Contacts App - CONTACTS_STRUCTURE - Correctly manage names fields

MDCS_DEV — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 17:08:02 GMT

Hello,

I develop an android application which declare a contact sync adapter.

My CONTACTS_STRUCTURE file is defined like this :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ContactsAccountType
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >
    <EditSchema>
        <DataKind kind="name"
                  maxOccurs="1"
                  supportsDisplayName="true"
                  supportsPrefix="true"
                  supportsMiddleName="true"
                  supportsSuffix="true"
                  supportsPhoneticFamilyName="true"
                  supportsPhoneticMiddleName="true"
                  supportsPhoneticGivenName="true"
            >
        </DataKind>

            <Type type="custom" />
        </DataKind>
    </EditSchema>
</ContactsAccountType>

When I run my application on a sony device, I have a strange behavior when adding a contact in my account :

In the name fields category, I see a field named "Name" :

When I enter text in the "Name" field and save my contact (and I think users will do the same), I am redirected to the contacts list and my contact is not added.

I think the "Name" field corresponds to this declaration :

supportsDisplayName="true"

It seems to be the same problem with Yahoo and CardDav Sync Free accounts.

No problem with another manufacturer.

Can you please check your contact application or give me a solution without compromise those fields on other devices ?

Moreover, I suggest you to put LastName and FirstName fields instead of phonetics fields when folding up names category :
