What do you want to modify here? The Contacts content provider or the UI of the Contacts application included on the emulator?
You could extend the Contacts content provider or wrap it in another class that maps from the strings that you want to use to the strings that it uses. The Contacts content provider stores its data in a certain format and uses these constants to access the underlying data, so you don't really want to modify them (even if you could) or you'd break the content provider. The Contacts application itself would need to be modified to change the UI it presents. We don't provide the source for this application, so you can't do this. You can, however, write your own Contacts application to replace the default one. Cheers, Justin Android Team @ Google On May 5, 9:29 pm, scimitar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi.
