You can read contacts with a Contacts object. Currently it is read-only. So adding new contacts is not possible.

I want to support this wish.
Writable access to contacts would be interesting.

TIA
Michael

Thanks to optimist, but...

How to start the custom intent (with pre-selected "putExtras" fields) for adding a contact ?

Noting, for example

B4X:

Intent addContactIntent = new Intent(Contacts.Intents.Insert.ACTION, Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI);
addContactIntent.putExtra(Contacts.Intents.Insert.NAME, "Jean-Claude"); // an example, there is other data available
startActivity(addContactIntent)

This try does not work :-

B4X:

Dim i As Intent
i.Initialize("android.intent.action.INSERT", "vnd.android.cursor.dir/contact_extensions")
StartActivity(i)

and gives "No activity found to handle intent"
