I don't know how to use this .vcf file to import all these contacts using code. The .vcf file contains all the details of all contacts including photos etc. Please try to use search engines to find what you need before asking. A Google search took 5 seconds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VCard It lists the applicable RFC files.

Afaik there is no standard way to insert contacts from a vcf file into the contacts provider. The entire package that deals with vCards, android.pim.vcard is hidden in the SDK and not available unless you're a big fan of abusing Java Reflection - in short, you should lift the parser from the android source tree and package it in your app. If you want to browse the code it uses for serializing and parsing vCards (both 2.1 and 3.0) it's available here. http://www.google.com/codesearch/p?hl=en#uX1GffpyOZk/core/java/android/pim/vcard/ On 26 Nov, 06:11, Prateek Jain mrprateekj...@gmail.com wrote: Hi All, I am able to retrieve all contacts from android in .vcf file using following code.

Thanks Jens for the reply. I am afraid why Android has kept the import contacts api hidden though to export contacts in vcf format is available. I think I have to go hard way by packaging android source code in the app until I find a better solution for this.
