Problem adding Contact with new API
- by Mike
Hello,
I am trying to add a new contact to my contact list using the new ContactContract API via my application. I have the following method based on the Contact Manager example on android dev.
private static void addContactCore(Context context, String accountType, String accountName, String name, String phoneNumber, int phoneType) throws RemoteException, OperationApplicationException {
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
//Add contact type
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName)
.build());
//Add contact name
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, (!name.toLowerCase().equals("unavailable") && !name.equals("")) ? name : phoneNumber)
.build());
//Add phone number
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, phoneNumber)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, phoneType)
.build());
//Add contact
context.getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
}
In one example I have the flowing values for the parameters.
accountType:com.google
accountName:(my google account email)
name:Mike
phoneNumber:5555555555
phoneType:3
The call to the function returns normally without any exception being thrown however the contact is no where to be found in the contact manager on my phone. There is also no contact with that information on my phone already. Does anyone have any insight into what I might be doing wrong?
