A minor change in your code :: You need to have lookupUri..

public boolean contactExists(Activity _activity, String number) {
    Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number));
    String[] mPhoneNumberProjection = { PhoneLookup._ID, PhoneLookup.NUMBER, PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME };
    Cursor cur = _activity.getContentResolver().query(lookupUri, mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
    try {
        if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
            return true;
        }
    } finally {
        if (cur != null)
            cur.close();
    }
    return false;
}// contactExists
