[mono-android] selecting contacts

[hdortim]

Hi John,

I am not sure, but I have used OnActivityResult() succesfully, but you 
need to override the method to make sure it is called.
So your Method shoudl look like this:
public override void OnActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, 
Intent intent)

{

...
}

Have fun,

H. Dortim
