[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
Thanks, hackbod, for your comments. I see how this API is satisfactory for the stated purpose of notifying other view elements when they need to re-sync with the ContentProvider. Of course, that is not the only kind of application that cares about changes to content, and I personally wish you guys hadn't given up on the idea of describing the change in the onChange() method. But I understand that specifying that change is a more difficult problem than, say, telling you what radio box was selected in a onCheckedChangeListener(). --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

It's a very intentional design. In fact originally the API did tell you what changed, but in many cases it is difficult if not near impossible to provide that information. The API is primarily designed for user interface elements like list views, and it turns out that it is really at least as easy for them to re-query the cursor and synchronize its new contents with the list, than to try to keep track of each change that happens and apply that to its representation of what is in the cursor (and hope that actually stays consistent with what is in the content provider). At any rate, it is far far safer to re-synchronize with the current contents of the content provider, than to try to integrate step-wise updates and try to actually guarantee that your view of what is in the provider actually matches its real contents. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

I totally agree.To detect even a single change, I will surely have to rescan everythingThats a lot of work of course Dexter.

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
The problem is that ContentObserver.onChange() doesn't tell you what changed. So how do you figure it out? Well, as far as I can tell you have to keep your own copy of everything you might care about in the database, and then when you get onChange() you read everything from the ContentProvider and then compare it to your local copy, looking for changes. That is, you have to rescan the database with every change, not just between instantiations. But if I'm wrong, please tell me! Since you (DB) are storing a local copy anyway, this might be feasible, but for most purposes this is just too onerous to be useful. I really hope they fix this API to indicate what has changed, because ContentObserver is a nice idea - it allows different frontend and backend applications to share a common data pool. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
Great that you liked the idea. In fact, this would be useful for more than one application, so one small background service could actually keep track of changes for several applications. In this general sense, it would eventually be interesting for our project as well (OpenIntents - http://code.google.com/p/openintents/ ). Some caveats: * Whenever your service crashes or is stopped by the system or whenever the phone is rebooted, you probably can not be sure that no fields have changed in the mean-time, so then a full scan is necessary anyway. * Is it possible to get a hash of the whole database file, like an md5? Would the system allow this? Then one would only have to rescan the database if the hash changed while the service was off.

So one could probably write a lightweight background service that uses
a content observer to constantly monitor for changes, and notifies the
starting app only of those fields that have changed in the meantime.
Of course this effort would only make sense if the contact list is
long, and the app is used frequently...

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
You could use a content observer, but this would require your app
always running to monitor for changes.
I'm not sure of a solution off-hand besides updating your list when
your application starts. We deliberately decided to not support
having apps launched to be notified when data in a content provider
changes, because that can quickly lead to bogging down the system as
it launches a bunch of apps each time a piece of data changes.

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
ok...Let me tell you what i wanted to doI have a local file that
has information about all the contacts on the phone. And my
application uses this local file and not the phone book data
directly
So I wanted that, whenever a new contact is added or an old one is
deleted, I should run a program that would update this local file .
But this seems to be impossible right now if there's no intent for
this. I will have to do a check for changes in the phone book and
update my local file, everytime my application startsThats a bit
of overhead on my appand will also affect the startup time...

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
No, it has nothing to do with writing a contacts provider. The
provider is the back-end data; an activity is the user interface. You
just write a new activity that operates on the existing content
provider.

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
If you want to write your own activity implementing those actions, how
would you do that ?
Implementing a new whole ContactsProvider ?
If you only want to replace, say INSERT ?
How your new ContactsProvider can coexist with the standard one if you
want to extend its functionality ?

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
The android.intent.action.INSERT and android.intent.action.VIEW
actions are not broadcasts, they are actions for starting activities
to show a UI to insert a new entry, or view an existing entry,
respectively. Thus you don't register for them with a , you
launch them with startActivity(). (You can also write your own
activity implementing those actions to replace the standard UI, but
that's probably not what you are wanting.)

[android-developers] Re: Intent Receiver for android.intent.action.INSERT
Hi,
I don't think that the intents for contacts added and contacts deleted
intents are broadcasted.
So you cannot receive these intents.
