Question
hi im trying to add a phone number to an existing contact on android 2.1. Im currently using:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '1'";
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,null, selection, null,ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME+" COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {
cursor.moveToPosition(oldcontactid);
contactid = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
if (Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",new String[]{contactid}, null);
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
values.put(Phone.NUMBER,pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)));
values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_MOBILE);
}
pCur.close();
}
}
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Phone.CONTENT_URI, values);
but i get an error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown uri: content://com.android.contacts/data/phones
how would i be able to fix this?
thanks for any help, ng93
OTHER TIPS
Insert into Data.CONTENT_URI
instead of Phone.CONTENT_URI
also insert the Data.MIMETYPE
column with Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
.
Have you set the correct permissions in the AndroidManifest.xml? As far as I know the access to the personal information (contacts) is restricted by default.
see here for more about the permission system in android
You also might want to check your installed apps vs program memory. My Droid Eris worked fine on contacts and from just about any contacts aware application, too.
Until I went past some point of memory load. VZW support 1st level did me no good, I had to insist on 2nd level support. Finally got an answer from someone who knew his spinach. He told be that I had too many apps on the phone, and that this was a known problem.
Still have not cut my working set down enough to get contact edit working :-(
