How to get protocol name of an IM

[tahmi...@gmail.com]

I am trying to get all IM from contact in android device.

To add this in vcard I have to know the protocol name. For example...

Impp impp = new Impp("aim:joh...@aol.com");
vcard.addImpp(impp);

But I cannot get the names of the protocol.

String imName = imCur.getString(imCur .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.DATA));

String imType = imCur.getString(imCur .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Im.PROTOCOL));

Here Im.PROTOCOL gives me some integer value for IMs... like 0, 1, 2

so i am trying to do it like this..

int imtypeInt = Integer.parseInt(imType);
String typeStr = "";

switch (imtypeInt) {
case Im.PROTOCOL_AIM:
typeStr = "aim";
break;
case Im.PROTOCOL_MSN:
typeStr = "msn";
break;
case Im.PROTOCOL_YAHOO:
typeStr = "";
break;
case Im.PROTOCOL_SKYPE:

break;
etc......

But I dont know all the protocol names of the IMs. How can I get them.

And is my approach is right?

please help...

Hello,

Here you go! :)

• aim - Im.PROTOCOL_AIM
  
• icq - Im.PROTOCOL_ICQ
  
• msn - Im.PROTOCOL_MSN
  
• ymsgr - Im.PROTOCOL_YAHOO
  
• skype - Im.PROTOCOL_SKYPE
  

These are the only ones that I know of. :(

Mike
