Re: [android-developers] Re: Adding Contacts in Custom account 2.2
I don't think the user experience is that bad with the "standard" solution, which is to display an "Edit this contact" item on the contact view screen. That item has an intent that launches your own custom editor activity, which is not that difficult to build. Yes, it is not completely consistent with the built-in editor, which we will fix in the built-app at some point in the future. I am certain that the "Edit this contact" option is much better than waiting for a long time for the new design to make it in the platform and then wait again for it to trickle to devices in the field.

[android-developers] Re: Adding Contacts in Custom account 2.2
There's an old issue filed for this bug: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5988 You can either supply your own contact editor and supply activities for editing and adding contacts to your account or wait for a fix from Google. The first option results in a very shabby user experience and the second option is not going to happen anytime soon.
