Following Permission is required for adding and modifying Contact
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
Now this is Utility Function , just copy and paste it anywhere. It will return Contact_ID of newly added Contact
public String addContact(Activity mAcitvity, String name, String address, String number, String mNote,Bitmap mPhoto) {
int contactID = -1;
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
int rawContactID = ops.size();
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert a new raw contact in the table ContactsContract.RawContacts
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null).withValue(RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null).build());
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert display name in the table ContactsContract.Data
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactID)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE).withValue(StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME, name).build());
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert Mobile Number in the table ContactsContract.Data
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactID)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE).withValue(Phone.NUMBER, number)
.withValue(Phone.TYPE, CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE).build());
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert Mobile Number in the table ContactsContract.Data
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactID)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.STREET, address).build());
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert Mobile Number in the table ContactsContract.Data
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactID)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Note.NOTE, mNote).build());
ByteArrayOutputStream stream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
mPhoto.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, stream);
byte[] bytes = stream.toByteArray();
// Adding insert operation to operations list
// to insert Mobile Number in the table ContactsContract.Data
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactID)
.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO, bytes).build());
try {
ContentResolver mResolver = mAcitvity.getContentResolver();
ContentProviderResult[] mlist = mResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
Uri myContactUri = mlist[0].uri;
int lastSlash = myContactUri.toString().lastIndexOf("/");
int length = myContactUri.toString().length();
contactID = Integer.parseInt((String) myContactUri.toString().subSequence(lastSlash + 1, length));
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return String.valueOf(contactID);
}
Now See you can call this function from anywhere with respective values. Pass your own values and Bitmap
addContact(this, "Sammer", "Delhi", "11-9090909", "Going to Meeting", BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.ic_launcher));
See the output of function, this function is tested so do not worry while using
