How to display Dialog in Contacts

Question

I used this code for a button, after that I am in the Contacts Activity:

btnPhonebook.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent pb = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
            startActivityForResult(pb, 1);
        }
    });

After that, there is a contact list with many contacts. Now I want that, whenever I clicked to a contact, a dialog is displayed. How can I do that. Could anyone help me because currently I have no issue how to make it. I have tried with this code but it did not work.

Dialog dialog = new Dialog(this);
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            builder.setTitle("Choose a phone number");

            ListView lp = new ListView(this);
            lp.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, _listPhoneNumber));

            builder.setView(lp);
            dialog = builder.create();

Also I put the above code in onActivityResult() method.

Thanks in advance.

Instead of using the Built in Intent to display contacts.. why don't you build the List yourself and then do what you plan to do.

OR

Did you set your dialog to .show()?

It is very simple,

progDailog = ProgressDialog.show(loginAct,"Process ", "please wait....",true,true);

new Thread ( new Runnable()
{
     public void run()
     {
      // your loading code goes here
     }
}).start();

 Handler progressHandler = new Handler() 
 {

     public void handleMessage(Message msg1) 
     {

         progDailog.dismiss();
         }
 }

You cannot show Dialog in native Contacts app.

However you can fetch Contacts by yourself and show them in a ListView with CheckBox and proceed to next step.

Here is a simplest ListView to show contacts. you can edit it by yourself.

I Have did this in my application how we can get contact detail from listview , using this Data you can Display your dialog.

    lv.setClickable(true);
    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView <? > arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {

        Object o = lv.getItemAtPosition(position);
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), o.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        String infoString = o.toString();
        String arr[] = infoString.split(",");
        String names[] = arr[1].split("=");
        id = Integer.parseInt(names[1]);
        System.out.println("info" + id);

        db = dh.getReadableDatabase();

        String select = "select * from '" + dh.tablename + "' WHERE adb_id='" + id + "' ";
        Cursor c = db.rawQuery(select, null);

        if (c.moveToFirst()) {

            name.setText(c.getString(1));
            address.setText(c.getString(2));
            contact.setText(c.getString(3));    
        }    
    }
});

If you want to use dialog in contact then you have to make your own custom layout for contact.. See below code for example... on button click

public static final int NUMBER_SELECT = 1;
Intent intent = new Intent(clsBlockNumbers.this,CallLog_Activity.class);
startActivityForResult(intent,NUMBER_SELECT);

in the same Activity write/make onActivityResult

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data)
        {
            switch(requestCode) {
            case NUMBER_SELECT: 
                if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                    String number = data.getStringExtra("SelectedNumber");
                    if(number == null)
                    {
                        Toast.makeText(this, "No Record found: ", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //Your code
                    }
                    break;
                }

            }

        }

Thanks very much for your code. But I still do not understand: Where and What are the private CallLogListAdapter adapter and CallLog callLog; in the CallLogActivity.java Thanks. — detno29, Feb 06 '12 at 08:22
You are most welcome.. If it will really helps you then make it correct so that other can use it. — anddev, Feb 06 '12 at 08:36
sorry, i saw that this code display the callLog- Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls"), how can I get the phonebook list? — detno29, Feb 06 '12 at 08:37
Yes it is the example of CallLog list if you want to use contacts then it must be different URI for that.. You have to find it out.. :( — anddev, Feb 06 '12 at 08:38
You can refere this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/866769/how-to-call-android-contacts-list — anddev, Feb 06 '12 at 08:41
That is not a code snippet, that a full working program, save yourself the trouble and **ONLY** post what is necessary. Also just so you know that doesn't answer the question — JoxTraex, Feb 06 '12 at 16:44
