My application loads/saves contacts, but I am having some confusion
regarding the difference between "unsynched" contacts and those
associate with a Google account.
In the emulator when I create a contact manually the "account" it uses
is "Phone-only (unsynched)". When I read the contacts via
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, I can see the contact I made.
However, when I try to write a contact, the only method I've seen
involves ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, but this requires
an Account as such:
ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE,
account_type)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME,
account_name)
.build()
If I create a contact in this way, it "works" I can not see it in the
native Android Contact application. How can I create a contact that is
unsynched? If I do a similar operation, but using
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI and no Account, I get "Aggregate
contacts are created automatically" error.
Thanks
