Modify native contact programmatically

Question

I am trying to change the contact name and last name programmatically. The code snippet I used to complete the job is as follows:

operations.add( ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate( Data.CONTENT_URI ) .withSelection( RawContacts._ID + "=?", new String[] { String.valueOf( mSmartphoneContactKey) } ) .withValue( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, mContactName.getEditableText().toString() ) .withValue( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME, mContactLastName.getEditableText().toString() ) .build() ); 

mSmartphoneContactKey populated with data contained in a column

 ContactsContract.Contacts._ID 

which sits in my projection array when I read contacts using a content provider.

The problem is that for some contacts, the first and last name does not change, but the type of phone changes. In fact, I have no information about the reason. Any advice is appreciated.

I read further the documentation that uses the data table that I should use. I changed the code as below ... still not working

  operations.add( ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate( Data.CONTENT_URI ) .withSelection( Data._ID + " = ? AND " + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'", new String[] { String.valueOf( mSmartphoneContactId ) } ) .withValue( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, mContactName.getEditableText().toString() ) .withValue( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME, mContactLastName.getEditableText().toString() ) .build() ); 

Please help me!

Well decided! Invalid identifier. You need to get the identifier according to the data from the DATA table.
