Hi Stephan,
On Android, there are two types of contact ID: the individual contact ID,
and the lookup key. Android gives you the option of looking at aggregated
contacts (that is, merged contact details from multiple accounts), or
individual contacts. The ID that you are using in your original example is
the individual ID, but you have PreferContactAggregation set to true, which
(as per the docs:
http://betaapi.xamarin.com/?link=M%3aXamarin.Contacts.AddressBook.Load(System.String)
),
means that the ID you're passing should be a lookup key (which is what
you're retrieving in your second example). Your original example will work
if PreferContactAggregation is false, or your second example is just as
valid if you'd rather look at aggregates.
Hope that helps.
