Dear Fellow Developers, I would like to request your comments on : How to add new field(s) in to android's contacts.db database ?
After going through existing discussion on this topic; I could find that the deveopers recommend creating a new database for the new fields and simultaneously provide a custom contacts content provider. This custom content provider will join SQl queries from the new databse and contacts.db.The id field being the link between the contacts database and new databse.Pls see the link. http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/19de2b2ac8640b4c/9e4d1f9723831875?lnk=gst&q=contacts+extension#9e4d1f9723831875 So I have following queries : 1. Is any simpler way out for this problem. Since the thread is quite old; I was wondering whether google provided any new API , interface to sort this problem? 2. Can someone explain me the purpose of Contacts.Extensions and Contacts.People.Extensions. I guess these are for extending contact fields but not much information is available online. 3. If the above classes serves the purpose of extending the contacts database (i.e. add field columns) , then Do i need to modify standard contacts content provider for retrieving my custom field's data?
