problems with the old and new Contact API

Question

here's a few things i couldn't figure out and could find anyone else posting them in the discussion:

1. In the new API

ContactsContract.AggregationExceptions table does not really work for me:

when I try to insert a row into the table, it gives me this error:

07-13 14:20:09.399: ERROR/XXXXX(3074): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: URI: content://com.android.contacts/aggregation_exceptions, calling user: ............

my code here:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();

values.put(AggregationExceptions.RAW_CONTACT_ID1, 

String.valueOf(oldRawContactId)); 

values.put(AggregationExceptions.RAW_CONTACT_ID2, 

String.valueOf(newRawContactId)); 

values.put(AggregationExceptions.TYPE, AggregationExceptions.TYPE_KEEP_TOGETHER); 

mContentResolver.insert(AggregationExceptions.CONTENT_URI, values); 

and I'm sure the two raw contact id exists.

2.in the old API:

when I create a group in Contact book, the name of the group is not shown(or not shown correctly)

here's the code:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); 

values.put(Contacts.Groups.SHOULD_SYNC, 1); 

values.put(Contacts.Groups.SYSTEM_ID, mGroupID); 

values.put(Contacts.Groups.NAME, mGroupTitle); 

mContentResolver.insert(Contacts.Groups.CONTENT_URI, values); 

3.in the old API:

when I insert a custom IM contact method for a contact, the data is inserted and shown correctly, but user cannot edit the contact using the default contact app any more. If I remove the contact method, user can edit the contact again.

here's the code for inserting the contact method:

ContentValues values = new ContentValues(); 

values.put(ContactMethods.PERSON_ID, newContactId); 

values.put(ContactMethods.KIND, Contacts.KIND_IM); 

values.put(ContactMethods.TYPE, ContactMethods.TYPE_CUSTOM); 

values.put(ContactMethods.AUX_DATA, ContactMethods.encodeCustomImProtocol(MYIM_PROTOCOL)); 

values.put(ContactMethods.DATA, buddyId); 

values.put(ContactMethods.ISPRIMARY, 0); 

values.put(ContactMethods.LABEL, IM_LABEL); 

mContentResolver.insert(ContactMethods.CONTENT_URI, values);
