Answer 1

Try the below code.

Cursor managedCursor = getContentResolver()
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
 new String[] {Phone._ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER}, null, null,  Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

Answer 2

Don't use deprecated API access like as follow

        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().
    query( Contacts.CONTENT_URI, 
            new String[]{Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null,null);
    if(cursor!=null){
        while(cursor.moveToNext()){
            Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE}, 
                    " DISPLAY_NAME = '"+cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME))+"'", null, null);
            while(c.moveToNext()){
                switch(c.getInt(c.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE))){
                case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE :
                case Phone.TYPE_HOME :
                case Phone.TYPE_WORK :
                case Phone.TYPE_OTHER :
                }
            }
        }
    }

Look on the sample code for retrieve the contacts from android mobile,

    Cursor cursor = context.getContentResolver().query(
                ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);


String contactId = cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

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

            Cursor phones = context.getContentResolver().query(
                    Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
                    Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = " + contactId, null, null);
            while (phones.moveToNext()) {
                String number = phones.getString(phones
                        .getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
                int type = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(Phone.TYPE));
                switch (type) {
                case Phone.TYPE_HOME:                   
                     Log.i("TYPE_HOME", "" + number);
                    break;
                case Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:                 
                    Log.i("TYPE_MOBILE", "" + number);
                    break;
                case Phone.TYPE_WORK:                   
                     Log.i("TYPE_WORK", "" + number);
                    break;
                case Phone.TYPE_FAX_WORK:                   
                    Log.i("TYPE_FAX_WORK", "" + number);
                    break;
                case Phone.TYPE_FAX_HOME:
                    Log.i("TYPE_FAX_HOME", "" + number);
                    break;

                case Phone.TYPE_OTHER:
                    Log.i("TYPE_OTHER", "" + number);
                    break;
                }
            }
            phones.close();
cursor.close();

Answer 4

HellBoy is right, Phone.xxx is depricated. I did it that way with a lookup-uri:

Uri look = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI, "23N9983726428fnwe");
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW); 
i.setData(look);

Experiment with Contacts.xxx on the first line, you will find the right sollution.

Answer 6

In Android manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

Then in the activity:

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener(){

            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                if(hasFocus){
                    editText.setText("");   
                     Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
                     startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
                }
            }           
        });

And then you have to catch the result of the action pick contact:

@Override 
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data){ 
    super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);

    switch(reqCode)
    {
       case (PICK_CONTACT):
         if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK)
         {
             Uri contactData = data.getData();
             Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
              if (c.moveToFirst())
              {
                  String id = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

                  String hasPhone = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));

                  if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) 
                  {
                      Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null, 
                             ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ id,null, null);
                      phones.moveToFirst();
                      String cNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                       Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), cNumber, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                      String nameContact = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));

                      editText.setText(nameContact+ " "+ cNumber);
                  }
             }
       }
    }
}
