iam adding a contact to the device using this code
long Contact_Id = 100;
ContentValues pCV =new ContentValues();
pCV.put(Contacts.People.NAME, "test");
pCV.put(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, Contact_Id);
Uri newContactUri = insertContentValues(cResolver,
Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, pCV);
i want to add this contact to a certain Account. iam using this code below
ContentResolver cResolver = context.getContentResolver();
cResolver.insert(uri, ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
getAccountType());
public ContentValues getAccountType() {
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, "com.sonyericsson.localcontacts");
cv.put(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, "Phone contacts");
return cv;
}
this code actually is adding a new contact to the "Phone contacts" Account. but i want to add the contact that i added above ("test") to be added to the "Phone contacts". how can i do so?
After searching I have found that the best way to insert a Contact to the Local Phone contacts is to assign the ACCOUNT_TYPE
, ACCOUNT_NAME
to null
take a look at this Link
