Reading Android Contacts in Flex?

Question

Android is storing his contacts here:

data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts.db

Anyone have code to access the Android Contacts.db with Adobe Flex?

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. You may not have "rights" to read this file directly from Flex/AIR
2. You need to enable rights access into your air app descriptor

3. You should create / use existing ANE (native extension) for reading contacts list

   • one example is here https://github.com/freshplanet/ContactEditor
