Contacts not showing all contacts

[anaylor01]

Is the problem fixed where all contacts are readable? I saw that there was a problem with contacts not added by google not being able to read their info. I tried an example and it seemed to be the case. Does anyone know?

Hallo,
i dont understand exactly your problem, but i attached my way to read all contacts. Feel free to try this. Should work from Android 2 and higher. Suggestions welcome.

Sub LogAllContacts

  'to use this example
  '1. copy the attached jar and xml Files in your Library folder 
  '2. activate lib as usual.

  Dim mu As miscUtil
  mu.Initialize
  Dim contacts As Map
  Dim i As Int
  contacts = mu.GetContactMap
  For i = 0 To contacts.Size-1
    Log(contacts.GetValueAt(i))
  Next

End Sub

I just tried your solution and it does NOT list all contacts from contacts. I am using an Motorola Atrix.

it does NOT list all contacts from contacts.

Thank you very much. This is an valuable information for me, because i use this approach in my own application to. I will have an eye on it.

Optimist,

Would you mind to share that piece of code of the lib as source code?
I want to help you with this make it better than teh orginal one.

My understanding is that you can only access contacts that have been 'starred'

this code is straight forward, nothing surprising
noteworthy that managedQuery(person, person_projection, null, null, null) does NOT contain any kind of filter

public class miscUtil  {

    private BA m_ba;

   /**
   * Common initialisations
   */   
    public void Initialize(BA ba) {
      m_ba = ba;
    }
    

        /**
   * Erzeut eine Map mit allen vorhandenen Kontakten
   * Key ist eine ID, mit der weitere Kontaktinfos abgefragt werden können 
   */
   public Map GetContactMap() {
      Map personen = new Map();
      personen.Initialize();
   
      Uri person = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
      String[] person_projection = new String[] {
            ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
      };
      Cursor person_cur = m_ba.activity.managedQuery(person, person_projection, null, null, null);

      person_cur.moveToFirst();
      while (person_cur.isAfterLast() == false) {
         personen.Put(person_cur.getString(0), person_cur.getString(1));
         person_cur.moveToNext();
      }
      person_cur.close();
      return personen;
   }
}

Thnx a lot!

hmm, i dont get it to work. I get everytime a nullpointer.
Using the Api 10 , android 2.3.3 Android.jar

 

[optimist]

I get everytime a nullpointer.

In which line, pointer to which object is null?

I guess you dont call it from an activity or you forgot to call Initialize.
Then the BA would be null.

Another guess is, that you forgot the attributation of the class.
It should be something like
@ShortName("miscUtil") // this is the name as it appear on the IDE
@Permissions(values = {"android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS", "android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"})
@Author("Michael Peter") // your name
@Version(1.04f) // the version
@ActivityObject

There are two helpfull sticky threads in Libraries developers questions - Android Development Forum - Basic4android

Hi Optimist,

I changed some code to get also the phonenumbers in a LIST! This make it compatible with B4A.
Im not a real JAVA programmer, but more C & Delphi. So it was a course for me to do something in JAVA.
But i like it. I want to expand the contacts Lib more to make it Cross-Compatible between 1.6 and 2.0

Thnx Optimist!
