  1. PONew contacts created using ContactsContract do not appear in Contacts app
    text
    copied!<p>I'm using the following piece of codes to create a new contact. It follow closely the ContactManager example provided by Android. The problem is, the created contacts do not appear in the Contacts app that shipped with Android. Nevertheless, when I load all the contacts from the phonebook, I can see the newly created contacts. </p> <p>private void insertPBEntry() throws RemoteException, OperationApplicationException { </p> <pre><code> ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt; ops = new ArrayList&lt;ContentProviderOperation&gt;(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI) .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, "Account type") .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, "Account name") .build()); 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, "TOTAL_NEW") .build()); 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, "9090") .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,Phone.TYPE_MOBILE) .build()); getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); } </code></pre> <p>I've searched hard but have yet to find the answer. I found one answer suggesting that the problem might have (sth) to do with my strings "Account type" and "Account name". For my case, I do not need to create any account whatsoever. All I want is to add a new contact with a name, email/mail address, phones. </p> <p>Thanks, guys!</p>
