Question

Code show an error when try declare a new Uri

follow code:

Intent pickContactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, new Uri("content://contacts"));

show an error

“Cannot instantiate the type Uri”

Answer 1

Instead of constructing a Uri, use the static parse method to create it:

Uri.parse("content://contacts");

Although, since you are accessing contacts, you should probably prefer using the static field CONTENT_URI from the Contacts class. See the SDK reference for Contacts.

This would make your code:

Intent pickContactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
