Display synced contacts on HTC Sense

Question

I am currently working on a SyncAdapter to add contacts from a WebService. Everything works fine on the emulator, but the contacts do not appear on my HTC Desire using HTC Sense.

I read that Sense needs “real” contacts to “link” a new one, but I'm sure the Facebook sync app is adding new contacts.

So does anyone know how to do this? Thank.

Ok, it just works, you just need to declare your account in groups. Here is what I did:

ContentProviderClient client = mContext.getContentResolver().acquireContentProviderClient(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY_URI);
ContentValues cv = new ContentValues();
cv.put(Groups.ACCOUNT_NAME, account.name);
cv.put(Groups.ACCOUNT_TYPE, account.type);
cv.put(Settings.UNGROUPED_VISIBLE, true);
client.insert(Settings.CONTENT_URI.buildUpon()
    .appendQueryParameter(ContactsContract.CALLER_IS_SYNCADAPTER, "true")
    .build(), cv);
