Insert contact in Android with ContactsContract

Question

I am trying to add a new contact to the Android 2.2 contacts directly.

//this code doesn\'t work    
ContentValues cv=new ContentValues();
c         


        

Answer 1

ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(People.NAME, e1.getText().toString());

// e1.getText().tostring() is Contact name 

Uri u =    getContentResolver().insert(People.CONTENT_URI, cv);

Uri pathu = Uri.withAppendedPath(u, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);    

cv.clear();

cv.put(People.NUMBER, e2.getText().toString());

// e2.getText().tostring() is Contact number

getContentResolver().insert(pathu, cv);

Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Contact Added",Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
