I wanna launch the Contacts application from my application Activity. I am not able to understand how to do it.
Button contact = (Button) findViewById(R.id.contact);
contact.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View arg0) {
Intent i4 = new Intent();
i4.setAction(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i4.addCategory(Intent.CATEGORY_DEFAULT);
i4.setType("vnd.android.cursor.dir/phone");
startActivity(i4);
}
});
Error:
void showContacts()
{
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.contacts", "com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity"));
i.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");
i.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
i.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
startActivity(i);
}
This should work in everything from Donut through to Gingerbread: not sure about Honeycomb.
You can launch a contact Picker:
public void doLaunchContactPicker(View view) {
Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT);
}
Or you can also launch the app:
