thank you for your reply - as i said, the code worked fine in the main activity, sendmail.java, but when i moved it to GetContacts.java i get a nullPrtException from EmailContactsRepeat where the call is. i am also listing the intent reciever where the code is called.
here is the manifest <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; package="org.apache.android.mail"> <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/> <application> <receiver android:name=".EmailContactsRepeat" android:process=":remote" /> <activity android:name=".SendMail" android:label="SendMail"> <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> <activity android:name=".SendContacts" > </activity> <activity android:name=".GetContacts" > </activity> </application> </manifest> here is the intent package org.apache.android.mail;
