So I noticed in Eclipse that it said People.NAME (P. 149; Step 4.1 of Select A Contact Example) is deprecated. How would this be reproduced with the correct API. I tried to make heads or tails of ContactContract class to no avail.

So I was looking up something unrelated today, and found List3.java which has an answer to my post.

I used the ContactsContract to fix.

Code changes for ContactPickerTester:

• replace People.NAME with ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
• replace Uri.parse("content://contacts/") with ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI

Code changes for ContactPicker:

• don't append "people/" use final Uri data = intent.getData();
• replace People.NAME with ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
• replace "_id" with ContactsContract.Contacts._ID

juniper,

Your fix works but it doesn't call/use ContactPicker.java.
It seems just calls 'contact' in your avd.

I removed 'ContactPicker.java' and its related elements from 'manifest.xml' and it worked as before.

Reto,
Shouldn't you include fix to this issue in 'Errata" ?!
