Use the PhoneLookup table for this.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.html
String phoneNumber = // the given number
1. Make the URI to the contact:
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
2. Get your row(s):
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(uri, new
String[]{PhoneLookup.LOOKUP_KEY, PhoneLookup._ID}, null, null, null);
3. Check the result:
if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst())
{
cursor.getString(0) will be your lookup key and cursor.getLong(1) is your
contact id in the aggregated contact table.
}
else
{
// no contact found
}
ps: dont forget to close your cursor
