Problem
Similar to #257, using query APIs'
accountsfunction to match local (Raw)Contacts (and groups), those that have a null Account and are not synced outside of the device, does not work for Xiaomi devices running MiUI.The following will NOT return any contacts;
query.accounts(null).find()This issue occurs because "Phone contacts" (local contacts and groups) in Xiaomi devices are assigned to the following "account"; name "default", type "com.android.contacts.default". RawContacts that are inserted with a null account will, immediately or at a later time, be automatically associated to this local account. This account is not returned by the Android
AccountManager. Either because 3rd party apps do not have access to it or it is not an actual real account.Solution
Update the
accountsfunction of all query APIs to also match the local account name and type of Xiaomi devices instead of just null when null is passed.Apply this solution to all query APIs with an
accountsfunction;QueryBroadQueryProfileQueryRawContactsQueryDataQueryGroupsQueryOther considerations
Given that Xiaomi is automatically assigning local RawContacts to account name "default", type "com.android.contacts.default", there is no need to refactor insert and update APIs.
