Hi,
I think that you have forgotten to commit changes. Modify your code to look like this:
RowKey rowKey = todolist3DataProvider.appendRow();
todolist3DataProvider.setCursorRow(rowKey);
todolist3DataProvider.setValue("todolist3.Date", date1);
todolist3DataProvider.setValue("todolist3.Item",item1);
todolist3DataProvider.setValue("todolist3.Contact",contact1);
todolist3DataProvider.setValue("todolist3.Phone_contact",phone1);
// commit your changes !!!
todolist3DataProvider.commitChanges();
} else {
// ....best regards
