How to add contacts programmatically in Android?


I have tried this but Contacts were not added!

ContentResolver cr = this.getContentResolver();
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, "sai1");
cv.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, "9640954335");
cv.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE);
cr.insert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, cv);

Solution

  • Try to use following code

    ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
            int rawContactInsertIndex = ops.size();
    
            Log.i("Line38", "Here");
               ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)  
                            .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_TYPE)          
                            .withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, AccountManager.KEY_ACCOUNT_NAME)          
                            .build());
    
            ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)      
                            .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)      
                            .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)      
                            .withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "u232786seee")
                            .withValue(StructuredName.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP,true)
                            .build());
    
            ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
            .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
            .withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
            .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,"23232343434")
            .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, "4343")
            .build());
    
            ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
            .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactInsertIndex)
            .withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
            .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, "")
            .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE, "")
            .build());
    
            //Log.i("Line43", Data.CONTENT_URI.toString()+" - "+rawContactInsertIndex);
    
            try {
                    getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
            } catch (RemoteException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (OperationApplicationException e) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e.printStackTrace();
            }
    

    And add below permission in manifest file

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
