AssetFileDescriptor fd;
try {
fd = mContext.getContentResolver().openAssetFileDescriptor(uri, "r");
FileInputStream fis = fd.createInputStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[(int) fd.getDeclaredLength()];
fis.read(buf);
String VCard = new String(buf);
String path = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory()
.toString() + File.separator + vfile;
FileOutputStream mFileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(path,true);

How to add / restore contacts from .vcf file programatically in Android?
I want to restore all contacts form that .vcf file in to Android using code.
How to do this?

Actually I also want to do the same and a after a long research finally i got the solution.
Here is the piece of code to restore:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(new File(storage_path+vfile)),"text/x-vcard"); //storage path is path of your vcf file and vFile is name of that file.
startActivity(intent);
Enjoy!!
