trying to update a contact with this code isn't working

I'm trying to use this code to allow a user edit a contact's name and number. I get no errors and when I print nameofcontact and numberofcontact in my log it shows me the latest changes I've made to the name and number of the contact.
But it's not saving to my contacts database. Any ideas what's wrong?
public void editButton(View view) {
// the text in the 'nameofcontact' edittext box, can be modified by the user
contactname = nameofcontact.getText().toString();
// the text in the 'numberofcontact' edittext box, can be modified by the user
contactnumber = numberofcontact.getText().toString();
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
String where = ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME + " = ? AND " +
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ? AND " +
String.valueOf(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE) + " = ? ";
String[] params = new String[] {contactname,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,
String.valueOf(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME)};
Cursor phoneCur = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, where, params, null);
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
// if ( (null == phoneCur) ) {
// createContact(name, phone);
// } else
{
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withSelection(where, params)
.withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DATA, contactnumber)
.build());
}
phoneCur.close();
try {
cr.applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OperationApplicationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println (contactname);
System.out.println (contactnumber);
Toast.makeText(this, "Updated", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}

Database is not retrieving all rows instead getting only unique rows

I am working on a code snippet where i am storing my json encoded data into a txt file,and using following method to separate all parts and adding them into database.
public boolean addAnswersFromJSONArray() {
boolean flag = false;
Answer answer = new Answer();
File sdcard = Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory();
File file = new File(sdcard, "user_live.txt");
FileReader fr;
JsonReader reader;
try {
fr = new FileReader(file);
reader = new JsonReader(fr);
reader.beginArray();
reader.setLenient(true);
while (reader.hasNext()) {
reader.beginObject();
while (reader.hasNext()) {
String name = reader.nextName();
if (name.equals("product_name")) {
answer.setProductName(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("subject")) {
answer.setSubject(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("month")) {
answer.setMonth(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("year")) {
answer.setYear(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("question")) {
answer.setQuestion(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("answer")) {
answer.setAnswer(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("question_no")) {
answer.setQuestion_no(reader.nextString());
} else if (name.equals("marks")) {
answer.setMarks(reader.nextString());
} else {
reader.skipValue();
}
}
answer.save(db);
reader.endObject();
flag = true;
}
reader.endArray();
reader.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
file.delete();
db.close();
}
return flag;
}
and then i am retrieving each fields departments,subjects,month and year,questions,answers,question_no, but while retrieving marks i am getting only unique entries that is 10 and 5....Ideally the size of one set is 18 so i m getting ArrayIndexoutOfBounds Exception.
//database calling part
marks = db.getMarksList(department, subject, month_year);
database method is,
public String[] getMarksList(String department, String subject,
String month_year) {
String month = month_year.split("-")[0];
String year = month_year.split("-")[1];
String whereClause = DEPARTMENT + " = '" + department + "'" + " AND "
+ SUBJECT + " = '" + subject + "' AND " + MONTH + " = '"
+ month + "' AND " + YEAR + " = '" + year + "'";
System.out.println("questions: " + whereClause);
Cursor cursor = db.query(true, "ANSWERS", new String[] { "MARKS" },
whereClause, null, null, null, "DEPARTMENT", null);
String list[] = new String[cursor.getCount()];
int i = 0;
if (cursor != null && cursor.getCount() > 0) {
for (cursor.moveToFirst(); !cursor.isAfterLast(); cursor
.moveToNext()) {
list[i] = new String(cursor.getString(0));
i++;
}
}
return list;
}
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?? Why getting only unique value,I have checked my json result also each row contains marks.

i got the solution for this,
Changed database query and method as following,
public List<Answer> getMarksList(String department, String subject,
String month_year) {
List<Answer> list = new ArrayList<Answer>();
String month = month_year.split("-")[0];
String year = month_year.split("-")[1];
try {
String sql1 = "select all marks from " + TABLE_NAME
+ " where department = '" + department
+ "' AND subject = '" + subject + "' AND month = '" + month
+ "' AND year = '" + year + "';";
SQLiteDatabase db1 = this.getWritableDatabase();
Cursor cursor = db1.rawQuery(sql1, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
do {
Answer a = new Answer();
a.setMarks(cursor.getString(0));
list.add(a);
} while (cursor.moveToNext());
}
} catch (Exception e) {
}
return list;
}
using "all" in query is retrieving all records.

