Corporate Addressbook (v. 2.0.7) Разработано Vivek M Iyer |
Want to lookup your colleague's information in Exchange but find your Android phone lacking?
Unfortunately the Global Address List (GAL) lookup currently available in Android is limited in functionality. It only looks up email addresses and does not return anything more. This could be frustrating when you are trying to use your phone to look up your colleague's phone number or office location.
This application looks up the GAL contact database, and returns ALL data corresponding to the contact that is available on the server. It also allows you to save the contact information retrieved to your phone for easy access.
This app supports GAL lookups on
- Exchange 2003
- Exchange 2007
- Exchange 2010
- Google Apps for Business/Education
- Zimbra
Thanks to the people assisting with translations:
- jgoldhammer (DE)
- hourglass69 (FR)
This app is NOT ad-supported and is completely free and open-source.

FAQ
- Why does the app need so many permissions?
Once the app looks up a name, there are links next to the phone numbers that allow you to call or send a text to the number. In order to make these links work, the app needs the permissions to make calls and send text messages. Also in order to save the search results to your address book, the app needs to be able to access the accounts on your device and add contacts to the accounts.
- Is this app ad supported or paid?
Nopes, the app is completely free (both like beer and speech). There are no ads, and the source code is available on Google Code (http://code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/).
- Why are you asking for my credentials? Are you trying to steal my identity
Unfortunately there is no way to access your account information that is configured on your device. The information you enter in the app stays on the device. Please feel free to audit the code if you are still worried.
- This doesn't work, how can I report an issue?
Please feel free to email me, or report an issue at http://code.google.com/p/corporateaddressbook/issues/list
- Why is the app not available in my language?
The developers are, unfortunately, not versed in several languages - but you can help! Please join the translatioon effort at http://crowdin.net/project/corporate-addressbook/.

For example, in my organization, many times I look at the address field since we have multiple offices in same city. Couple of other fields I look at is Manager, Fax, Seat Number etc., SHOW ALL FIELDS |
|
[2013-05-26] A Google User: Excellent App !!! Does what it says. Fetches all the necessary details from the directory. Very useful app. |

|

|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Fast and handy This is great app. I have been searching for some application to fetch GAL contacts as the in built app in Android 2.1 is not fetching all the details of contact. But this is one stop solution to that problem. Very fast and handy. Definitely a must download..... |
|
[2013-01-10] A Google User: Love this Very useful for looking up employees while on the road. |
|
[2013-01-03] A Google User: Irrelevant app! This functionality is built into Android contacts so no need to this |

[2012-12-10] A Google User: SUPERB Perfect application..This one thing was missing from my phone.This app has made my Android phone complete.Feeling proud that an Indian has made such a great application.Keep it up Mr Iyer... |
|
[2012-12-09] A Google User: Great application, missing one feature The application works great, but I'm missing one (huge) feature that I couldn't find in any other application. If you could make the application visible as "Account" at android system and this way I could view the Corporate Contacts on my OS application "Contacts" it would be great. Every x time to sync the contacts to the device, and visible to contacts. Other that that, great application. |
|

[2012-11-20] A Google User: Much less Delivers less than expected at a high security risk. |
|
[2012-11-20] A Google User: A massive help especially in big companies I work for a large Fortune 500 company and locating the correct email address was a major pain while composing emails. Corporate Addressbook has made life so much easier. Quick, simple and free - the 3 words that together meand app nirvana for an Indian. Looking forward to many more useful apps from you Machaa! |

[2012-11-05] A Google User: ? Corporate address book has encountered and error that it cannot fix please contact the developers (un handled error) |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Almost perfect Does exactly what it says it does. Worked easily and seamlessly. My only complaint is that it doesn't integrate with my normal phobenook and contacts. If it integrated with my dialer, it would be five stars |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: ¹ One of the best exchange look up software. |
|
[2012-11-04] A Google User: Great Fantastic! |

