Hi Jonathan,
do you mind sharing your solution with us?
I've managed to change the contacts sync settings like this:
final Uri CONTENT_URI = Uri.parse("content://sync/settings");
//disable google sync
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put("name", "sync_provider_contacts");
values.put("value", false);
context.getContentResolver().insert(CONTENT_URI, values);
//enable google sync
values = new ContentValues();
values.put("name", "sync_provider_contacts");
values.put("value", true);
context.getContentResolver().insert(CONTENT_URI, values);
is there a better way to do it?
