BlackBerry add new contact to address book

the Blackberry app I'm working at requires me to export all app contacts to the BB address book. I'm able to retrieve the ContactList and create a new contact. However, when I call 

AddressBookArguments entry = 
    new AddressBookArguments(AddressBookArguments.ARG_NEW, contact);

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_ADDRESSBOOK, entry);

I'll have the new contact page of the address book poped up and have to manually press the save button. I can't let the user do this for all the contacts.

So my question is, is there a way to auto-save these newly created contacts?

You can certainly create new contacts programmatically.

Here is some sample code that creates a new contact with a company name and an email address. You can extend this with other fields, such as name, phone number, etc.

ContactList contactList = (ContactList)PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(
    PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.WRITE_ONLY);

Contact newContact = contactList.createContact();
newContact.addString(Contact.ORG, Contact.STRING, "ACME Corporation");

if ( contactList.isSupportedField(Contact.EMAIL) ) 
{
   newContact.addString(Contact.EMAIL, Contact.STRING, "[email protected]");
}

newContact.commit();
