I do agree with this sentiment. However, for my app (Zap's Hitta) I need
to grab the phone number just as the incoming call appears. Currently I
do this by starting a service with a listener at boot time. I'd love to
find a different way. (I also start it when the GUI is opened if needed,
hence it starts at installation too.)
Related to my app (but sadly not the original subject): I understand
that there is no way to use Contacts as a picker from my own Activity
with my own ContextMenu since that particular case is explicitly
disabled in an if statement.
Is there any way I could add an entry to the existing ContextMenu (in my
case: "Lookup address" from phone number and store in phonebook) when
Contacts is used the standard way?
I suspect it is not currently possible. Would adding such an ability be
against the design goals?
(At the moment I use an ExpandableListActivity, but it's on the crude
side for this purpose.)
Thanks in advance / Jonas
