[android-beginners] Query on committing changes to content providers

2010-01-11 Thread Kowsh
Hi,

I am trying to write a simple app for my G1 phone that runs Android
1.6. The app should be able to access and modify the Contacts list at
runtime.

I configured my android project in eclipse with API level 4 for 1.6. I
set read and write user permissions in the android manifest file and
I tried using the following code to commit changes to the Contacts
list in the onCreate(...) method of my Activitiy class :

public class GolfScore extends Activity {
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

   ContentValues values = new ContentValues();

//Set NAME for new contact
values.put(People.NAME, John Mogambo);
//Add contact to 'Favourites' list
values.put(People.STARRED, 1);

//Commit changes
ContentResolver contRes= getContentResolver();
contRes.insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);
  }
}


I find that when I minimise my app at runtime in the emulator and open
the contacts app, the new contact : John Mogambo has been added to
Favourites list alone. It doesnt figure in the main list of
contacts.

I would be grateful if somebody could point out whats missing in my
code.


Thanks,
Kowshik
