Error inserting account_id=2 contact_id=null _id=824 starred=1 - Batch Adding Contacts - Android

Question

I'm trying to add contacts to the contact list in a batch. I can do it successfully except when I add the Starred field to the batch list. So the problem must be there.

Here is my ArrayList code for the Starred field.

if(starred == true)
{

    operations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValueBackReference(RawContacts._ID, 0)
                .withValue(RawContacts.STARRED, "1")
                .build());
}

And later on I do:

final ContentProviderResult[] result = contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, operations);

if(result.length == operations.size())
{
        Log.d(TAG, "Contact added!");
}

Here is the exception generated. I understand the exception but I don't see where that is happening in the ops.add(...) but it is there for sure, I just can't find it.

EDIT:

This is my first insertion to the ArrayList:

operations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(
                            ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                            .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
                            .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
                            .build());

Answer 1

Solved my problem.

I must have the starred in the first operation.

Like this:

operations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(
                            ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                            .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
                            .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
                            .withValue(RawContacts.STARRED, strStarred)
                            .build());

And remove this:

if(starred == true) {

    operations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValueBackReference(RawContacts._ID, 0)
                .withValue(RawContacts.STARRED, "1")
                .build());
}

Answer 2

On the second line of your error log it states PRIMARY KEY must be unique.

What is your primary key here, and are you sure it is indeed unique?
