_ID values are typically meant for short-term reference only, such as when referring to an item through Intent.setData(). So, don't trust them to be static and unique. If you're looking for a permanent reference to a contact, use a combination of _SYNC_ACCOUNT and _SYNC_ID, which will uniquely identify each contact. This also applies to any other provider on the system that offers syncing, such as Calendar. -- Jeff Sharkey [email protected] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
