Question

I am trying to make an application on android that takes the contact name as a string input and returns his phone number if that contact exists in the phone book...

Answer 1

Try this way...

Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,);
String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
if(name.equals(Your_String)) {
    Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
    String lname = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
