When you navigate to Contacts->[menu]->Accounts->AddAccount or Settings->Accounts & sync->Add Account does your custom account type appear? If not, this is probably your next milestone. I achieved this by reading the code in packages/apps/Email/, which is a far cry from a gentle introduction to this stuff. Also, the actual Account Settings activity in packages/providers/GoogleSubscribedFeedsProvider/ plays a pivotal role in all of this. (You'd think that activity would be in a more prominent place like in the actual Settings app.) > I'm using the 2.0.1 emulator, not a real phone, I don't know if this > makes a difference (but account_type is empty on the database). I'm using the head of the public repo, not the SDK. I'm not sure if there's any differences.
