Question

I am trying to show the Quick Contact Badge from a home screen widget which shows the favourite contact pictures in a grid layout. I went through the tips here but still I cannot figure it out.

When I click on a contact I always get the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity ComponentInfo{com.example.gridwidget/com.example.gridwidget.ContactBadge}: android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle Intent { act=com.android.contacts.action.QUICK_CONTACT

despite I am calling the ‘ContactsContract.QuickContact.showQuickContact();’ from an activity.

This intent is causing the problem: com.android.contacts.action.QUICK_CONTACT

I tried to add it in my manifest file without success:

<activity
        android:name="com.example.gridwidget.ContactBadge"
        android:label="@string/title_activity_contact_badge"
        android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoDisplay" >

         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.android.contacts.action.QUICK_CONTACT" />
            <action android:name="com.example.gridwidget.BADGE_ACTION" />
        </intent-filter>
</activity>

Any suggestion? Since I am showing a collection, I used the RemoteViewsService pattern as described here

Thanks

Answer 1

I found the problem. The URI I was passing to ContactsContract.QuickContact.showQuickContact() was badly formatted.

It is working properly now
