Problem With Times_contacted Value In Android Contacts Data

I am writing an android activity that displays information about contacts (contact name, last time contacted, etc.) I am trying to show the number of times a contact is contacted u

Solution 1:

It looks like Samsung does not update this value and I have not found a solution to this problem yet. It works ok on other devices though so it is definitely a Samsung problem which might be solved in future updates.

Solution 2:

I am also using this field to sort contacts in my app - but it doesn't work on SS Galaxy Y ( it works on Htc sensation/arc s/xperia ray). As far as I read from some forum - what we can do is: add our own ContentObserver to observer incoming/outgoing sms/calls - bad :(
