问题
I am writing a custom sync adapter following the example in the SDK sample, and things seem to be working well. I can sync back contacts from my server and have them appear in the Contacts app.
However, I am unable to add a contact directly to my server. Specifically, I want my sync adapter to appear as an option in the Spinner on the add contact screen, in addition to Google and Corporate, as shown in the screenshot. I couldn't find anything on the interwebs that talks about this.
回答1:
Ok I figured it out. Turns out the contacts.xml file defining a ContactsAccountType that ships with the SDK sample is pretty bare bones. Fleshing it out a little makes my sync adapter appear in the Spinner (beginning with Android 4.0.3 according to this bug report).
A sample showing all available fields is available here. I have copied it below for reference:

<!--
Name:
- maxOccurs must be 1
- No types.
- Currently all the supportsXxx attributes must be true, but here's the plan for the
future:
(There's some hardcoded assumptions in the contact editor, which is one reason
for the above restriction)
- "Family name" and "Given name" must be supported.
- All sync adapters must support structured name. "display name only" is not
supported.
-> Supporting this would require relatively large changes to
the contact editor.
- Fields are decided from the attributes:
StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME if supportsDisplayName == true
StructuredName.PREFIX if supportsPrefix == true
StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME (always)
StructuredName.MIDDLE_NAME if supportsPrefix == true
StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME (always)
StructuredName.SUFFIX if supportsSuffix == true
StructuredName.PHONETIC_FAMILY_NAME if supportsPhoneticFamilyName == true
StructuredName.PHONETIC_MIDDLE_NAME if supportsPhoneticMiddleName == true
StructuredName.PHONETIC_GIVEN_NAME if supportsPhoneticGivenName == true
- DataKind.PSEUDO_MIME_TYPE_DISPLAY_NAME is always added.
- DataKind.PSEUDO_MIME_TYPE_PHONETIC_NAME is added
if any of supportsPhoneticXxx == true
