Hello there!
I'm currently working on a Service, which extracts all information from the Contacts app (e.g. name, number, email, etc).
Now, I've been searching a while and the best tutorial I came across is the following: Working with the ?ContactsContract? to query contacts in Android APP-SOLUT APPLICATION-SOLUTIONS | The Android and iPhone Developer, Tutorial and App News Blog
The basic idea is to use a Contact-Provider, as only they can give you access to content information of another app.
Now, to access a contact-Provider you 1) first need the CONTENT_URI and then 2) need to create a cursor to access content.
The Cursor is created via the 'managedQuery(...) - Method', whch is only given for Activities. However, I'm implementing a service, so using managedQuery results in an error shown by Eclipse.
So, my question is: Is there any alternative to creating cursors rather than with the managedQeury method?
