[android-developers] specify account for ContactsContract editor

From my app, I want to invoke the Contacts editor to allow the user to add a new contact. I want to find a way for the app to pass to the editor an account to be used. How can this be done?

I have not found any documentation on how to do this. I did find some code on github which shows a contact editor retrieving account info (see ContactEditorActivity). It calls

  getParcelable(Intents.Insert.ACCOUNT);

 

I think this must be deprecated code though, as I can't find the value Intents.Insert.ACCOUNT anywhere in the references.

 

Overall, my code for invoking the editor is working; here's an extract:

 

  Intent intent = new Intent();    intent.setAction (Intent.ACTION_INSERT);    intent.setData (ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);    intent.putExtra (ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, name);    ... "put" other values ...    startActivityForResult (intent, ACTIVITY_REQUEST_FULL_EDIT);

 

Thanks.
