The code appears to be correct - it is supposed to work on any Android phone :-(
However, calling it for result does not really make sense. It is supposed to launch the activity and that's that - no result will be returned. If you need to user to pick a contact from the list, do this instead: new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI) Cheers, - Dmitri On Wed, Jul 28, 2010 at 1:47 PM, Indicator Veritatis <mej1...@yahoo.com>wrote: > My guess is that it is the non-Samsung phones that are doing something > non-standard, something you cannot rely on.
