First, I did specify the permission to write contacts and read contacts in the manifest file.
Here's the code that gets executed for the deletion of a contact: case R.id.menu_delete_contact: Intent intent_delete = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DELETE, mContactUri); intent_delete.putExtra("finishActivityOnSaveCompleted", true); // Start the edit activity startActivity(intent_delete); return true; Also note that mContactUri is valid, because I have another intent for editing the contact and it works. What could possible be the problem? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
