hi,
to display the contact i have used this coding
Code: 
[LEFT][SIZE=2]Cursor cursor = getContacts();[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]String[] fields = [/SIZE][B][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055]new[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=2] String[] { ContactsContract.Data.[/SIZE][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0]DISPLAY_NAME[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][SIZE=2] };[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][COLOR=#3f7f5f][SIZE=2][COLOR=#3f7f5f]//this.setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_checked,));[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/LEFT]
 
[SIZE=2]SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = [/SIZE]
[LEFT][B][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055]new[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=2] SimpleCursorAdapter([/SIZE][B][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055][SIZE=2][COLOR=#7f0055]this[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B][SIZE=2],[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]android.R.layout.[/SIZE][I][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0]simple_list_item_checked[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I][SIZE=2], cursor, fields,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000c0]mContactList[/COLOR][/SIZE][/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2].setAdapter(adapter);[/SIZE][/LEFT]

i both add and delete i am not getting any error, but it is not reflected nither in the contact nor in the textView.
please help me , i am a newbie.​
 
Hi All,
I know the code below opens the native Edit/Add contact screen

Intent newIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT,
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(newIntent, 1);

now i want this screen to be populated with some data in fields like
name, phone number, address etc. I found that if i do something like
newIntent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert .NAME, "Some
Name");
will show this screen with name "Some Name" being shown in the name
field this is fine for me now i dont understand how will i fill the
first name, last name , city, state and zip fields similarly.
I found the ContactsContract.Intents.Insert has a
POSTAL attribute for address but there are no specific attributes for
first name, last name, city, state and zip in ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.
Also i found that
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal has the first name, last name, city, state
and zip attributes but still i dont know how can i use this to
prepopulate the Edit/Add contact screen with values of first name, last name, city, state
and zip.

Please Help me with this,
star
