This is the logcat for the error. It keeps showing that the setitemOnClickListener keeps referring to a null object whereas, I've already assigned the listview to its respective id.
EDIT:**I've fixed part of the error, by renaming the setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); in the contacts class to setContentView(R.layout.contacts); But now after that, it shows this error, **java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'android.view.View android.view.View.findViewById(int)' on a null object reference

If the data in the database, or some other storage, only pass the _id or the location, respectively.
Instead of passing many extras, Android way is, actually, Parcable. Here a nice tutorial from Vogella
public class TestModel implements Parcelable {
String name;
String phoneNumber;
//.....

public void writeToParcel(Parcel dest, int flags) {

This is the logcat for the error. It keeps showing that the findViewById keeps referring to a null object whereas, I've already assigned all the variables to their respective ids.

Android multiple contacts from groups and images

I want to do the following.
Pick up three to five contacts out of a special group of contacts or all contacts.
In the list it would be nice to show the contact image.
The selected contacts should have the following information (contact-id, first name, the small version of the contact image to save it as a blob in the database)
I found solutions for the different aspects.
-select multiple contacts:
How to obtain the checked rows in a custom view list
-show contacts from one group
getting contacts from a specified group in android
- photo problem
Getting a Photo from a Contact
But I dont know how to put those together. It would be great if someone could help me putting it together.
Thank you very much!

phone = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
Log.v("getting phone number", "Phone Number: " + phone);
}
}
}
}
everything reads fine up until the point where i try to get the phone number

Shouldn't it be:
while(pCur.moveToNext()){
phone = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
Log.v("getting phone number", "Phone Number: " + phone);
}
That is, pCur instead of the 'c' cursor, which holds the contacts?

You need to reset the cursor before calling "moveToNext()". Just call "pCur.moveToFirst();" right before the while. That should help.

i got it, i took out the while loop and i get the number fine now
