How to press Save Contact Button Programmatically


I Have code which takes my to the save contact screen, fills the details i need, however i need it to now just automatically press save contact too. Does anyone know how? Or if it is even possible.

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        Intent contactIntent = new Intent(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.ACTION);
        contactIntent.setType(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_TYPE);

        contactIntent
                .putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, "Contact Name")
                .putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE, "123456789");

        startActivityForResult(contactIntent, 1);

    }
    @Override
    protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent intent) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, intent);

        if (requestCode == 1)
        {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Added Contact", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_CANCELED) {
                Toast.makeText(this, "Cancelled Added Contact", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
            }
        }
    }

}

Solution

  • You can use button.performClick(). If you need demonstrate that button was clicked you can use my sample:

    class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
        @SuppressLint("ClickableViewAccessibility")
        override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
            setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)
    
            val button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button)
            // this code demonstrate success work
            button.setOnClickListener {
                Toast.makeText(this, "event occurred", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
            }
    
            // create event with your params
            var ev = MotionEvent.obtain(1L, System.currentTimeMillis(),0, button.x, button.y, 0)
    
    
            val b2 = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button2)
            b2.setOnClickListener {
                button.onTouchEvent(ev)
            }
        }
    }
