- Attributes
Remarks
Takes as input a data URI with a mailto: or tel: scheme. If a single contact exists with the given data it will be shown. If no contact exists, a dialog will ask the user if they want to create a new contact with the provided details filled in. If multiple contacts share the data the user will be prompted to pick which contact they want to view.
For mailto: URIs, the scheme specific portion must be a raw email address, such as one built using Uri#fromParts(String, String, String).
For tel: URIs, the scheme specific portion is compared to existing numbers using the standard caller ID lookup algorithm. The number must be properly encoded, for example using Uri#fromParts(String, String, String).
Any extras from the Insert class will be passed along to the create activity if there are no contacts to show.
Passing true for the #EXTRA_FORCE_CREATE extra will skip prompting the user when the contact doesn't exist.
