The account does not appear in the application’s contact settings on the device from HTC

I am writing my own SyncAdapter based on an example in the SDK. It should add contacts from an external source, and it works great in a device emulator. But when I launch it on HTC Desire, I can not see my account in contacts-> Display options

I also tried the Google example on Desire and could not see them on this list. Does anyone know a solution?

I solve it by making my account visible by default.

ContentProviderClient client = getContentResolver().acquireContentProviderClient(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY_URI); ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(ContactsContract.Settings.ACCOUNT_NAME, account.name); values.put(ContactsContract.Settings.ACCOUNT_TYPE, account.type); values.put(ContactsContract.Settings.UNGROUPED_VISIBLE, true); try { client.insert(Settings.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon().appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER, "true").build(), values); } catch (RemoteException e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

after this account is visible by default, and you can see it in the list of accounts in contacts

In order for your account to be visible in the "Display Settings" of the standard Contacts application, you must have a SyncAdapter in your application, and this is the metadata specified in syncadapter.xml as described here .

In addition, you must specify the use of android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS permission in AndroidManifest.xml .

UNGROUPED_VISIBLE makes it visible only to the list of contact groups.
