Answer 1

For getting contact list from your phone book you need write permission in AndroidManifest.XML (i.e. android.permission.READ_CONTACTS) .And you can collect contact list using following method.

          ShowContact()
         {
           ArrayList<String> nameList;
           ArrayList<String> phoneNoList;

           ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
           Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
            null, null, null, null);
           if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
          while (cur.moveToNext()) {
            String id = cur.getString(
                    cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
            String name = cur.getString(
                    cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
               if(Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                   //Query phone here.  Covered next

                 Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?", 
                 new String[]{id}, null);
                  while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
                // Do something with phones
                    String phoneNo = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

                    nameList.add(name); // Here you can list of contact.
                    phoneNoList.add(phoneNo); // And here you can get list of phone number.You have to query separately for getting phone_no,email,name etc 
   // Here you have to iterate this(i.e. nameList) with your list in the database.And your rest of logic.

                } 
                pCur.close();                 
        }
     }      
   }
}

And Let me know if are having any issue in getting contact list.

public static List fetchContacts(Context context) { final String DISPLAY_NAME = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY;

    final String FILTER = DISPLAY_NAME + " NOT LIKE '%@%'";

    final String ORDER = String.format("%1$s COLLATE NOCASE", DISPLAY_NAME);
    final String[] PROJECTION = {
            ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
            DISPLAY_NAME,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER
    };
    ArrayList<MyContact> contacts = new ArrayList<>();
    try {
        ContentResolver cr = context.getContentResolver();
        Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, FILTER, null, ORDER);
        if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                MyContact contact = new MyContact();
                // get the contact's information
                String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                contact.setContactId(id);

                String name = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(DISPLAY_NAME));

                        String timeStamp = cp.getString(cp.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_LAST_UPDATED_TIMESTAMP));
                        contact.setLastUpdateTimestamp(timeStamp);

                        String photoUri = cp.getString(cp.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI));
                        contact.setPhotoUri(photoUri);

                        cp.close();
                    }
                }
                contact.setPhone_number(phone);
                contacts.add(contact);
            } while (cursor.moveToNext());
