I am trying to write an app that store data for the user for
each contacts he chooses.
I want to add to each user a custom provider (like facebook does)
that on press will open my app and allow the user to review the stored data.
I have created a custom provider following this guide:
http://www.c99.org/2010/01/23/writing-an-android-sync-provider-part-2/
but the custom provider does not appear on my contact list,
I have tried to change my MIME_TYPE to vnd.com.google.cursor.item/contact_user_defined_field
that didnt help either (when using third party app it showed my provider but without my icon)
my contact definition is this:
<ContactsSource xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<ContactsDataKind
android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.MyPackageName.profile"
android:summaryColumn="data2"
android:detailColumn="data3"
android:detailSocialSummary="true" />
</ContactsSource>
and my relevant code is this:
String MIME_TYPE "vnd.android.cursor.item/vnd.MyPackageName.profile";
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
int rawContactInsertIndex =ops.size();//(int)Contact_RAW_ID;
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
.withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME,null )
.build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE,Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(Phone.NUMBER, "9X-XXXXXXXXX")
.build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(Data.RAW_CONTACT_I
