Answer 1

there is a issue in chetanbhalala / Add-contact-to-group-in-android with selected item on click function.

i solved it like this way

    @Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    if(v == btn_add)
    {
        if(selected_items_id.size() > 0)
        {
            selected_items_id.clear();
        }
        ListView parent = getListView();
        SparseBooleanArray choices = parent.getCheckedItemPositions();
        for (int i = 0; i < parent.getCount(); i++)
        {                
            if (choices.get(i))
            {
                selected_items_id.add(""+ group_contacts_id.get(i));
                  System.out.println(group_contacts_id.get(i)+"group_contacts_id is");
            }  
        } 

        if(selected_items_id.size() > 0)
        {
            add_group();
        }
        else
        {
            Toast.makeText(this, "please select contact:", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }
    }
}

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT);
                intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);

                intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NAME, fullname);
intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.PHONE,phoneno);
                intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.EMAIL, email);
                intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.NOTES,
                        "Imported from moodle");
                intent.putExtra(ContactsContract.Intents.Insert.POSTAL, city
                        + " " + country);

                startActivityForResult(intent, 1);

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            switch (requestCode) {
            case 1:
                if (requestCode == 1) {

                }
                super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
            }
        }
    }

Answer 3

Bellow code is worked perfect in my side. So, Please try it or you can download sample example from chetanbhalala

try
{

   // Add selected contact to selected group
   ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
       values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.RAW_CONTACT_ID,Integer.parseInt(245)); // 245 is a contact id, replace with selected contact id

       values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.GROUP_ROW_ID,3);// 3 is a group id, replace with selected group id

       values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.MIMETYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.GroupMembership.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);

       ContextWrapper context = this;
       context.getContentResolver().insert(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, values);
       // End add contact to group code
}
catch (Exception e) 
{
   // TODO: handle exception
   Log.d("add group error :", ""+ e.getMessage().toString());
}

1)

public static void createNewGroup(String name)
    {
        try
    {
        ContentValues groupValues = new ContentValues();
        groupValues.put(Groups.TITLE, name);
        groupValues.put(Groups.SHOULD_SYNC, true);
        groupValues.put(Groups.GROUP_VISIBLE, 1);
        groupValues.putNull(Groups.ACCOUNT_TYPE);
        groupValues.putNull(Groups.ACCOUNT_NAME);
        getContentResolver().insert(Groups.CONTENT_URI, groupValues);
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception e){}
    }

2)

public static Uri addContactToGroup(String rawContactId,String groupId)
    {
        try
        {
            ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
            values.put(Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID, rawContactId);
            values.put(GroupMembership.GROUP_ROW_ID, groupId);
            values.put(Data.MIMETYPE, GroupMembership.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE);

            return getContentResolver().insert(Data.CONTENT_URI, values);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {}
        return Uri.EMPTY;
    }

3)

public static Cursor getContactGroupId(String contactId)
    {
        Uri uri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
        String[] columns = new String[] { GroupMembership.GROUP_ROW_ID };
        String where = Data.CONTACT_ID + " = ? AND " + Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
        String[] args = new String[] {contactId, GroupMembership.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
        return Cursor contacts = getContentResolver().query(uri, columns, where, arg, null);
    }

public static Cursor getGroupsList(@Nullable String[] project,@Nullable String where,@Nullable String[] args,@Nullable String sort)
    {

        return getContentResolver().query(Groups.CONTENT_URI, project, where, args, sort);
    }
