I'm not 100% sure, but i think it's because you passed
Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI instead of creating your own uri which has
an id-segment appended.
The ID is the unique _ID field you have in your phone table.If you
know the _ID you can generate a uri (it's called URI not URL btw :P)
with this line
private void removeContact(Context context, String phone) {
long _id = 2; // Just hardcoding it, in your aplication
you have to get the ID programmatically)
Uri deleteContactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(_id));
context.getContentResolver().delete(deleteContactUri,
null, null);
}
