    <p>The Motorola BLUR modifications to contacts have more to do with how accounts are managed on the device and less with changes to the content provider. The real issue when working with a Motorola BLUR device is that you need to set the <code>ACCOUNT_NAME</code> and <code>ACCOUNT_TYPE</code> to a value that plays nice with the device.</p> <p>Motorola isn't the only device for which this is an issue as in my work I have found other devices whose contacts applications don't play nice with records that are added to custom accounts on the device. </p> <p>During setup, you'll have to determine what type of device you are running on and then make a determination of what account you will use to store your contacts. I have found exceptions for the Samsung Galaxy, HTC Sense devices and MOTOBLUR devices for which using a custom contact account doesn't allow you to work with your contacts in the contact application (for example, you can add them, but not edit or are unable to insert new records to your account). </p> <p>I can't share code because it belongs to my work, but I can tell you that if you use the following account for your contacts on MOTOBLUR devices it will work. Motorola devices on Verizon have a backup assistant account that works great and other wise I use the default BLUR account which seems to work well.</p> <p>Look for an account on the device with the type <code>com.motorola.android.buacontactadapter</code> and a name of "Phone" and use that. If that's not present, look for an account of the type <code>com.motorola.blur.service.bsutils.MOTHER_USER_CREDS_TYPE</code> and use that (with whatever its name is) and you'll be all set on Motorola devices.</p> <p>If you share some of your code or a link to the example you referenced, I'd be happy to dive deeper. </p>

    1. COThe example that I used was this one: http://www.c99.org/2010/01/23/writing-an-android-sync-provider-part-2/ I have (happily) found out that on BLUR > 2.2 (gingerbread+) the blur contact app will happily find and work with my v2.x API contacts. Previous versions are still unhappy.

    2. COMotorola learned the error of their ways, recent versions of BLUR (post stable4) will work for you. Unfortunately, they don't update older devices so only time will cure your ills.

    3. COIt seems time has cured this ill. Almost none of my user-base is on <2.2 anymore. I'm going to accept this answer even though I didn't try this approach. Thanks for the effort you put into it.

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.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
