Intent not passed from contacts app

Question

I am developing android app where I need to add custom row in particular contacts of my app.Till now I am able to add row in my contact but when I click on that row it does not open my application instead it show toast something like this: "No application found to handle this action".

I googled it a lot but no luck.

Here is my code: Method to add custom row in specific contact:

private void addContact(Account account, ContactDTO dto) {
        Log.e("addContact", "dto : " + dto.displayName + " & dto : " + dto.contactID);
        Log.e("addContact", "account.name : " + account.name + " & account.type : " + account.type);
        ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> operationList = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();

        ContentProviderOperation.Builder builder = ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI);
        builder.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, account.name);
        builder.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, account.type);
        builder.withValue(RawContacts.SYNC1, dto.displayName);
        operationList.add(builder.build());

        builder = ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI);
        builder.withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0);
        builder.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, getResources().getString(R.string.mimeType));
        builder.withValue(Data.DATA1, dto.displayName);
        builder.withValue(Data.DATA2, dto.phoneNo);
        builder.withValue(Data.DATA3, "View App");
        operationList.add(builder.build());

        operationList.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(AggregationExceptions.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValue(AggregationExceptions.TYPE, AggregationExceptions.TYPE_KEEP_TOGETHER)
                .withValueBackReference(AggregationExceptions.RAW_CONTACT_ID1, 0)
                .withValue(AggregationExceptions.RAW_CONTACT_ID2, dto.contactID)
                .withValue(AggregationExceptions.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, getResources().getString(R.string.mimeType))
                .build());
        try {
            mContentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, operationList);
        } catch (OperationApplicationException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (RemoteException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

That's it. Please let me know where I am going wrong. Above code will add custom row in contact without application icon and by clicking on that row it will show a toast and will not open my application.

I was having the same issue in marshmallow devices. The only thing which worked was to change the mimeType.

Try changing your mimeType from

<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/fm.last.android.sync.login" />

to

<data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.fm.last.android.sync.login.profile" />

Do this change wherever you have used.
