Starred in Android - How do I access this indicator?

[david levinson]

Does anyone know how I can access the indicator on the Gmail contact that is used to not a contact as "Starred in Android"?

Hey Dave,

Unfortunately there is no way to know which contacts have been stared on Android using the API as it appears that the Android contacts application does not save this information in the API (as a gd:extendedProperty).

If your application runs on Android however you should be able to access the on-device database that the contacts Application is using locally. It should contain the starred information, however it would be best to ask for the specifics on an Android specific forum.

Cheers!

Hello David,

The Android Contacts Manager create a new group in your group lists labeled "Starred in Android" (you can see it in the GMail Contacts Manager as well). To retrieve contacts belonging to this group, you will first need to retrieve the group's Atom Id by sending an authorized GET request to:

  https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full

Then look for the group with a title of "Starred in Android". You will need to save the group's Atom Id which looks like:

  http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/userEmail/base/groupId

(with the appropriate values in place of userEmail  and groupId)

You will then be able to retrieve contacts belonging to this group by sending an authorized GET request to this URL:

  https://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/default/full?group=http://www.google.com/m8/feeds/groups/userEmail/base/groupId

(with the appropriate values in place of userEmail  and groupId)

I hope this helps!

Best,

Alain
