    <p>using the API I am trying to create a contact, using the API 2.x and not the old one. Here <a href="http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html</a> it only explains the old API. I haven't found any proper tutorial, example, etc. showing how to create a contact. As far as I have figured out I have to create a raw contact, under raw contacts I found <a href="http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html</a> from there I tried </p> <pre class="lang-java prettyprint-override"><code>ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, accountType); //accountType = "xxxx" values.put(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, accountName); //accountName = "aaaa" Uri rawContactUri = getContentResolver().insert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, values); long rawContactId = ContentUris.parseId(rawContactUri); values.clear(); values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId); values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE); values.put(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, "Mike Sullivan"); getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values); </code></pre> <p>The last line of code shows that "Data.CONTENT_URI" cannot be resolved. It looks a little bit that this line of code is for the 1.6 API, I have changed the Data.CONTENT_URI to ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI. At least the code compiles and executes, but I still don't have a contact Mike Sullivan in my addressbook afterwards. I exchanged now as well the other "Data" with "ContactsContract.Data" still no changes.</p> <p>Has anyone an easy example how to create a person in the addressbook on 2.x?</p> <p>Edit: I made some progress, it looks like that I always need an account on my phone to add a contact. My phone has account type com.google and account name xxxxx@gmail.com. The emulator has nothing. I wonder to which account I have to add my contacts? Can I assume that I ALWAYS have exactly one gmail account and take this one? </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
