Hi,

I'm making an Android app, and need to call the phone's contact list. I need to call the contacts list function, pick a contact, then return to my app with the contact's name. Here's the code I got on the internet, but it doesnt work. Please help:

import android.app.ListActivity; import android.content.Intent; import android.database.Cursor; import android.os.Bundle; import android.provider.Contacts.People; import android.view.View; import android.widget.ListAdapter; import android.widget.ListView; import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter; import android.widget.TextView;

public class Contacts extends ListActivity {

private ListAdapter mAdapter;
public TextView pbContact;
public static String PBCONTACT;
public static final int ACTIVITY_EDIT=1;
private static final int ACTIVITY_CREATE=0;

// Called when the activity is first created. 
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    Cursor C = getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
    startManagingCursor(C);

    String[] columns = new String[] {People.NAME};
    int[] names = new int[] {R.id.row_entry};

    mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.mycontacts, C, columns, names);
    setListAdapter(mAdapter);
} // end onCreate()
// Called when contact is pressed
@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);

    Cursor C = (Cursor) mAdapter.getItem(position);
    PBCONTACT = C.getString(C.getColumnIndex(People.NAME));

    // RHS 05/06
    //pbContact = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.myContact);
    //pbContact.setText(new StringBuilder().append("b"));

    Intent i = new Intent(this, NoteEdit.class);
    startActivityForResult(i, ACTIVITY_CREATE);
}

}
