Contact Editor Pro is the contact editor (and only the editor) from the Android sources.
I fixed it to make it work with arbitrary contact sources and removed the dependencies on the internal API to make it work with more recent Android versions. Also I implemented several additional features.
additional features
This is the list of additional features (compared to the Android 2.1 stock contact editor)
- "default account" option (tap account icon to change account when you have set a default)
- copy contacts between accounts (tap account icon for a menu)
- remove a contact from a specific account
- basic group membership management
- more predefined labels for phone numbers and emails (for custom contact sources)
- labels for websites
- slightly rearranged layout (less scrolling)
- extra confirmation step when deleting fields (to prevent accidental deletion of fields)
- "take photo" option
- select size of taken contact photos
- manage multiple contact photos
- additional fields in organization: department & role
- date picker for events (can handle phones that store dates as timestamps internally)
- set contact ring tone and "send directly to voice mail"
- allows to set behaviour when back is pressed ("save and exit" or "exit without saving")
- field "Internet Call" (not available in Android 2.1 and 2.2)
- collapse-able editor sections for aggregated contacts
- more to come (write me)
known issues
- Taken contact photos may appear twice in the media gallery.
upcoming features
Below is a list of feature requests from users. Feel free to add your request. The order of the list is not related to the actual order how things will be implemented.
- option to add default groups for new contacts
- option to create new groups
- fix translations of new features
- add field "maiden name"
- allow to select which fields should be in the "more" section
- add field "relation" that allows to enter names of related persons like family members, business contacts ...
- allow import/export from/to SIM card
- option to export contact photos to file
- add white theme to match default theme on some devices
