yeah, you are right, i was totally confused...
already found the error myself some time later..
i mixed up contact ID and data-row ID..
volcano-ash seemed to influence me this morning ;)
it now updates correctly using:
oerations.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(
ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI).withSelection(
Data.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] { id }).withValue(
StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, firstName)
.withValue(StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME,
lastName).build());
but thx anyway for your reply! stupid-me! :)
cheers

What's the _id here? It should be the data row id, not the contact id.
Also, you shouldn't specify the mime type in an update statement - it
is not updatable.
Cheers,
Dmitri
