Adding Contact using Intent in Android

Question

I'm making an application in which user can add users from the application into his contacts.

Intent intent = new Intent(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.ACTION);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, bean.getMobileNo());
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, bean.getName());
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.EMAIL, bean.getEmailID());
startActivity(intent);

so adding it is not the issue the issue when it goes to add contact screen and if the user presses back button the contact is getting saved even if the user doesn't want to save the contact.

I want to do this using Intent only not through app. Is there any solution for this or is it device specific?

Answer 1

Try this

/** * Open the add-contact screen with pre-filled info */

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);

intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, bean.getName());
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, bean.getMobileNo());
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.EMAIL, bean.getEmailID());

context.startActivity(intent);
