How do I make my Android ContentObserver for ContactsContract detect a added, updated or deleted contact?

Question

I am able to get a generic notification \"that there was a change to the contacts DB\", but I want to know the specific record that was inserted, updated, or deleted. Follo

Answer 1

First of all, you have to register your contentObserver to receive change notification.

Do this by calling :

registerContentObserver();

Here's the specs : registerContetObserver

After than you'll want to notify all the listeners when a modification happens :

contentResolver.notifyChange();

Here's the specs for that one : notifyChange

Hope it helps ;)
