The complete list of data columns
These are all generic columns. The key column is the MimeType column indicating the kind of row it is.
satya - Friday, October 29, 2010 9:57:51 AM
Where are the mime types for the contact data defined
Data is a generic table that can hold any kind of contact data. The kind of data stored in a given row is specified by the row's MIMETYPE value, which determines the meaning of the generic columns DATA1 through DATA15. For example, if the data kind is Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, then the column DATA1 stores the phone number, but if the data kind is Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, then DATA1 stores the email address. Sync adapters and applications can introduce their own data kinds.
satya - Friday, October 29, 2010 10:05:42 AM
convention
data1: for actual data such as email, phone etc.
data15: for blob data

Some info link on contact types and accounts
Some info link on contact types and accounts
Summary at this link
you have an option to choose a contact type when you create a new contact
You cannot change contact types once created
By default your contact type is PHONE
is that same as account type??
Under "People" go to menu/view and ensure that Google is checked - and NOT phone or facebook or any other ones that may be listed.

To see gmail account setup in the emulator you may need to install the google api optional component
I am checking now.
satya - Wednesday, January 12, 2011 4:31:54 PM
That indeed is the fact
To see the gmail account setup in the emulator you need to download and install the google api extension. In builds starting with 2.3 this extension comes in a separate bundle.