How to edit the nativecontacts fields using contact id

How to edit firstname,surname,mobilenumber,photo,email,address in native contact in android programmatically using contact id. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

on Button click do the following:
Intent in = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT_OR_EDIT);
in.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
startActivityForResult(in,EDIT_CONTACT);
and in onActivityResult Function do this:
case EDIT_CONTACT:

Uri contactData = data.getData();
Cursor cur = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);

adding custom type of number to a contact [Android]

I been working on an app that helps sending sms to your contacts. Everything is great, except that I'm supposed to add a "custom field number" to a contact such as "Work" or "Private". I'd search the web for answers and the ones that are useful for evryone, aren't for me. This is my code:
private void AddCtxtAttribute(int contactID, String contactNumber) {
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ContentProviderOperation.Builder builder = ContentProviderOperation
.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI);
builder.withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, contactID);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.DATA1, contactNumber);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.DATA2, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM);
builder.withValue(ContactsContract.Data.DATA3, "My Custom Label");
ops.add(builder.build());
try {
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
Log.e("RESULT", "Success! " + contactID + " - "
+ contactNumber);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("ERROR", "error : " + e.toString());
} catch (OperationApplicationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
Log.e("ERROR", "error : " + e.toString());
}
}
And it's called:
AddCtxtAttribute(contacto_id, contacto_numero);
where contacto_id and contacto_numero are a int and a String respectively.
The problem is that when I pressed the button, I have the ID (contacto_id) of that contact but it updates other contact. (like the id's don't match) but i've debug it and the id doesn't change.
Can anyone help me with this?

I figured it out!
the problem was that i was using diferent column names and uris in reading the contacts and inserting a new contact number.
I did this:
to query all contacts:
private void llenar_contactos() {
ProgressDialog progress;
lista_contactos_cel_sobrantes = null;
sobrantes = false;
lista_contactos_cel = new ArrayList<HashMap<String, Object>>();
progress = ProgressDialog.show(contactsActivity.this, "",
"Cargando Contactos. Porfavor espere...");
String[] projection = new String[] { Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID,
Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.LABEL };
String selection = Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'";
// ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + "='1'";
String sort_order = "display_name ASC";
Uri mContacts = Data.CONTENT_URI;
// ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor contacts = getContentResolver().query(mContacts, // Contact URI
projection, // Which columns to return
selection, // Which rows to return
null, // Where clause parameters
sort_order // Order by clause
);
total_contactos = contacts.getCount();
if (total_contactos > 0) {
int i = 0;
int multiplo = 0;
int indice_total = 0;
int temp_registros = 0;
String contact_id = "";
String name = "";
String phoneNo = "";
String label = "";
sobrantes = false;
int nameFieldColumnIndex = 0;
while (contacts.moveToNext()) {
nameFieldColumnIndex = contacts.getColumnIndex(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID);
if (nameFieldColumnIndex > -1) {
contact_id = contacts.getString(nameFieldColumnIndex);
}
nameFieldColumnIndex = contacts.getColumnIndex(Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
if (nameFieldColumnIndex > -1) {
name = contacts.getString(nameFieldColumnIndex);
}
nameFieldColumnIndex = contacts.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER);
if (nameFieldColumnIndex > -1) {
phoneNo = contacts.getString(nameFieldColumnIndex);
}
nameFieldColumnIndex = contacts.getColumnIndex(Phone.LABEL);
if (nameFieldColumnIndex > -1) {
label = contacts.getString(nameFieldColumnIndex);
}
if(label != null){
Log.i("CONTACTO", "id: " + contact_id + " -> name: " + name
+ " ->number: " + phoneNo + " ->label: " + label);
} else {
Log.d("CONTACTO", "id: " + contact_id + " -> name: " + name
+ " ->number: " + phoneNo + " ->label: " + label);
}
}
contacts.close();
}
}
And to insert a new custom label:
private void AddCtxtAttribute(int contactID, String contactNumber) {
if (contactID != 0 && contactNumber != null) {
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops =
new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newInsert(Data.CONTENT_URI)
.withValue(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, contactID)
.withValue(Data.MIMETYPE, Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)
.withValue(Phone.NUMBER, contactNumber)
.withValue(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_CUSTOM)
.withValue(Phone.LABEL, "My Custom Label")
.build());
try{
getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (OperationApplicationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
