android - How can I update the contents of an entry in the Call Log?

Question

I would like to update the CallLog.Calls.TYPE field of the first entry in the Android Call Log from MISSED to INCOMING. I have read books, the developers reference and googled this to death and am reasonably sure that my code is correct. However, when I actually make the call to update(), the result is that no record is updated. My code sample is below.

Before you ask:
- I have permissions for WRITE_CONTACTS
- The record to be updated (0) does exist
- I have tried this on both a DroidX (Verizon) and a Samsung Galaxy (AT&T) - I have tried various other, longer forms of this code with same result

Can someone please help with this?

    ContentValues newValues = new ContentValues();
    newValues.put(CallLog.Calls.TYPE, CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE);
    newValues.put(CallLog.Calls.DURATION, 50);
    int result = OsmoService.context.getContentResolver().update(
    ContentUris.withAppendedId(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, 0), 
    newValues,null,null);

Answer 1

If you update your code above and replace the line:

ContentUris.withAppendedId(CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI, 0)

with this line:

Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls")

It works. I don't know why, but something is not correct with the content URI.

example:

ContentValues newValues = new ContentValues();
newValues.put(CallLog.Calls.TYPE, CallLog.Calls.INCOMING_TYPE);
newValues.put(CallLog.Calls.DURATION, 50);
int result = OsmoService.context.getContentResolver().update(
    Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls"), 
    newValues,
    null,
    null);
