How to update existing contact?

Question

I have one existing contact, I need to add a work address to that existing contact. I am using the following code, but it's not working.

String selectPhone = Data.CONTACT_ID + "=? AND " + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + 
    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + 
    "'" + " AND " + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.TYPE + "=?"; 
String[] phoneArgs = new String[]
    {String.valueOf(ContactId), String.valueOf(
    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.TYPE_WORK)}; 
ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(Data.CONTENT_URI) 
    .withSelection(selectPhone, phoneArgs) 
    .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.STREET, STREET)
    .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CITY, CITY) 
    .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.REGION, REGION)
    .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.POSTCODE, POSTCODE) 
    .withValue(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.COUNTRY, COUNTRY)  
    .build()); 
this.context.getContentResolver().applyBatch(ContactsContract.AUTHORITY, ops); 

Any solution for this?
