Unable to embed Android contacts in Android software

Question

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 3) .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "999999999") .withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM) .withValue(Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, "hhhhhhh") .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, " [e-mail] ") .build()); ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 4) .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "999999999") .withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM) .withValue(Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, "hhhlllllllllll") .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, " [e-mail] ") .build()); try { cr.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); } catch (RemoteException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } catch (OperationApplicationException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); } 

I added permission <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/> .

I get the following errors:

Try the following:

 private void addContact() { ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> op_list = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>(); op_list.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI) .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null) .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null) //.withValue(RawContacts.AGGREGATION_MODE, RawContacts.AGGREGATION_MODE_DEFAULT) .build()); // first and last names op_list.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0) .withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME, "Second Name") .withValue(StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME, "First Name") .build()); op_list.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0) .withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, "09876543210") .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_HOME) .build()); op_list.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI) .withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0) .withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE) .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, " [e-mail] ") .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE, Email.TYPE_WORK) .build()); try{ ContentProviderResult[] results = getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, op_list); }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } }

Hi, I know him a little late, but it can help you. First of all, you must register the permission in the manifest file as follows:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />

then you can try with the following method:

 private void addContact(String name, String phone) { ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); values.put(Contacts.People.NUMBER, phone); values.put(Contacts.People.TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM); values.put(Contacts.People.LABEL, name); values.put(Contacts.People.NAME, name); Uri dataUri = getContentResolver().insert(Contacts.People.CONTENT_URI, values); Uri updateUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(dataUri, Contacts.People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY); values.clear(); values.put(Contacts.People.Phones.TYPE, Contacts.People.TYPE_MOBILE); values.put(Contacts.People.NUMBER, phone); updateUri = getContentResolver().insert(updateUri, values); Log.d("CONTACT", ""+updateUri); }
