How do you get Android Intent for showing "QuickContact"?

I'm working on my first Android application, and am trying to get an Intent for the QuickContact panel. Somewhere I had found mention of the method QuickContact.getQuickContactIntent(...). But when I try to use it, it tells me that it is undefined for the type QuickContact. After googling for s开发者_C百科everal days, I find a bunch of pages using it in code, but nothing about how to use it or what imports are necessary or anything. So how do I use this method? I need to get the Intent used to launch the panel.

I've included the following import in my file:

import android.provider.ContactsContract.QuickContact;

Alternatively, what other method could I use to get a QuickContact intent for passing to something expecting an intent? I am looking to pass the intent back in the cursor for a LiveFolder provider.

I am developing against the Google APIs Level 9, platform number 2.3.1. Thanks!

Use the widget onUpdate() and onRecieve() events to communicate with the RemoteView like explained here. The documented source of that discussion is here if you want some reading material. I can't begin to assume why you're trying to get the intent, or how you initially created the ContactContract.QuickContact object you're referring to. Little more information might get a few more views, and probably alternate solutions; so if this doesn't help consider posting a bit more info.

Well, the way I got this to work was to instead abandon the idea of using LiveFolders, and write my own "folder" dialog, to which I can add actual QuickContactBadge widgets using an adapter of my own devising.
