Do not try to build that code as a separate project. The built-in applications, in general, are designed to be built as part of the firmware, not simply to the SDK. > Can somebody lead me to a correct direction? You have not indicated what the "direction" is. If you are trying to assist with the Android open source project, and make patches to Contacts, do not pull it into a separate application. Rather, follow the instructions at http://source.android.com to build firmware and make your changes that way. If you are trying to make a separate installable application, remove all functionality from the code that relies upon classes not in the SDK. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to *Advanced* Android Development_ Version 0.9 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
