[Q] Help adding contacts - Android Software Development

I'm still pretty new to programming and have been struggling trying to get my app to work with contacts, basically what I want is for the user to click a button and for their contacts to appear and upon selecting one it will return their phone number.
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome!

Bump... Please somebody I've tried so many ways only to have my app fc but no idea why

You're question is to generic to answer. Google is your friend and there is a ton of documentation and examples on this topic.
Try searching for "contacts intents startActivityForResult"

Text Message Multiple Recipients

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do bring up all your contacts in a list when you are sending a text message? I wanted to browse and select a few people out of my contacts but all I could do was add them one by one by typing their contact name.
I would like to be able to browse my contacts and tick off who I want the message to go to.
I don't think you can in the stock messaging app. Try Handcent instead, has a plethora of other features as well.

Is there anyway of making this the default message app?
Come on Google surely we can have better handling of contacts when sending a text message.
I come away from Symbian and Nokia to find a simple feature like this on an advanced phone like the Nexus S is missing. (I could do it on my old Nokia for gods sake)
How can we report stuff like this?
Not sure if you are, but if you're talking about hero or evo, you can click the little person on the right of where you would type the individual names. From there, you can select all recipients or groups

This is where to file a report on complaints/issues. I recommend using it and sharing the link to the report you file so that people may star it; this'll bring as much attention to it to Google as possible. Hopefully then they'll add/fix the feature in future updates. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list?thanks=13414&ts=1293293994
Sorry, I'm using the mobile app, and I can't see which forum this is

Ok thank you I will do that.
Does anyone know how to make Handcent the default messaging App and stop new messages going into the Stock app?

Voice Search contact names

Hi everyone,
I would like you guys to check the voice recognition for Voice Search. It seems that it would not recognize any names in my contact list, including very ready names such as John. I am currently using Super Clean NV 2.7. Thank you!
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I'm having the same issue with Superclean v2.6. I'll be we're not the first to notice this.
*EDIT*
I don't know that this is an issue with the ROM, but with Google.

ICS Limited access of contacts in messages

Hi!
As I said in the title of the post, on every ICS ROM I use, the main problem is CONTACTS in messages, more precisely when I start to create new message and when I add recipient from Contacts I don't see all Contacts!!! For example, I have 10 people which name start with "Joh...", and when I type that in recipient in MESSAGES, it show me only 3-4 people which name start with "Joh..,"!!!

I would like to know the answer to this myself.

Dunno. With aospx it seems to work fine. When I start to type a name a little scrollable list comes down with options and I just scroll down til I find a name. Then again I don't have tons of just "john"s in my contacts, I tend to add something else so that I know who is who as in "gay john", "johnny cash", etc.

Re: Facebook log in sync apps
I recently got this phone and in my notifications I get Facebook log in. As doing so I get a statement saying basically is it ok for Galaxy S4 to do what ever.
I finally rooted my phone and put shoShock on. I still get this annoying notification and I don't want a 3rd party on my Facebook.
I tried to look for it on my device but had no luck!
Can someone please help me!
Thank you!

Go to settings - more - application manager - move over to the right where it says all than scroll down the list and look for “SNS" than open that and turn it off. Hit the thanks button if I helped you out

Gosms Keeps restarting

Hello, I would like to know if anyone is having problems with go SMS pro? The problem I'm having is it keeps resetting for some reason which results in me having to keep logging in. It also kicks all my private contacts into regular inbox until I move them back individually. I love the features gosms has to offer, but I'm willing to move on if I cannot solve this issue. Any suggestions on fixing this problem, or suggestions on a different SMS with similar features?

Which version are you using?
Just pro or premium?
Have you uninstalled/reinstalled?
Cleared cache/data?
Logging in?
Is that for the free messages thing?
Thanks for quick response. I have cleared data but to no avail. The problem persist. Here is a screenshot of the app info.
