I was just explaining why we designed things the way we did.

[android-developers] Re: intent-filter for addContact and editContact ?

[jaspher]

hello everyboday

thank you for your support and sorry for my slowly answer...
it works with a contentResolver and a ContentObserver (code).
do you mean that it isn't for the performance of the device not a good
idea to work with something like that?
thanks in advance



public class BackgroundService extends Service {

private Handler handler = new Handler();

@Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent arg0) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return null;
}

public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
super.onStart(intent, startId);

System.out.println("BACKGROUND SERVICE IS RUNNING");
ContactsContentObserver cco = new 
ContactsContentObserver(handler);

ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();

contentResolver.registerContentObserver(Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI,
true, cco);

}

private class ContactsContentObserver extends ContentObserver {

public ContactsContentObserver(Handler h) {
super(h);
}

public void onChange(boolean selfChange) {
System.out.println("SOMEBODAY CHANGED ANYTHING AT THE 
CONTACTS");
}
}

}

[android-developers] Re: intent-filter for addContact and editContact ?

[Dianne Hackborn]

Yes, this is the way to monitor for content provider changes.  Note that
this is deliberately not done as a broadcast, you can only receive these
while you are running by explicitly registering for them, because we didn't
want to get in the situation of launching 1 or more apps every time some
piece of data in a content provider changes.

[Bill Napier]

I would start looking here:

http://code.google.com/android/reference/android/content/ContentResolver.html#registerContentObserver(android.net.Uri,
boolean, android.database.ContentObserver)

with ContentObserver.registerContentObserver which sounds like it
should do what you want.  I haven't used the function yet, so you may
have to mess with it.  Please report back you results so others can
know the answer too.  Thanks!
