Answer 1

There is a problem in the accepted answer. If the number selected contains spaces within it
i.e. 85 29 948789 then it will show only 85 (until first space).

so use the below code to rectify this problem :)

Intent intent1 = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
intent1.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
            startActivityForResult(intent1, 1);

and in onActivityResult

    Uri contactUri = data.getData();

    String[] projection = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME};


    Cursor cursor = getContentResolver()
            .query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
    cursor.moveToFirst();


    int numberColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
    int nameColumn = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
    String number = cursor.getString(numberColumn);
    String name = cursor.getString(nameColumn);
