Step 1: Launching the Contact Picker

import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts;  
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone;

    Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,

How to show/hide the Android Soft Keyboard

If You need to show or to hide a virtual (soft) keyboard in Android app:
To hide:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.hideSoftInputFromWindow(myEditText.getWindowToken(), 0);

This will force the keyboard to be hidden in all situations. In some cases you will want to pass in InputMethodManager.HIDE_IMPLICIT_ONLY as the second parameter to ensure you only hide the keyboard when the user didn't explicitly force it to appear (by holding down menu).

To show:

InputMethodManager imm = (InputMethodManager)getSystemService(Context.INPUT_METHOD_SERVICE);
imm.showSoftInput(myEditText, 0);

Watch Android Take Over the World

The official Android Developers channel on YouTube has posted a beautiful vizualization of Android activations around the world starting in October, 2008, and progressing through January 2011. Quite impressive to watch -- especially the huge jump in activity when the Droid launched.
The video has no sound, so don't bother checking to see if you have mute on like I did. I'd recommend cuing up some dramatic musicbefore you hit play to enhance the experience.

Today finds us learning of another video which puts the more than 350,000 current daily activations into perspective. Check out the video below for a clever infographic-like take on how Android is quickly becoming the preferred mobile OS around the world.
