Contacts provider not appears in “google contacts application”

问题

I wrote a Contacts provider. It is quite configurable via "Settings/Accounts", it correctly sync contacts from remote server and these contacts are visible in the "Google contacts" application.

But in the setting "Contacts to display" of the "Google Contacts application" I can't see my provider (but I see others, like skype).

Platform: Android >= 5.0

Any idea? TIA Roberto C.

I assume you've created an xml file for you SyncProvider, that xml file has a field userVisible, make sure it's true:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<sync-adapter
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:contentAuthority="com.example.my_sync_provider"
        android:accountType="com.example.my_type"
        android:userVisible="true"
        android:supportsUploading="true"
        android:allowParallelSyncs="true"
        android:isAlwaysSyncable="true" />

thanks. I have this attribute. I discovered that the problem was generated by a doubled calendar-related xml which refer an undefined account type
