Reuse default android contact search in 3rd party application - Possible?
<p>At the moment I am trying to evaluate if it is possible to reuse the android contact search in a 3rd party application. </p>

<p>I got the problem that I have to implement a contact list/picker including a filtering possibility for the contacts list. That means that the standard android picker opened by an intent does not help me. So I decided to implement the list/picker on my own which is not that difficult. But I need to be able to offer the android search dialog in my own implementation as well.</p>

<p>So is it possible to reuse the standard contact search mechanism in an own application? (the contact search available e.g. in the default contact list) Or do I have to implement this one on my own? </p>

<p>Thank you very much for helping me out!</p>
