Integrate the Pokemon custom data

This library provides extensions for Pokemon custom data that allows you to read and write pokemon data for all of your contacts. These (optional) extensions live in the customdata-pokemon module.

ℹ️ If you are looking to create your own custom data or get more insight on how the Pokemon custom data was built, read Integrate custom data.

Register the pokemon custom data with the Contacts API instance

You may register the Pokemon custom data when creating the Contacts API instance,

val contactsApi = Contacts(
    context,
    customDataRegistry = CustomDataRegistry().register(
        PokemonRegistration()
    )
)

Or, alternatively after creating the Contacts API instance,

val contactsApi = Contacts(context)
PokemonRegistration().registerTo(contactsApi.customDataRegistry)

Get/add/remove pokemon custom data

Just like regular data kinds, pokemon custom data belong to a RawContact. A RawContact may have 0, 1, or more pokemons.

To get the pokemons of a RawContact,

val pokemonSequence = rawContact.pokemons(contactsApi)
val pokemonList = rawContact.pokemonList(contactsApi)

To get the pokemons of all RawContacts belonging to a Contact,

val pokemonSequence = contact.pokemons(contactsApi)
val pokemonList = contact.pokemonList(contactsApi)

To add a pokemon to a (mutable) RawContact,

mutableRawContact.addPokemon(contacts, mutablePokemon)
// or
mutableRawContact.addPokemon(contacts) {
    name = "ditto"
    nickname = "copy-cat"
    level = 24
    pokeApiId = 132
}

To add a pokemon to a the first RawContact or a Contact,

mutableContact.addPokemon(contacts, mutablePokemon)
// or
mutableContact.addPokemon(contacts) {
    name = "ditto"
    nickname = "copy-cat"
    level = 24
    pokeApiId = 132
}

Use the pokemon custom data in queries, inserts, updates, and deletes

Once you have registered your pokemon custom data with the Contacts API instance, the API instance is now able to perform read and write operations on it.

Syncing pokemon custom data

This library does not provide sync adapters for pokemon custom data. Unless you implement your own sync adapter, pokemon custom data...

  • will NOT be synced across devices
  • will NOT be shown in AOSP and Google Contacts apps, and other Contacts apps that show custom data from other apps

For more info, read Sync contact data across devices.
