Hi ,
In android2.1 contacts app no provision to edit other fields
except name and photo details for custom sync accounts.It may
intentional in android 2.1 contacts b'coz in ExternalSource.java
inflate photo and name is adding by "new DataKind(String mimeType,
int titleRes, int iconRes, int weight, boolean editable) "
constructor where editable is passing true, and for contacts.xml
DataKind is adding by default constructor therefore in that case
editable default is false and in ContactEditorView.java "if (!
kind.editable) continue;" will skip add the edit view for custom
Datakind. In case of GmailSource and ExchangeSource all datakind are
adding by the "new DataKind(String mimeType, int titleRes, int
iconRes, int weight, boolean editable) " constructor by passing
editable as true.
Please let us know if anybody found solution for this. Any
help would be highly appreciated.
