I have a problem with my app.
I’m trying to execute a query, but the app stops every time.
This error occurs while trying to the execute query.
I’m learning from Android Pro 3 book, but code presented in this book is deprecated:
package com.example.contactsabuout;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Contacts;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.util.Log;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private static Context context;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
MainActivity.context = getApplicationContext();
Log.v("INFO", "Completed: onCreate.");
}
public static Context getAppContext() {
return MainActivity.context;
}
public void doQuery(View view) {
Uri peopleBaseUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
Log.v("II","Button clicked.");
Log.v("II", "Uri for ContactsContract.Contacts: " + peopleBaseUri);
Context context = getAppContext();
Log.v("II", "Got context: " + context);
Cursor cur;
Log.v("II", "Created cursor: cur");
cur = context.getContentResolver().query(peopleBaseUri, null, null, null, null);
}
@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
return true;
}
}
