I am developing an application that should update many contacts, and I get the following error.
android.content.OperationApplicationException: Too many content provider operations between yield points. The maximum number of operations per current point is 500
I tried to break the contacts into smaller pieces for updating, but I still get the same error. It’s good that now some contacts are updated (previously 0 contacts are updated). Any suggestions that might help me are greatly appreciated.
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI; String selectionUpdate = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID + " = ? AND " + ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? "; int i = 0; int numRowsUpdated = 0; int batchsize = 100; for (EntityPhone ep : eps) { if (ep.isUpdateNumber()) { //update only when checkbox is ticked ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(uri) .withSelection(selectionUpdate, new String[]{ep.getPhoneId(), ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}) .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ep.getPhoneNumberNew()) .build()); i++; if (i % batchsize == 0) { i = 0; ContentProviderResult[] count = contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); if (count != null) { numRowsUpdated += count.length; Log.i(TAG, "batch update success" + count.length); } else { Log.w(TAG, "batch update failed"); } } } } if (i != 0) { ContentProviderResult[] count = contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); }
I looked through past questions, but they are mostly related to inserts, not updates.
The reason I want to update so many records at once is that my application is a “contact number formatter,” which allows the user to easily standardize all the phone numbers on the phone. I can not control the number of records that users want to update in one batch. ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=angel.phoneformat )
