Answer 1

Try this:

Log.i(TAG,"load_contact for "+Phone_numb);
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(Phone_numb));
String name = "?";

ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor contactLookup = contentResolver.query(uri, 
    new String[] { BaseColumns._ID, ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null);

try {
    if (contactLookup != null && contactLookup.getCount() > 0) {
        contactLookup.moveToNext();
        name = contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
    } else {
         return Phone_numb;
    }
} finally {
    if (contactLookup != null) {
        contactLookup.close();
    }
}
