You can create android project and add these files:

res/layout->activity_main.xml

ContactObject.java

    private String image;
    private boolean selected;
    public String getName() {
        return contactName;
    }
    public void setName(String contactName) {
        this.contactName = contactName;
    }
    public String getNumber() {
        return contactNo;
    }
    public void setNumber(String contactNo) {
        this.contactNo = contactNo;
    }
    public String getImage() {
        return image;
    }
    public void setImage(String image) {
        this.image = image;
    }
    public boolean isSelected() {
