I am writing a demo app in which I want to bootstrap the contacts
database each time I run my app. I have successfully managed to
insert contacts into the people, phones, and contact_methods tables.
I want to delete all rows in each of these tables. I want to do it
through the content resolver as it is a full delete.
Here is my method:
private void deleteAllContacts(ContentResolver contentResolver)
{
contentResolver.delete(Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, null,
null);
contentResolver.delete(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI, null,
null);
contentResolver.delete(Contacts.ContactMethods.CONTENT_URI,
null, null);
}
The rows in the people table get properly deleted (my app has the
proper uses permissions setup). However I am getting an error on the
deletes for the Phones and Contact methods. What am I doing wrong
here? Do I have to loop through each person to delete their related
info?
The log trace:
