Thanks for your replay.
Here is the scenario I am following.
First of all, I am getting a curser for the Contact at some particular
Id using this:
contactCursor =
getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.Contacts._ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
Now I need to update the GIVEN_NAME and FAMILY_NAME of this contact.
For that, What Id I have to pass in the withSelection(String,
String[]) method along with Data.CONTACT_ID ?
I have tried by getting RAW_DATA_ID but no success.
Please help me.
