Question

I want the phonenumber to be loaded into string xx”…how is it possible??How to share data between methods?? I have tried to make the method public but that wont help….I know the activity starts from main activity…so how is it possible to get data from another method and then process main activity?

public class MsgcontactActivity extends Activity {

    private static final int CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT = 1001;
    public void doLaunchContactPicker(View view) 
    {  
        Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,Contacts.CONTENT_URI);  
        startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT);  
    }

    EditText phoneTxt;
    TextView tv;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        tv=(TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView1);
        String xx=phoneTxt.getText().toString();
        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), xx,Toast.LENGTH_LONG ).show();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    {  
         String phone="";
         Cursor contacts=null;

                        String id = result.getLastPathSegment(); 
                        contacts=getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] { id },  null);

Answer 1

Call this doLaunchContactPicker() method after setContentView(R.layout.main); in onCreate() method and if you don’t use view in doLaunchContactPicker() method then don’t pass View as a parameter in method and add this line Button btn=(Button) findViewById(R.id.Contacts); after setContentView(R.layout.main);
