Enter contact data from the app

Question

I would like to know if it is possible to insert some data in the phone contact, for example e-mail. Exemplifying: When selecting a contact, from the application, when returning to Activity, is asked to enter the email and this stay recorded in the contact, from the phone.

Is this possible? If so, is there an example?

Thank you.

You can use the following approach:

ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
        ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
                .newInsert(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, null)
                .withValue(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, null)
                .build());

        ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
                .newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
                .withValue(
                        ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
                .withValue(
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME,
                        edtNome.getEditText().getText().toString()).build());

        ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
                .newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
                .withValue(
                        ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
                .withValue(
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.ADDRESS,
                        edtEmail.getEditText().getText().toString()).build());

        ops.add(ContentProviderOperation
                .newInsert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
                .withValueBackReference(ContactsContract.Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, 0)
                .withValue(
                        ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE,
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
                .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
                        edtTelefone.getEditText().getText().toString())
                .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE).build());

        try {
            ContentProviderResult[] contentProviderResult = contentResolver.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
            if (contentProviderResult[0].uri == null) {
                throw new Exception("Erro ao incluir usuário");
            } else {
                new SnackBar.Builder(this)
                        .withMessage("Usuário incluído aos contatos com sucesso!")
                        .withStyle(SnackBar.Style.DEFAULT)
                        .withDuration((short) 3000)
                        .show();
            }
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

You have to pass Contact_id as a parameter to know that it is an edit, if it is an inclusion, it will go with 0.
