Hi,

So I was trying to build an app which allows users to access the phone book on users phone and add some info from there into the application. I have the following snippet of code which creates a "sub-activity" using the startActivityForResult(intent, int) and it successfully launches the phonebook. So I click on the particular contact and then this "sub-activity" returns control to my processing app without returning any information about the contact. It even  fails to print any statements in the console so I have no idea what is happening here. Can someone help me with the problem here? Appreciate the help.

1. import android.content.Intent;
2. import android.provider.ContactsContract;
3. import android.database.Cursor;
4. final static int ACTIVITY_CREATE = 1;
5. .....
   
6. Intent intentContact = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
7. startActivityForResult(intentContact, ACTIVITY_CREATE);
8. ......
   
9. @Override
10. protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent)
11. {
12.   super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);
13.   if(resultCode == RESULT_OK){
14.     switch(requestCode) {
15.       case ACTIVITY_CREATE:
16.       try{
17.         println("Hello");
18.         getContactInfo(intent);
19.       }catch(NullPointerException e){
20.         println(e);
21.       }break;
22.     }
23.   }
24. }

1. public void getContactInfo(Intent intent)
2. {
3. println("here");
4.    Cursor cursor =  managedQuery(intent.getData(), null, null, null, null);     
5.    while (cursor.moveToNext())
6.    {          
7.        String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
8.        String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
9.        println("Name of contact: "+name);
10.        String hasPhone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));
11.        if ( hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1"))
12.            hasPhone = "true";
13.        else
14.            hasPhone = "false" ;
15.        if (Boolean.parseBoolean(hasPhone))
16.        {
17.         Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ contactId,null, null);
18.         while (phones.moveToNext())
19.         {
20.           String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
21.           println("Contacts phone number: "+phoneNumber);
22.         }
23.         phones.close();
24.        }
25.        // Find Email Addresses
26.        Cursor emails = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId,null, null);
27.        while (emails.moveToNext())
28.        {
29.         String emailAddress = emails.getString(emails.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
30.         println("Contacts email address: "+emailAddress);
31.        }
32.        emails.close();
33.   }
34.    cursor.close();
35. }//getContactInfo
