We all know how to add a new contact to our android devices without programming right.
OK that’s a normal man’s use.
But what from a programmer’s view.

This is the sample java code that helps you to add contact programatically.

package com.coderzheaven.pack;

import java.util.ArrayList;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.ContentProviderOperation;
import android.content.ContentValues;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.provider.Contacts.People;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class AddContactDemo extends Activity {
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        addContact("Coderz","1234567890");
        addContact("James","5656215521");
        addContact("John","4545454545");
        addContact("Mary","9632587410");
        addContact("Peter","4561237890");
    }
   private void addContact(String name, String phone) {
        ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
        values.put(People.NUMBER, phone);
        values.put(People.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM);
        values.put(People.LABEL, name);
        values.put(People.NAME, name);
        Uri dataUri = getContentResolver().insert(People.CONTENT_URI, values);
        Uri updateUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(dataUri, People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
        values.clear();
        values.put(People.Phones.TYPE, People.TYPE_MOBILE);
        values.put(People.NUMBER, phone);
        updateUri = getContentResolver().insert(updateUri, values);
      }
}

After running this programs please switch to contacts application on your device to see the result.
