}
protected void pickContact() {
startActivityForResult(mContactAccessor.getPickContactIntent(), PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
}
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
loadContactInfo(data.getData());
}
}
private void loadContactInfo(Uri contactUri) {
AsyncTask<Uri, Void, ContactInfo> task = new AsyncTask<Uri, Void, ContactInfo>() {
@Override
protected ContactInfo doInBackground(Uri... uris) {
return mContactAccessor.loadContact(getContentResolver(), uris[0]);
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(ContactInfo result) {
bindView(result);
}
};
task.execute(contactUri);
}
protected void bindView(ContactInfo contactInfo) {
TextView displayNameView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display_name_text_view);
displayNameView.setText(contactInfo.getDisplayName());
TextView phoneNumberView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.phone_number_text_view);
phoneNumberView.setText(contactInfo.getPhoneNumber());
}
}
.
You need to call setContentView()
before you call findViewbyId()
otherwise you do not have a layout to find your view from
