I'm new to java and developing apps, I can't figure out how to add a contact. I'm taking right from the android development website:
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
values.put(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411");
values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM);
values.put(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance");
Uri dataUri = getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values);
My question is: what do you put in the place of rawContactId? Is it supposed to be the name of the contact? I want to move on to the newer way to add contacts below, but I can't even get the "traditional" way to work. Help?
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "1-800-GOOG-411")
.withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM)
.withValue(Phone.LABEL, "free directory assistance")
.build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
