I need to select contact numbers/emails from phone book in android.
I have seen selecting one contact and getting the result back in onActivityResult
from this link.
But I need multiple contacts to be selected from the phone book. How to achieve this?
I don't want to make my custom list, is there a way to use androids built in functionality?
I am sharing code for select multiple contact from Phone Book. you have change little bit and you can achieve your goal. thanks
getAllContacts(this.getContentResolver());
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv);
ma = new MyAdapter();
lv.setAdapter(ma);
lv.setOnItemClickListener(this);
lv.setItemsCanFocus(false);
lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
// adding
select = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
select.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
StringBuilder checkedcontacts = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < name1.size(); i++)
{
if (ma.mCheckStates.get(i) == true) {
checkedcontacts.append(name1.get(i).toString());
checkedcontacts.append("\n");
} else {
}
}
Toast.makeText(Display.this, checkedcontacts, 1000).show();
}
});
}
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
ma.toggle(arg2);
}
public void getAllContacts(ContentResolver cr) {
Cursor phones = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext()) {
String name = phones
.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String phoneNumber = phones
.getString(phones
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
name1.add(name);
phno1.add(phoneNumber);
}
phones.close();
}
