Dear Mohd, Thank you for your reply.
It seems that the code you provided query to get the name and phone number for all contacts. This is not what I want - I want to user to pick a contact so I can retrieve the number of the contact. As a side note: Please don't use catch with the Exception master class. And e.printStackTrace() won't do much on (standard) Android ;-) On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 10:11 PM, Mohd Arshi Khan <[email protected]>wrote: > try this > --------- > Cursor phones; > try { > phones = getContentResolver().query( > ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, > null, null, > null, > ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME+" ASC "); > > while (phones.moveToNext()) { > > String name = phones > .getString(phones > > .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME)); > > String phoneNumber = phones > .getString(phones > > .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); > > objContact = new ContactFields(); > objContact.setName(name); > objContact.setPhoneNumber(phoneNumber); > list.add(objContact); > > > > } > > } catch (Exception e) { > // TODO Auto-generated catch block > e.printStackTrace(); > }finally{ > phones.close(); > } > > > > On Sun, Nov 17, 2013 at 6:36 PM, Michael Banzon <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> I am trying to get a contact with a phone number and so far I haven't >> found a reliable way to do this.
