Android™ How to Program, Second Edition

Adding a Contact

The first time you run the app, the contact list will be empty and will display No Contacts in the center of the screen. Touch on the action bar to display the screen for adding a new entry. After adding the contact’s information, touch the Save Contact Button to store the contact in the database and return to the app’s main screen. If you choose not to add the contact, you can simply touch the device’s back button to return to the main screen. Add more contacts if you wish. On a tablet, after adding a contact, the new contact’s details will be displayed to the right of the contact list, as in Fig. 8.5.
