I'm working at android 2.1 ContactContract, when I had not set account(for example: gmail account) to android emulator then, new a contact, but could not delete this contact at DB.
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
String[] args = new String[] {id};
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(Data.CONTACT_ID + "=?", args)
.build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + "=?", args)
.build());
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(Contacts.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(Contacts._ID + "=?", args)
.build());
Deleting the contact from RawContacts will delete the data from Data, Contacts table.
ArrayList ops = new ArrayList(); String[] args = new String[] {id};
// if id is raw contact id
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI).withSelection(RawContacts._ID + "=?", args) .build());
OR
// if id is contact id
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(RawContacts.CONTENT_URI).withSelection(RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + "=?", args) .build());
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
public static boolean fullDeleteContactByRawId(String rawId)
{
Uri rawUri = RawContacts.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon().appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER, "true").build();
String where = RawContacts._ID + " = ?";
String[] args = new String[]{rawId};
try
{
ContentManager.delete(rawUri, where, args);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
notice:
After full delete ,this contact can not sync
I use this to delete a phone number from an existing contact, but not the contact itself:
ArrayList ops = new ArrayList();
String[] args = new String[]{
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,
number,
Integer.toString(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MAIN),
raw_contact_id
};
ops.add(
ContentProviderOperation.newDelete(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=? AND "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER + "=? AND "
+ ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + "=? AND "
+ ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + "=?"
, args)
.build());
c.getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
