S60 Contacts app to add contacts not working on device

[ssaroha]

Hello,
I compiled one of the sample apps in S60 rd edition SDK

S60\devices\S60_3rd_FP2_SDK\S60CppExamples\Contacts

and installed it on my Nokia E62 phone.

The app runs just fine on the emulator.
But on the phone, only the 'read only' behavior is working, i.e
I am able to only do the following:
- open Default Contacts DB, which lists all my contacts on the phone

Whenever I try to add or edit or delete a contact, the application just closes without any failure message or Panic.

All the above things work just fine on the emulator.

I have the following capabilities in the .mpp file
ReadUserData
WriteUserData

Any ideas what could be going on. I even added a TRAP stmt to the line which calls "addContactL" and log the error, but that does not help.

////////////////////////// code snippet //////////
TRAPD(err, cardId = iContactDb->AddNewContactL(*card);
if (err != KErrNone )
{
iLog.WriteFormat(_L("Failed adding the contact error code : %d"), err);
}
else
{
iLog.Write(_L("Added the contact to db"));
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////


Some times after the write attempt, if I go to Addressbook, get messages like:
Possible Database corruption
Address book already in use.


Any ideas what could I be doing wrong here.
Is it possible that Addressbook app and this ContactDB app are having locking issue on the contacts.cdb file.

Also where can i find the default 'contacts.cdb' file on the device.

I am really out of ideas at this point, any pointers would be very much appreciated.

I think you are missing certain capabilities.

Add WriteDeviceData and ReadDeviceData in your .mmp file and try it again.

So it should be something like:

CAPABILITY ReadUserData WriteUserData WriteDeviceData ReadDeviceData
