using 1.6 or 2.0 compiled apps ?
