I sometimes want to delete all contacts on my Android phone (to reimport them from a third-party source).

Requirements:

  • Open Source
  • Progress indicator

And as fast as possible, for thousands of contacts.
I don't use sync.

To delete all contacts stored on Android, you can try:

  • turned off sync
  • go to settings> applications> manage applications> Contacts storage>clear data.
  • turned on sync. It should re-synced to Google/GB/etc contacts

    Actually I don't use sync, so the procedure would be even easier, limited to the 2nd bullet item.
