Answer 1

To get the conatct id using the phone number use the following code:

import android.provider.ContactsContract.PhoneLookup;

public String fetchContactIdFromPhoneNumber(String phoneNumber) {
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
        Uri.encode(phoneNumber));
    Cursor cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(uri,
        new String[] { PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID },
        null, null, null);

    String contactId = "";

    if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
        contactId = cursor.getString(cursor
            .getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup._ID));
        } while (cursor.moveToNext());
    }

    return contactId;
  }

and use the contact id obtained to get the contatc photo URI. Use the following code for getting photo URI:

import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone;

public Uri getPhotoUri(long contactId) {
    ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();

    try {
        Cursor cursor = contentResolver
            .query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
                null,
                ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID
                    + "="
                    + contactId
                    + " AND "

                    + ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE
                    + "='"
                    + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE
                    + "'", null, null);

        if (cursor != null) {
        if (!cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            return null; // no photo
        }
        } else {
        return null; // error in cursor process
        }

    } catch (Exception e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return null;
    }

    Uri person = ContentUris.withAppendedId(
        ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
    return Uri.withAppendedPath(person,
        ContactsContract.Contacts.Photo.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
  }

Hope this would help.