|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Love this! This app saved my Galaxy SIII This app saved me from returning my Galaxy SIII. Recently I bought the Galaxy SIII (switched from iPhone 4) and to my horror I found that Android does not have Corporate Exchange contact search. I have used this feature like crazy - I never used to save my colleagues phone numbers in my device since they are available in exchange and could pulled up easily using iPhone contact search. At one point I thought of returning the phone I like so much. After some searching I found this app and it is a huge help. Now I can search my office directory without any issues. Thank you! |
|
[2012-10-26] A Google User: Lovely Dunno why this isn't built into mail apps. Would LOVE to see it handle multiple accounts. Maybe an option to use the Android accounts already set up? |
|
[2012-10-23] A Google User: Uzair Kindly include "Reporting to" and "Address" field. Then I am sure no one gonna download anyother app. |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: captain after the last update,it just stopped working. NOT WORKING !! |
|
[2012-10-15] A Google User: Well done. . .Thanks! Does what it says - give you access to your global directory with links to contact. Easy set up, nice UI. I would love to see multiple Exchange accounts capability since I have more than one account. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Nice and efficient app Nice, clean and efficient app. Works fast, and does not use too much network bandwidth. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Extremely useful! Simple interface but does the job extremely well! |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: A must install App for Exchange users |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Crash city on table even with today's update. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Lifesaver New version: nice UI face lift. Absolutely essential lifesaver app for anyone on exchange. Works perfectly on my Galaxy Note. Thank you Vivek. Would like to buy you a drink if we ever meet. |
|
[2012-10-13] A Google User: Excellent ! |
|
[2012-10-11] A Google User: Screen Rotation loses search results Search results in portrait mode are lost when screen is tilted to landscape and vise versa.. please fix this glitch otherwise perfect app |
|
[2012-10-08] A Google User: Finally working This app never worked for me until this update.results seem to be fine... |
|
[2012-10-05] A Google User: Do not like new format. I have use menu button to login everytime or use search function. Not user friendly like the old version. |
|
[2012-10-03] A Google User: Update is no good at all Since the most recent update I have to go to settings each time to validate the account, otherwise the search results in zero results. This is not user friendly at all. Previous version was slow but just worked all the time. Is this a bug? |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Very handy Works great, Samsung Droid Charge, Exchange 2010. Thank you! Lifesaver for road warrior with 2,000+ user corp address book. |
|
[2012-09-30] A Google User: Extreamly usefull app. Like the old gui better. New update slower at retreiving data |
|
[2012-09-28] A Google User: Stopped working after UI update Now it returns a 501 when searching for a contact. Used to work great. Exchange 2010. |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Amazing new look! Exactly the features I was looking for! |
|
[2012-09-25] A Google User: Great little app |
|
[2012-09-24] A Google User: Excellent Works well, makes looking up people a breeze. The sort of app that does Open Source software proud. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Dependable, very good Works great for quickly getting new contacts from inside the corp into your list. Very nice. |
|
[2012-09-23] A Google User: Can't be any better Has all functions that missing on android original contacts. Many thanks to developers! |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: very handy very handy app.. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Save is Back! Giving back 5 star. Great response from dev. Definitely a great app! |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Excelent! Greay app! |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: It wasn't broke.. But after a recent update, it has a less attractive look and it is now case - sensitive, I think. Which makes it less easy to use. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Save contact Excellent app and a true life saver from time to time. Would get 5 stars if the save contact option wasn't removed.. Thanks!!! Update: Save contact added! |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Very useful and plain I don't need this app all that often, but when I do it serves me well. |
|
[2012-09-22] A Google User: Just beautiful This app was functional in last major version. But it that and more now. It is beautiful. Kudos, great work. |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Awesome and Free? This has to be just exactly what corporate users need. A simple lean app that does exactly what you need when looking up peoples contact on the Corporate Exchange Server. Many thanks |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Save Contact Function Has Disappeared! Absolutely essential app looks nicer, but without this feature it becomes less useful. |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: "Save" is still there For those who lost the ability to Save contacts, it can be found if tap on a small contact picture (grey buddy) on the search results screen. It does not work if a contract is open, just from the list of results. |
|
[2012-09-21] A Google User: Parker Great work.keep it up. |
|
[2012-09-20] A Google User: Great app! Very useful. |
|
[2012-09-18] A Google User: Works Very Well Does what it says. Puts the capabilities of Outlook for Windows on the Android. Much less need for a Windows laptop. |
|
[2012-09-11] A Google User: Best App Of all the various apps I've seen in the market, this one is simplest, safest and usegul one. DOES NOT REQUEST UNWANTED PERMISSIONS, is light weight and very well done. Thanks Vivek... Hope to see more of such utility apps from you... |
|
[2012-09-07] A Google User: Only one flaw found Good app, though would like to be able to add more than one exchange server |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Awesome Finaly got what i need... Thanx alot |
|
[2012-09-05] A Google User: Works, but sometimes finicky Sometimes after changing password (forced by corporate IT), addressbook will give an XML error. It doesn't seem to matter how many times the password is re-entered, error always occurs. The fix is to "clear application data" then re enter account. |
|
[2012-09-02] A Google User: Nice app Nice app. ..keep up the good work |
|
[2012-08-29] A Google User: A Could not connect to exchange. |
