Could someone please point to some tutorial on how to setup and build the Google's Contact apps which is under packages/apps/Contact and run it in Android Emulator.
I know it has lot of dependencies including the provider itself which is a separate service., and other libraries from the source folder, but what i'm trying to do is to learn the way Google has designed their contact app and use some of its techniques in my app.
Currently i debug manually !! ^-^.. its very very painful, esp following Intent Calls..
but if i were able to compile and build the Contacts app myself, and run it in emulator, i can add some easy debug messages and recompile and then trace them. Could someone please help me with this.
Thanks in advance

So I found a thread which said create the contacts in gmail.com, then export them to a vcf file and use adb to push them to the emulator and then import them into Contacts . I tried this, the file copied over okay, and I ran the import, which showed a progress bar and the contact names being imported.
You need to export your gmail contacts as vcf (vCard) file (but not CSV file) and then import the downloaded file into nox player using the nox's "contact app" (if you don't have contact app you will have to download it from play store), then settings under contact on the right side, then import under manage contacts ...
In Android Studio, create an Android Virtual Device (AVD) that the emulator can use to install and run your app. In the toolbar, select your app from the run/debug configurations drop-down menu. From the target device drop-down menu, select the AVD that you want to run your app on. Click Run .
