Add Skype contact from another android app
Is there any way to add a new contact into Skype application from another app ? For example this is how you call somebody from another app (taken from here: How to video call a user through skype from another android application?):
Intent sky = new Intent("android.intent.action.VIEW");
sky.setData(Uri.parse("skype:" + "UserName"+ "?call&video=true"));
startActivity(sky);
You can run skype uris with that method.
/**
* Initiate the actions encoded in the specified URI.
*/
public void initiateSkypeUri(Context myContext, String mySkypeUri) {
// Make sure the Skype for Android client is installed.
if (!isSkypeClientInstalled(myContext)) {
goToMarket(myContext);
return;
}
// Create the Intent from our Skype URI.
Uri skypeUri = Uri.parse(mySkypeUri);
Intent myIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, skypeUri);
// Restrict the Intent to being handled by the Skype for Android client only.
myIntent.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.skype.raider", "com.skype.raider.Main"));
myIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
// Initiate the Intent. It should never fail because you've already established the
// presence of its handler (although there is an extremely minute window where that
// handler can go away).
myContext.startActivity(myIntent);
return;
}

Unfortunately there are no create contact uri in skype client. But I found create chat like that skype:skype.test.user.1?chat . You can see other uris from there https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/skypeuris/skypeuriapireference
