To answer my own post... I looked at the Contacts source code, and
this is essentially what they do:
The main "My contacts" group is called
Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS.
To query all members in that group, simply use this URI:
Uri uri = Uri.parse("content://contacts/groups/system_id/" +
Contacts.Groups.GROUP_MY_CONTACTS + "/members");
Works like a charm for me. I can imagine that at least part of this
URL is contained in the Contacts.Groups.CONTENT_* strings, so it would
be cleaner to use those.
