PS: I could not figure out, why the calls happened in December. Someone has seen the default-date of the emulator

First of all that looks like a great example, but i can't make it work - i'm a bit new in java

line 49 in CallLogDisplayer class got an error:"R.drawable.in cannot be resolved"
line 52 in CallLogDisplayer class got an error:"R.drawable.missed cannot be resolved"
line 55 in CallLogDisplayer class got an error:"R.drawable.out cannot be resolved"

line 59 in IconifiedText class got an error: "The method compareTo(IconifiedText) of type IconifiedText must override a superclass method"

can i download the whole project from somewhere?

Please help!

After fixing my previouse reply errors (i got rid of the @override of the compareto function) i'm getting another error after trying to run the project:
ActivityManager: Error: Activity class {CallLogDisplayer/CallLogDisplayer.CallLogDisplayer} does not exist.

Please help

Hello alonav,

btw: you should work with JDK 1.6 instead of 1.5 !

You need to adopt the AndroidManifest.xml-File:

Hi again,

I updated the JDK to 1.6 & configured it in eclipse

the problem remains the same:
my package in XML file is package="CallLogDisplayer">

I can't write "class" like you wrote - i have an error on that
<activity android:name=".CallLogDisplayer" android:label="@string/app_name">

i can't write android:value either
so i wrote:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

I think the most effiective way to show the missed calls is to initiate the recent call application of android.

There are a table named calls in the contacts database and the calllog is a content provider named content.provider.calllog.calls.

Maybe a effective way is like below:

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.VIEW_ACTION);
i.setData(new ContentURI("content://xxxxxxxx"));
startActivity(i);

if we can provide the correct uri in setData, maybe we can show the missed call logs in the recent calls application, right?

The question is: what is the correct uri?

Intent i = new Intent();
i.setAction(Intent.VIEW_ACTION);
i.setData(new ContentURI("content://call_log/calls"));
startActivity(i);

Another question is how to filter the missed call log by the content uri?

problem:

java.lang.SecurityException:
permission

android.permission.READ_CONTACTS required for provider
call_log.

hello,plusminus
How to apply ScrollView to your IconifiedList
i try it like this in layout.xml and init the list in Activity's onCreate function
<ScrollView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView android:id="@+id/android:list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
</ScrollView>
But i got an error:list views can't have unspecified size
can you help me to see it,thanks

what is the <action> for Listening Call Log change event ??

i simply want to access call log in back end app ...

thank u in advance .......

I've been stuck on this for hours. I'm new to Java and Android. I'd like to make an app that displays a list of missed calls (for personal purposes). I tried to implement this code but have had no luck. I even built the package with the example names. These are the errors I receive:

DateUtils cannot be resolved
R.drawable.in cannot be resolved
R.drawable.missed cannot be resolved
R.drawable.out cannot be resolved
The import android.util.DateUtils cannot be resolved
The method first() is undefined for the type Cursor
The method next() is undefined for the type Cursor
The method isSelectable(int) is undefined for the type BaseAdapter
The method compareTo(IconifiedText) of type IconifiedText must override a superclass method

I literally have all of the same code and files from this tutorial and the IconifiedText tutorial in my package.

Please help! Anyone

I really don't know what I'm doing, so I wouldn't suggest following my instruction unless verified by someone else:

I have removed all of the errors in Osborns code, and I can actually try out the app now (yay!), but alas, it does nothing. I'm going to learn to debug and report back. But in the mean time, figured I'd share how I got it 'working'.

Okay, so I removed the DateUtils stuff altogether. Couldn't figure it out.
My mistake - forgot to copy the icons to 'res/layout' (r.drawables fixed)
first() should be isFirst()
next() should be moveToNext()
Remove the "super" from in front of isSelectable (replace with "this")
remove @Override for IconifiedText

I got it working!

using all of my corrections from above, EXCEPT:

isFirst() should be moveToFirst()

Now, if anyone out there can a) give a hint as to how to further customize the views in the iconified list, or b) give an updated example with XML layout, that would be great.

Thanks

android.util.DateUtils is deprecated.

Does anybody have a good solution to replace:



I tried:



and



But this makes the app take a long time to load. This (loading) issue may be due to factors, other than using DateUtils and DateFormat - but I'm not sure. Any help or hints on speeding up Date parsing (or perhaps making it happen after the list fully loads) would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
