Android sdk create and update and delete contact

The following permissions need to handle contacts on android application:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />

Android how to use ContactsContract to retrieve phone numbers and email addresses

ContactsContract is the contract between a contacts provider and applications 
that want to use contacts. The following code shows how to find a contact based on 

name, and once it's found, how to retrieve the various types of phone numbers and 

email addresses:

import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.RawContacts;  

String NAME = "Pritom Mondal";
Cursor cursor = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, "DISPLAY_NAME = '" + NAME + "'", null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
 String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
 Cursor phones = managedQuery(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
 while (phones.moveToNext()) {
  String number = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
  int type = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
  System.out.println("TYPE: "+type+" NUMBER: "+number);
 }
 phones.close();
 
 Cursor emails = managedQuery(Email.CONTENT_URI, null, Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
 while (emails.moveToNext()) {
  String number = emails.getString(emails.getColumnIndex(Email.DATA));
  int type = emails.getInt(emails.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
  System.out.println("TYPE: "+type+" EMAIL: "+number);
 }
 emails.close();
}
cursor.close();

How to read android sim contacts and phone contacts separately

The <uses-permission> should be contained in the <manifest> element. See Structure of the Manifest File. So trying putting it before <application>.

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="10" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

 

try {
    	String[] PROJECTION=new String[] {Contacts._ID,
    	        Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
    	        Phone.NUMBER
    	    };
    	Cursor c = managedQuery(Phone.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, null, null, null);
    	if (c.moveToFirst()) {
    		String ClsPhonename = null;
            String ClsphoneNo = null;
            do 
            {
                ClsPhonename = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
                ClsphoneNo = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
                System.out.println(c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contacts._ID)));

                ClsphoneNo.replaceAll("\\D", "");
                ClsPhonename=ClsPhonename.replaceAll("&", "");
                ClsPhonename.replace("|","");
                String ClsPhoneName=ClsPhonename.replace("|","");
                System.out.println("Name: "+ClsPhoneName);
                System.out.println("Phone: "+ClsphoneNo);
            } while(c.moveToNext());
    	}
    	
    	
    	Uri simUri = Uri.parse("content://icc/adn"); 
        Cursor cursorSim = this.getContentResolver().query(simUri,null,null,null,null);
        String ClsSimPhonename = null; 
        String ClsSimphoneNo = null;
        while (cursorSim.moveToNext()) 
        {      
            ClsSimPhonename =cursorSim.getString(cursorSim.getColumnIndex("name"));
            ClsSimphoneNo = cursorSim.getString(cursorSim.getColumnIndex("number"));
            ClsSimphoneNo.replaceAll("\\D","");
            ClsSimphoneNo.replaceAll("&", "");
            ClsSimPhonename=ClsSimPhonename.replace("|","");
                System.out.println("SimContacts"+ClsSimPhonename);
                System.out.println("SimContactsNo"+ClsSimphoneNo);

        }
    } catch (Exception ex) {
    	System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
    	ex.printStackTrace();
    }

Create an Android Emulator SD Card and Write Data To It

Create the SD Card...

For instance, if you want to load MP3 files on a “real” Android phone, you’ll probably insert an SD card into the phone. The emulator can emulate this, but you need to jump through a few hoops:
Let's create a 64MB sd card for our Android emulator, shall we?
Linux
From a terminal...

# cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
# ./mksdcard 64M ~/Desktop/sdcard.iso

Windows XP
From a DOS prompt...
Actually where is your android-sdk-windows exists.

cd C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools
mksdcard 64M c:\documents and settings\tyler\desktop\sdcard.iso

Now you can use the 'Eclipse Android SDK and AVD Manager' to create a new android virtual device that can use the path to the sd card you created.

Write Data to the SD Card...

Linux
From a terminal...

# cd ~/android-sdk-linux/tools
# ./ddms

Windows XP
From a DOS prompt...

cd C:\Program Files\android-sdk-windows\tools
ddms

This will start the Dalvik Debug Monitor Server. Next...

