update contact details on Android
- by frieza
I would like my code to update contact details (like name, phone number, email, organization details, etc) in the android contact book. I was successful in modifying a few (name, phone number and email to be specific) but not all.
Whenever I try to update the organization details (Contacts.Organizations.COMPANY and Contacts.Organizations.TITLE) for a contact my app throws an exception java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Cannot update URL: content://contacts/people/69/organizations/69
the code snippet is as follows:
Uri baseUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, 69);
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c = this.getContentResolver().query(uri,
new String[] { Contacts.Organizations._ID, Contacts.Organizations.COMPANY,Contacts.Organizations.TITLE},
null, null, null);
if(c.getCount() > 0) {
uri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(uri, c.getString(0));
ContentValues val1 = new ContentValues();
val1.put(Contacts.Organizations.COMPANY, "arw");
val1.put(Contacts.Organizations.TYPE, Contacts.Organizations.TYPE_WORK);
val1.put(Contacts.Organizations.TITLE, "abcdef");
this.getContentResolver().insert(uri, val1);
