I found some websites describing MobileScrobbler for iPhone you’ve developed. I just wondered if it was possible to get a copy of it? I’m aware of the Last.fm application for iPhone, but unfortunately it is not available in Finland yet. Moreover, I’m more interested in that scrobbling feature and not so interested in having Last.fm radio in my iPhone.

Anyway, in case of possibility to get a copy of MobileScrobbler, please, feel free to contact me via email (Thumas_Miilumaki@hotmail.com).

Thanks.

Kind regards,
Thumas

Oh, I suspected something like that in the manifest Anyway, thanks for confirming my thoughts. I’ll give this a try tomorrow and report if get any progress

<activity android:name=".activity.Profile" android:label="@string/profile_label">
	<intent-filter>
		<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
		<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
		<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.fm.last.android.profile" />
	</intent-filter>
</activity>

You can then read the data that gets passed to your activity through getIntent().getData() like so (I store the username in the DATA1 field of my contacts data row):

if(getIntent().getData() != null) {
	Cursor cursor = managedQuery(getIntent().getData(), null, null, null, null);
	if(cursor.moveToNext()) {
		mUsername = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("DATA1"));
	}
}

However, I am still struggling with defining the activity that could be launched when a custom field/contact item is clicked. Also a QuickContact item is what I’m trying to implement. Could you shortly describe how the intent and activity should be defined? Should it be in the AndroidManifest.xml? Thank you very much. I currently just getting the log output describing that no activity for the custom contact item was found:

I/ActivityManager( 53): Starting activity: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.android.contacts/data/22 }
E/ViewContact( 103): No activity found for intent: Intent { act=android.intent.action.VIEW dat=content://com.android.contacts/data/22 }

AccountManager am = AccountManager.get(this);
Account[] accounts = am.getAccountsByType(getString(R.string.ACCOUNT_TYPE));
ContentResolver.setIsSyncable(accounts[0], ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, 1);
ContentResolver.setSyncAutomatically(accounts[0], ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, true);

Two questions:
1) Any idea how to set presence indicator? I’ve tried http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.StatusColumns.html#PRESENCE, but no luck.

2) Any idea how to change the menu for the “Long Tap” menu? I can get the quick contact to work, I was hoping the long tap menu would inherit.

I’m a little curious why you explicitly perform:

#
builder = ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI);
#
builder.withSelection(BaseColumns._ID + ” = ‘” + c.getLong(1) + “‘”, null);
#
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.DATA3, status);
#
operationList.add(builder.build());

in your updateContactStatus method. When I was playing around with statuses, it automatically did that for me because of the association with the data row.

I am wondering if creating a sync provider is the only way to include ones app in the Quick Contact widget. If my application has nothing to sync, but would benefit the user being in the QC list, must I create a phantom sync service (authenticate and the “whole-nine”)?

I’m wondering if its possible to simply include my app on the QC list and, if so, how?

Thanks in advance!

android:proc=”:auth” is set in AndroidManifest (and can be seen in logcat when the service starts up). What could be causing this?

- set it to android:supportsUploading=”true” and re-install the app

Then all contacts created will be assigned to the demo provider

One question. I’ve installed the AndroidSyncProviderDemo in the emulator and configured the account “efudd” now shows up on my “Account and sync Settings” settings page.

However, I was expecting that when I create a new contact that it would either default to the new sync provider or prompt me for a choice.

sqlite> select _id, account_name, account_type, display_name from raw_contacts;
select _id, account_name, account_type, display_name from raw_contacts;
_id|account_name|account_type|display_name
1|efudd|org.c99.SyncProviderDemo.account|Elmer Fudd
2|||Test1
3|||Test2
4|||Test3

How can I make efudd|org.c99.SyncProviderDemo.account the account for all new contacts?

Thanks again

However, when I click on Add Account in “Accounts & Sync” it takes me to the default Exchange screen. My service isnt getting fired at all. I don’t see Account Authenticator intent being raised either.
