RawContacts table. Data table. Rows containing the details for raw contact, such as email addresses or phone numbers. RawContacts is tied to an Account.
For example, a Yahoo account, a Hotmail account, a Google account, would all be separate RawContacts but could all represent the same person a single entry in the Contacts table.
Though ContactsContract may be simple, the amount of time required for someone to truly understand and master the ins-and-outs of the API is large. What is it doing? The function retrieveAllContacts ;. A few things to note,. Lots of icky stuff there! If there are matching contacts, then this function makes up to:. I probably did not get the math right. This can probably be optimized by a lot.
Keep this number in mind for later… How would the above code snippet change if you want to get all contacts data address, email, event, group membership, IM, name, nickname, note, organization, phone, photo, relation, SIP address, and website? How about other functions like contact creation, updates, and deletion? I understand that that util function was probably created for a small piece of an app. It does not have to look nice or be that performant. But still, it shows that we as a community still have yet to find a standard pretty, complete, and performant way to perform all Contacts provider functions without having to deal with icky stuff.
Since the start of my professional career and even before that , I have just been taking and taking from the open source community without ever giving anything in return.
That is the nature of the world of open source, I guess. To give and expect nothing in return, except hope that the community may find it useful and contribute back to the open sourced code, is just the way it is. From full stack web front and backend engineer to Android specialist, I have never looked back. There was nothing wrong with web and backend engineering but mobile was what really caught my fancy.
Everyone was starting to have a smartphone. It was all the rave. I had been lucky enough to specialize in the new golden age of mobile engineering, which until this retrospective I had been taking for granted…. Without Android and the open source community built around it, I would not be where I am today. From birth and childhood in the Philippines to higher education in the US, Android has provided me a life I thought I could only dream of living.
To this day, it is providing for me and my family. With all that gratitude, why have I not given anything back? The android. Contacts was deprecated by ContactsContract. I hope to revive Contacts in a different package but under the same name; contacts. Whereas ContactsContract deprecated android. Contacts , contacts. Contacts would wrap ContactsContract and simplify it. Side note, I originally had the core module package set as contacts instead of contacts.
T he goals of contacts. Contacts are to ;. To harness the full power of this API, users would only need to remember the one-to-many relationship between the Contacts , RawContacts , and Data tables respectively. It may be very presumptuous of me to think that the Contacts API library that I will be open sourcing will get traction from the Android community… However, if I can help just a handful of Android engineers out there somewhere in the world with this API, then mission is accomplished!
Today marks the official open sourcing of Contacts, Reborn 0. It is written purely in Kotlin but does provide Java interoperability. The core library supports;. There are also extensions that add functionality to every core function;.
Also included are some pre-baked goodies to be used as is or just for reference;. There are also more features that are on the way! Framework-agnostic design. The API does not and will not force you to use any frameworks e. All core functions of the API live in the core module, which you can import to your project all by itself. All other modules in this library are optional and are just there for your convenience or for reference.
To tie it all up, there is of course a sample application that showcases all of the above. It is intentionally barebones and not made to look pretty. I put every ounce of talent I have if I actually have any into building this.
I also gave it all the love I can give it. In the previous sections, we looked at a code snippet for the function retrieveAllContacts.
To retrieve all contacts containing all available contact data,. To simply search for Contacts, yielding the exact same results as the native Contacts app,. To retrieve the first five contacts including only the contact id, display name, and phone numbers in the results ordered by display name in descending order, matching ALL of these rules;. For more info, read How do I get a list of contacts in the simplest way? Imagine what this would look like if you use ContactsContract directly.
So… How many database queries are performed by these functions internally? Depending on function call parameters, at least two and at most six or sevenn.
As previously mentioned in the v1 feature set, this library is capable of doing more than just querying contacts. To get the first 20 Gmail emails ordered by email address in descending order,. For more info, read How do I get a list of specific data kinds? Or alternatively, in a more Kotlinized style,.
For more info, read How do I update contacts? For more info, read How do I delete contacts? The Contacts, Reborn library provides Kotlin coroutine extensions for all API functions to handle permissions and executing work in background threads. For more info, read How do I use the permissions extensions to simplify permission handling using coroutines? The user will be prompted to give the appropriate permissions before the query proceeds.
Then, the work is done in the coroutine context of choice default is Dispatchers. If the user does not give permission, the query will return no results. There is a lot more that I will not cover here. I probably missed a lot of important stuff because there is simply too much.
Thanks for your comment. Unfortunately, it is a little more complicated on HTC because of the customization. If all attempts to disable an application fail, just disabling its notifications is better than nothing.
Post a Comment. Among other things that are beyond the scope of this post, T-mobile is known for slapping mostly useless, extremely annoying, often intrusive, and always poorly implemented applications onto mobile phones. MobileLife Contacts is, quite possibly, one of the worst I have seen so far in that it is all of the above plus very hard to get rid of.
I could go on ranting, but, I guess, you just want to know how to uninstall the "pest". Phone-operation-wise, the effect of disabling an app is the same as that of uninstalling i. Yes, MobileLife Contacts can be disabled! Here are the steps assuming you are running HTC Sense 4 : 1. Settings - Apps - All 2.
Disable Customization Setup. Disable Customization Settings Provider. Disable MobileLife Contacts. Enable Customization Settings Provider yes, in the reverse order.
Enable Customization Setup. It appears that quite a few T-mobile's "pest apps" can be disabled this way. Have fun experimenting, but don't blame me if you screw something up a standard disclaimer. Thanks to Marco Duran for bringing it to my attention.
My guess is that you should be able to disable them via terminal you will need to install a terminal emulator using something like this: pm disable com. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
