Richard B Knoll commented on CB-10148:
--------------------------------------
After looking into this for awhile, I cannot find a way to get around
requesting the permission. Picking the contact with an intent gives us
permission to query that contact's lookup URI. However, we need the entire
contact, not just what is returned by that query (which includes very little
useful information). It looks like you can request specific contact information
(phone number, email, etc.) when you send the ACTION_PICK intent by setting the
Intent type, but you can't request all of it at once. Right now we grab it all
from the raw contacts table and that requires READ_CONTACTS. Overall, this is a
pretty ridiculous way to do the contact URI permission granting on Android's
part. [~bowserj] am I missing something here?
