Contact-editor++-qr.png


This is the contact editor (and only the editor) from the Android 2.1 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)

  • 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
  • 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"
  • field "Internet Call" (not available in Android 2.1 and 2.2)
  • 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 set default account for new contacts
  • option to add default groups for new contacts
  • allow to add groups from other accounts
  • option to create new groups
  • allow to copy/move contacts between accounts
  • fix translations of new features
  • add field "maiden name"
  • allow to set behaviour when back is pressed ("save and exit" or "exit without saving")
  • allow to select which fields should be in the "more" section
  • don't save contact if no modification was made
