[mono-android] selecting contacts

[John Murray]

Hello all 

sorry to be 'needy' but this might help other beginners  as well - could
form a useful how-to if I could get it working 

I have got a fair way in working out how to select a contact from the
contacts database with following code

 

This works up to a point 

 

private void butt1click()

        {

// clicking this button calls up a list of contacts from the phone
successfully

            Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ActionPick);

            intent.SetType(ContactsContract.Contacts.ContentType);

            StartActivityForResult(intent, 5555);

        }

 

// this on activityresult is intended to return something useful from the
selection e1 is  an EditText on the calling view

 

        public void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent
intent)

        {

         //   if (requestCode == 5555)

         //   {       

                ICursor cursor = ManagedQuery(intent.Data, null, null, null,
null);

                cursor.MoveToNext();

                string name = "some name";

                name =
cursor.GetString(cursor.GetColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.ContactsColum
nsConsts.DisplayName));

                e1.Text = name; 

          //  }

        }//onActivityResult

 

Works well - I get the contact selection dialog 

But it seems to completely ignore the OnActivityResult method

I have another childwindow dialog which uses same approach but in another
activity - should I just have one OnActivity method ? I thought not as this
contacts picker is called from a completely different view and activity than
the other one 

Any ideas why the OnActivityResult seems to be bypassed - you can see I
remmed out the result code in case that was it

 

TIA
