I have create a vcf file that contains contacts by using this code
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,null, null, null, null);
String lookupKey = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.LOOKUP_KEY));
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_VCARD_URI, lookupKey);
System.out.println("The value is " + cr.getType(uri));
AssetFileDescriptor fd = this.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = fd.createInputStream();
how can I import this file into the device by code?
After searching the Web the best way to import contacts is as follows
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE,null)
.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
.withValue(RawContacts.STARRED, Starred)
.withValue(RawContacts.CUSTOM_RINGTONE, CustRingTone)
.build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, displayName)
.withValue(StructuredName.PHONETIC_GIVEN_NAME, PhoneticName_First)
.withValue(StructuredName.PHONETIC_MIDDLE_NAME, PhoneticName_Middle)
.withValue(StructuredName.PHONETIC_FAMILY_NAME, PhoneticName_Last)
.build());
for (RowData phone : phones) {
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(Phone.NUMBER, phone.data)
.withValue(Phone.TYPE, phone.type)
.withValue(Phone.LABEL, phone.customLabel)
.build());
}
