Use this kind of code:

public void logCallLog(String number)
{
    long dialed;
    String columns[]=new String[] {
            CallLog.Calls._ID,
            CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
            CallLog.Calls.DATE,
            CallLog.Calls.DURATION,
            CallLog.Calls.TYPE};
    String args[]=new String[1];
    args[0]=number;
    Cursor c;
    c = this.managedQuery(Uri.parse("content://call_log/calls"),
            columns, CallLog.Calls.NUMBER+"=?", args, "Calls._ID DESC"); //last record first
    while (c.moveToNext())
    {
        dialed=c.getLong(c.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.DATE));
        if(Me.DEBUG)
            Log.v("CallLog", "Call to number: "+number+", registered at: "+new Date(dialed).toString());
    }
}
