Could be intentional. If it is intentional, it's quite the
oversight. Although, IIRC, it was coded up, but the code will never
be reached. Can't remember for sure though.

HCH pretty much hit it on the head. It appears as though there is a
bug (or the last time I checked) that prevents Android from seeing
your edit fields (they just simply skip over them when parsing your
contacts.xml file).
The only part I've gotten to work, which was all I really needed, is

Hi Berto,
do you managed to render the contacts edit fields from a custom
account using the native contacts app? or for contacts view only?

Thanks so much for the link and of course many thanks to the original
poster (Sam Steele). Anyone with android account and syncadapter
questions should read his posts.
My issue now is having the contacts app display and edit the standard

So, it turns out that anything you put into your own ExternalSource
will never get parsed and therefore (theoretically) never show up. Or
am I doing something wrong? The code looks like it will parse only
the information in ContactsDataKind and not the EditField node from
the following:
You could check the Email app - its the current location of the
Exchange ActiveSync SyncAdapter implementation.

Hi everyone,
I encountered an issue while configuring my own account for android
contacts sync. When the user choses to add a new contact to the custom
account, only the name fields and the photo are showed. This behaviour
can be found in the ExternalSource.java android source file.
My question
Hi Brian,
unfortunately I don't have a 2.0 phone, and the emulator does not have
working authenticators.

ContactsContract API. What happens? This I'm not completely clear
on. If you use the RAW_CONTACTS uris, I suppose you [must?]
Hi,
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
thanks for pointer.
