“Great tutorial … but it does not work on android 2.1 API level 7 since the People class seems to be deprecated. Just pointing that out”

For the new api I’ve found this tutorial quite useful http://app-solut.com/2011/03/working-with-the-contactscontract-to-query-contacts-in-android/

Hey, first off wanted to say how great all these tutorials are and how much help they provide in learning Android, so thank you very much and keep up the awesome work

Now for the question, I added some contacts into the emulator, one with a home number and another with a mobile number (that is one phone number per contact) but when I run the ListContacts app, it gets the Name and displays it but it doesn’t get the Phone number. It’s not that it retrieved it but didn’t display it, it didn’t get it at all because when I click on the contact it says no valid number entered :/

Any idea whats going wrong? Maybe I didn’t copy a piece of code properly? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, thanks for this tutorial!
But what if I want to sort that list get sorted by alphabetical order by locale that phone is currently using?

You are not a bitch

May I quote myself:

Now it is time to create the activity, in our case, the ListActivity.

Because, i followed your tutorial and didn’t copy paste your code and typed everything myself. When you say:

“The first thing you should do is creating a new project in Eclipse (or in your IDE). I chose “com.droidnova.android.contacts” as package and “ListContacts” as activity name.”

It creates a project with a superclass of Activity. That class doesn’t support the method “setListAdapter(myAdapter);” And noobies in android like me are searching for this method, why didn’t Martin write the methoud out…? and so forth.

Just wanted to point that out.

But great job on the tutorials, i am planning to follow them all!

P.S. sorry to be a bitch :p

Well, it was ListActivity in the first place, so why should I mention it?

Nice tutorial, only you forgot to mention to change the superclass from Activity to ListActivity.
