Question

Hello dear Stackoverflowers !

I work on a CardDAV sync source for Android 2.3.3, and I don’t understand a think.
I read carefully the document about samplesyncadaptater, which works only for reading contacts from distant serveur.
But in my case, I’m trying to add a source that aloud to both read contact from server and write contact to server.

At this point:
– My project appears when you want to add a sync source in Android.
– I can parametize my source and authentication works
– When I go to contact app and go to the account visibility option (menu name depends of your phone rom) I can select my source to show its contact
– but when I try to create a contact, only my gmail and outlook source are provided.
Maybe I miss someting in the various xml file I need.

Plz help me I put my different xml files…

Here’s the Manifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.accounts.AccountAuthenticator"
            android:resource="@xml/authenticator" />
    </service>
    <service
        android:name=".syncadapter.SyncService"
        android:exported="true" android:enabled="true">
        <intent-filter>
            <action

        </intent-filter>
        <meta-data
            android:name="android.content.SyncAdapter"
            android:resource="@xml/syncadapter" />

    </service>
    <activity
        android:name=".authenticator.CardDAVActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name" 
        android:excludeFromRecents="true">
    </activity>
</application>
</manifest>

you need to create an activity with the data fields you need, and call it with the intent filter in the link.
