How to get contact name for sms conversations?

Question

I'm retrieving list of last sms/mms conversations using following query:

String[] columns={"type", "address", "date", "body", "conversation_id"};
Cursor cursor=context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.parse("content://mms-sms/conversations"), columns,  null, null, "date desc");

Can anyone advise me how to get in the same query also contact name? Specifically field ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME?

I mean, I understand how to get those field in separate query, but I need to get it in the same query as for conversations.

Try this:

Log.i(TAG,"load_contact for "+Phone_numb);
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(Phone_numb));
    String name = "?";

    ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
    Cursor contactLookup = contentResolver.query(uri, new String[] {BaseColumns._ID,
            ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null, null);

    try {
        if (contactLookup != null && contactLookup.getCount() > 0) {
            contactLookup.moveToNext();
            name = contactLookup.getString(contactLookup.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
        }
        else
        {
            return Phone_numb;
        }
    } finally {
        if (contactLookup != null) {
            contactLookup.close();
        }
    }

I made this using this workaround:

val uri = Uri.parse("content://sms")
val projection = arrayOf("DISTINCT $THREAD_ID", _ID, ADDRESS, BODY, DATE, TYPE)
val selection = "$THREAD_ID IS NOT NULL) GROUP BY ($THREAD_ID"

contentResolver.query(uri, projection , selection, null, "date DESC")

If someone knows better approach, please, share it.
