till i believe that problem is universal to all android apps, mine cant add contacts either and simply crash the Android apps when i try adding contacts from within the android app, i i add contacts using People sailfish app it works of course but only after rebooting the phone for each added contact, might be sailfish 2.0.3.14 bugs but more likely limitations inherent in the support for android.

yes, it seems that currently android support only has read access to the sailfish contacts db. If that's good or bad is another question :)

Have you enabled "Settings -> Android Support -> Allow Android apps to access your contacts"?

kromonos i have it enabled and it retrieves contacts in whatsapp etc, where it fails is android editing or adding contacts, seems to be a gap in Aliendalvik support.

No need for downvote for a normal question!
