Android, Accounts and Contacts. Editing contacts

Question

Android

The question is next. There is a manager for synchronizing contacts with the server. When synchronizing for local contacts, it creates its own links to contacts with the account name and its account type in the raw_contacts table. After synchronization, editing even those contacts that were in the phone book is done by its own editor, creating contacts by default too. How is this solved at the OS level and how to make editing and creation happen with the built-in editor?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, it will not work to fully edit a third-party contact with the built-in editor. Google because for all external contacts it only allows you to edit the photo and name. For Google and Exchange accounts, the editor is hardcoded.
There is a very large discussion on this topic code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=5988
There is only one way out at the moment - to implement your own editor and hang it on editing contacts using intent-filter
