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

[Kowshik Prakasam]

Thanks Sreehari.
Hi Sreehari,

Actually that piece of code doesnt work for SDK 1.0 as well.

I sorted out the issue. I had to simply follow the steps explained here :
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/providers/content-providers.html
My bad. I didnt read the doc thoroughly before posting this query.

Thanks,
Kowshik

 Hi,
 I think ur code will work for SDK 1.0 only. For higher version it will
 work by applying some small changes in your code.

 Use

 Contacts.People.createPersonInMyContactsGroup(getContentResolver(),
 values);

 Instead of

 ContentResolver contRes= getContentResolver();
 contRes.insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);

 Hope this will work.

 Thanks,
 SREEHARI

  contRes.insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);
}

  I find that when I minimise my app at runtime in the emulator and open

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

Hi,

work by applying some small changes in your code.

Use

Contacts.People.createPersonInMyContactsGroup(getContentResolver(),
values);

Instead of

 contRes.insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);

Hope this will work.
