How to increase Contact inserting performance?

Question

I am doing contacts inserting android app for that using applyBatch method,My content resolver showing null pointer exception.

public void import_contacts(File paramFile, int paramInt)
            throws IOException {
        String[] arrayOfString;
        i1 = 0;
        try {
            FileInputStream localFileInputStream = new FileInputStream(
                    paramFile);
            BufferedReader localBufferedReader = new BufferedReader(
                    new InputStreamReader(localFileInputStream));
            for (;;) {
                String str = localBufferedReader.readLine();
                if (str == null) {
                    localBufferedReader.close();
                    mProgress.setProgress(100);
                    mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                            alertdialog_Contact(totalRecToImport
                                    + " Contacts were imported Successfully");
                        }
                    });
                    return;
                }
                i1++;
                float f = i1;
                mProgressStatus = ((int) (f / (paramInt / 100)));
                mHandler.post(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        mProgress.setProgress(mProgressStatus);
                    }
                });
                Log.d("TAG", str);
                arrayOfString = str.split(";");
                if (arrayOfString.length >= 4) {
                    // if (arrayOfString.length != 4) {
                    // break;
                    // }
//                  insertLine(arrayOfString[0], "", arrayOfString[3], "", "",
//                          "", "", "", "", "", "", "");
                    op_list = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();

You can't insert contacts with null account name and account type. Also keep batch size to maximum of 50. The account name and type should be a writable account, or you should create your own account in the device.

How you come with this maximum of 50? – Oximer Aug 20 '18 at 13:02
Just a hit and trial number with best memory and performance that time, its up to a 100 now. – Ankur Kumar Aug 21 '18 at 15:29
