Re: [android-developers] Re: What is the URI for the Contacts content provider on Samsung phones? ActivityNotFoundException:

The code appears to be correct - it is supposed to work on any Android phone :-(

However, calling it for result does not really make sense.  It is supposed to launch the activity and that's that - no result will be returned.

If you need to user to pick a contact from the list, do this instead:

new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI)

My guess is that it is the non-Samsung phones that are doing something
non-standard, something you cannot rely on. For as I read your code,
you are trying to view not just a contact, but an entire contact
database. I don't think Android guarantees that that Action is
supported on the entire database.

Try appending a specific ID to the Uri.
