hi i'm new to android n want to know how i can export the android contacts in a csv format.

As i need to transfer the file to web server and then need to store it in a centralized database(MySQL) vCard is less preferable...

or else may sound silly but can i convert it in JSON?

Your replay will really mean a lot to me thanks..

Read this answer: Android contacts extraction

Looks like VCard is the easiest choice, as there's an API for it.

  • Just follow the link and check out some of the code and links to the Android Developer Site. I'm not really a vCard expert, so I can't help you out much there. Don't forget to accept my answer if you feel like it's a good one! :D – pqn Jul 31 '12 at 21:27