1. Launch your AVD with SD card from Eclipse that you created earlier
2. From DDMS, go to 'Device -> File Explorer' 
3. Select the 'sdcard' folder
4. Click the 'push file onto device' button
5. Find your file and click open

That's it!
Now from inside your code you can get to the sd card's path with: Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()

Grails get view.gsp file output to a string variable

def formValueHtml = g.include(view: "pdf/customerAndInvoiceProductDetails.gsp", model: [
      invoiceProductInstance: invoiceProductInstance,
      invoiceInstance: invoiceInstance,
      customerInstance: customerInstance
]);

Where  customerAndInvoiceProductDetails.gsp is a view file.
And  invoiceProductInstance is data object. 

Grails create criteria on model

def c = Account.createCriteria()
List results = c.list {
    like("name", "%Name Like%")
    and {
        between("amount", 500, 1000)
        eq("address", "London")
    }
    setFirstResult(0)
    setMaxResults(10)
    order("name", "desc")
    order("id", "asc")
    
    projections {
        property("id")
        groupProperty("invoice.id")
    }
}

Below is a node reference for each criterion method:

Node	Description
between	Where the property value is between to distinct values between("balance", 500, 1000)
eq	Where a property equals a particular value eq("branch", "London")
eqProperty	Where one property must equal another eqProperty("lastTransaction","firstTransaction")
gt	Where a property is greater than a particular value gt("balance",1000)
gtProperty	Where a one property must be greater than another gtProperty("balance","overdraft")
ge	Where a property is greater than or equal to a particular value ge("balance",1000)
geProperty	Where a one property must be greater than or equal to another geProperty("balance","overdraft")
idEq	Where an objects id equals the specified value idEq(1)
ilike	A case-insensitive 'like' expression ilike("holderFirstName","Steph%")
in	Where a one property is contained within the specified list of values note: 'in' is a groovy reserve word, we must escape it by quotes. 'in'("holderAge",[18..65])
isEmpty	Where a collection property is empty isEmpty("transactions")
isNotEmpty	Where a collection property is not empty isNotEmpty("transactions")
isNull	Where a property is null isNull("holderGender")
isNotNull	Where a property is not null isNotNull("holderGender")
lt	Where a property is less than a particular value lt("balance",1000)
ltProperty	Where a one property must be less than another ltProperty("balance","overdraft")
le	Where a property is less than or equal to a particular value le("balance",1000)
leProperty	Where a one property must be less than or equal to another leProperty("balance","overdraft")
like	Equivalent to SQL like expression like("holderFirstName","Steph%")
ne	Where a property does not equals a particular value ne("branch", "London")
neProperty	Where one property does not equal another neProperty("lastTransaction","firstTransaction")
order	Order the results by a particular property order("holderLastName", "desc")
sizeEq	Where a collection property's size equals a particular value sizeEq("transactions", 10)
sizeGt	Where a collection property's size is greater than a particular value sizeGt("transactions", 10)
sizeGe	Where a collection property's size is greater than or equal to a particular value sizeGe("transactions", 10)
sizeLt	Where a collection property's size is less than a particular value sizeLt("transactions", 10)
sizeLe	Where a collection property's size is less than or equal to a particular value sizeLe("transactions", 10)
sizeNe	Where a collection property's size is not equal to a particular value sizeNe("transactions", 10)

With dynamic finders, you have access to options such as max, sort, etc. These are available to criteria queries as well, but they have different names:

Name	Description
order(String, String)	Specifies both the sort column (the first argument) and the sort order (either 'asc' or 'desc'). order "age", "desc"
firstResult(int)	Specifies the offset for the results. A value of 0 will return all records up to the maximum specified. firstResult 20
maxResults(int)	Specifies the maximum number of records to return. maxResults 10
cache(boolean)	Indicates if the query should be cached (if the query cache is enabled). cache true

Criteria also support the notion of projections. A projection is used to change the nature of the results. For example the following query uses a projection to count the number of distinct branch names that exist for each Account:

Name	Description
property	Returns the given property in the returned results property("firstName")
distinct	Returns results using a single or collection of distinct property names distinct("fn") or distinct(['fn', 'ln'])
avg	Returns the average value of the given property avg("age")
count	Returns the count of the given property name count("branch")
countDistinct	Returns the count of the given property name for distinct rows countDistinct("branch")
groupProperty	Groups the results by the given property groupProperty("lastName")
max	Returns the maximum value of the given property max("age")
min	Returns the minimum value of the given property min("age")
sum	Returns the sum of the given property sum("balance")
rowCount	Returns count of the number of rows returned rowCount()
