How to open a contact card in Android by ID

Is it possible to open an android contact card by contact\'s ID? It works with the phone-number. Here is an example, if I use

Answer 1

use ACTION_VIEW and either build a contact URI using the contact ID or use the contact lookup URI if you already have it (preferred).

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(contactID));
    intent.setData(uri);
context.startActivity(intent);
