Getting Number from Contacts Picker

Question

I am trying to get a contacts name and phone number after a user has picked a contact from the Contact Picker. I am attempting to make my application work for SDK v3 and up

Answer 1

 Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
 intent.setType(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_TYPE);
 startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT); 

These code helps u ,I think the PICK activity only returns the ID of the contact picked. From that you could query the Contact provider and if there are multiple phone numbers, prompt the user to select one of them.

U can use this also

@Override  
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {  
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {  
    switch (requestCode) {  
    case CONTACT_PICKER_RESULT:
        final EditText phoneInput = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.phoneNumberInput);
        Cursor cursor = null;  
        String phoneNumber = "";
        List<String> allNumbers = new ArrayList<String>();
        int phoneIdx = 0;
        try {  
            Uri result = data.getData();  
            String id = result.getLastPathSegment();  
            cursor = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, Phone.CONTACT_ID + "=?", new String[] { id }, null);  
            phoneIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.DATA);
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                while (cursor.isAfterLast() == false) {
                    phoneNumber = cursor.getString(phoneIdx);
                    allNumbers.add(phoneNumber);
                    cursor.moveToNext();
                }
            } else {
                //no results actions
            }  
        } catch (Exception e) {  
           //error actions
        } finally {  
            if (cursor != null) {  
                cursor.close();
            }

            final CharSequence[] items = allNumbers.toArray(new String[allNumbers.size()]);
            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(your_class.this);
            builder.setTitle("Choose a number");
            builder.setItems(items, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int item) {
                    String selectedNumber = items[item].toString();
                    selectedNumber = selectedNumber.replace("-", "");
                    phoneInput.setText(selectedNumber);
                }
            });
            AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
            if(allNumbers.size() > 1) {
                alert.show();
            } else {
                String selectedNumber = phoneNumber.toString();
                selectedNumber = selectedNumber.replace("-", "");
                phoneInput.setText(selectedNumber);
            }

            if (phoneNumber.length() == 0) {  
                //no numbers found actions  
            }  
        }  
        break;  
    }  
} else {
   //activity result error actions
}  
}

You need to adapt this to work with your app
