How can I launch the 'Add Contact' activity in android

Question

Can you please tell me how to launch the Add Contact' activity in android? Thank you.

Answer 1

API Level 5 and above solution

// Add listener so your activity gets called back upon completion of action, // in this case with ability to get handle to newly added contact myActivity.addActivityListener(someActivityListener);  Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT); intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);  // Just two examples of information you can send to pre-fill out data for the // user.  See android.provider.ContactsContract.Intents.Insert for the complete // list. intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, "some Contact Name"); intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, "some Phone Number");  // Send with it a unique request code, so when you get called back, you can // check to make sure it is from the intent you launched (ideally should be // some public static final so receiver can check against it) int PICK_CONTACT = 100; myActivity.startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT); 

Answer 2

These two lines do the trick:

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT,                                 ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);     startActivity(intent);
