Try using this snippet: Showing Contact name and Email on the same row in list view.

 /**
 * Populate the contact list based on account.
 */
private void populateContactList() {
    // Build adapter with contact entries

    Cursor cursorEmail = getContactsEmail();//get all emails

    String[] fields = new String[] //fields of data to take
    {       ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
            ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA
    };
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = 
            new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.contact_entry, cursorEmail ,
            fields, new int[] 
                         {R.id.UID,R.id.contactEntryText,R.id.contactEmail});
    mContactList.setAdapter(adapter);
}

/**
 * Obtains the contact list for the currently selected account.
 *
 * @return A cursor for for accessing the contact list.
 */
private Cursor getContactsEmail()
{
    // Run query
    Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI;
    String[] projection = new String[] {
            ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA
    };
    String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP +"='1'";
    //showing only visible contacts  
    String[] selectionArgs = null;
    String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
  return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
}
