Android :: Trouble Setting Photos With Contacts Contract

I'm happily retrieving contact photos with the new Contacts Contract APIs and cursor.getBlob, but I'm having great trouble working out how to set a contact photo.

I believe I have the right URI (at least, it works for retrieving the photo), but it just won't work for updating or adding one.

Here's my best bet:

ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); bitmap.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 90, bytes);

Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath( ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, friendId ); uri = Uri.withAppendedPath( uri, ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);

// eg: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/6/photo

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();

values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.PHOTO, bytes.toByteArray()); values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE );

context.getContentResolver().insert(uri, values);

And here's my exception:

java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown uri: content://com.android.contacts/contacts/6/photo at com.android.providers.contacts.LegacyApiSupport.update (LegacyApiSupport.java:914) at com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2.updateInTransaction (ContactsProvider2.java:2924) at com.android.providers.contacts.SQLiteContentProvider.update (SQLiteContentProvider.java:139) at com.android.providers.contacts.ContactsProvider2.update (ContactsProvider2.java:1923) at android.content.ContentProvider$Transport.update (ContentProvider.java:180) at android.content.ContentProviderNative.onTransact (ContentProviderNative.java:195) at android.os.Binder.execTransact(Binder.java:287) at dalvik.system.NativeStart.run(Native Method).
