Method to return contacts phone number always returns null - Android [duplicate]

I am able to retrieve the contact ID, but then later I wish to separately retrieve the phone number based on the contact ID. The code below is returning a null result for the phone number. (I do wish later to retrieve the name and phone number together and populate a view, but I am just trying to get the phone number to work first).
In my onCreate I have this code
String phoneNum = getPhoneNumber(myID);
TextView phoneTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewPhone);
phoneTextView.setText(phoneNum);
This is the method for getPhoneNumber()
protected String getPhoneNumber(String id) {
ArrayList<String> phones = new ArrayList<String>();
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
phones.add(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)));
}
cursor.close();
String phoneNum;
phoneNum = phones.get(0);
return phoneNum;
}//end getPhoneNumber();
}
This produces the error java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Invalid index 0, size is 0, which I plan on creating some error handling for. But still, I am certain I have the ID from the previous code, so I don't know why the ArrayList returns null. If you would like to see that code, it is also in my onCreate:
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (cursor.getCount() != 0) {
int numContacts = cursor.getCount();
ArrayList<String> idList = new ArrayList<>();
Random rand = new Random();
int randomNum = rand.nextInt(numContacts);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
idList.add(id);
}
myID = idList.get(randomNum);
String myString = Integer.toString(randomNum);
TextView myTextView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textViewID);
myTextView.setText(myString);
if (myID != null) {
myTextView.setText(myID);
} else {
myTextView.setText("Try Again!");
}
} else {
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Your have no contacts.", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
cursor.close();

// You can fetch the Contact Number and Email With Following Methods.
String phone = getPhoneNumber(ContactId);
String email = getEmail("" + ContactId);
private String getPhoneNumber(long id) {
String phone = null;
Cursor phonesCursor = null;
phonesCursor = queryPhoneNumbers(id);
if (phonesCursor == null || phonesCursor.getCount() == 0) {
// No valid number
//signalError();
return null;
} else if (phonesCursor.getCount() == 1) {
// only one number, call it.
phone = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
} else {
phonesCursor.moveToPosition(-1);
while (phonesCursor.moveToNext()) {
// Found super primary, call it.
phone = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
break;
}
}
return phone;
}
private Cursor queryPhoneNumbers(long contactId) {
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Uri baseUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
contactId);
Uri dataUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(baseUri,
ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor c = cr.query(dataUri, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone._ID, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.LABEL},
ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + "=?",
new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE}, null);
if (c != null && c.moveToFirst()) {
return c;
}
return null;
}
private String getEmail(String id) {
String email = "";
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor emailCur = cr.query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
new String[]{id}, null);
while (emailCur.moveToNext()) {
// This would allow you get several email addresses
// if the email addresses were stored in an array
email = emailCur.getString(
emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
// String emailType = emailCur.getString(
// emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE));
}
emailCur.close();
return email;
}

I have not been able to successfully retrieve code based on the Contact ID - but this post gave me a clue: Retrieving a phone number with ContactsContract in Android - function doesn't work
I have altered my original code to query on DISPLAY_NAME instead and things are working now. Here is the method I am using to retrieve the phone number:
private String retrieveContactNumber(String contactName) {
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Name: " + contactName);
Cursor cursorPhone = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER},
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " = ? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + " = " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE,
new String[]{contactName},
null);
if (cursorPhone.moveToFirst()) {
contactNumber = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
cursorPhone.close();
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Phone Number: " + contactNumber);
return contactNumber;
}

Android fetch all contact list (name, email, phone) takes more then a minute for about 700 contacts

Is there any way to shorten this time?
I'm running with the cursor and takes the name, phone numbers and emails
if I remove the phone numbers query from the query loop it ends in 3 seconds
any idea how can I improve that query?
Maybe I'm doing something wrong in my query?
(Obviously I'm doing it async but still... it's a very long time that a user can't wait)
Hope someone can share his thoughts about this
this is my code
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
while (cur.moveToNext()) {
AddressBookEntity adr = new AddressBookEntity();
String id = cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String name = cur
.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
adr.fullName = name;
Cursor emailCur = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?", new String[] { id },
null);
while (emailCur.moveToNext()) {
// This would allow you get several email addresses
// if the email addresses were stored in an array
String email = emailCur
.getString(emailCur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(email)) {
adr.email = email;
}
}
emailCur.close();
if (Integer
.parseInt(cur.getString(cur
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr
.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID
+ " = ?",
new String[] { id }, null);
int phoneIndex = 0;
while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
String number = pCur.getString(pCur
.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
String country = Utils.GetCountryFromNumber(
number, app);
number = Utils.GetFullPhoneNumber(number, app);
if (phoneIndex == 0) {
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(number)) {
adr.contactAdressBookId = id;
adr.phoneNumber = number;
adr.userInsertedId = app.userCred.userId;
adr.country = country;
myContacts.add(adr);
}
} else {
if (!Utils.IsNullOrEmptyString(number)) {
AddressBookEntity adrMore = new AddressBookEntity();
adrMore.fullName = adrMore.fullName;
adrMore.country = adrMore.country;
adrMore.email = adrMore.email;
adrMore.phoneNumber = number;
adrMore.contactAdressBookId = id;
adrMore.country = country;
myContacts.add(adrMore);
}
}
}
pCur.close();
}
}
cur.close();

with the following code for 59 contacts i got the following results on the emulator:
D ╔══════ query execution stats ═══════
D ║ got 59 contacts
D ║ query took 0.012 s (12 ms)
D ╚════════════════════════════════════
ok, that was the best time, but the average is 25-35 ms (for 59 contacts), add the following code in some onClick callback and run in several times in order to get the average time, in your case you should get 30 * 700 / 59 = ~300-400 ms, not 3 seconds, let alone one minute ;)

You retrieve all columns in your query:
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
This makes the data processing much slower. If you define an array of columns which you really need to retrieve, it will be much faster.

Fetching contacts in android is very slow

I had written a code to fetch contact name, phone number and image from Contacts and to display it on a listview in android. It's working fine but taking more time to load. I had tried to use multi-threading in some parts of the code. But the loading time is not decreased.
Here is the onCreate() method:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lvDetail = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
fetchcontacts();
lvDetail.setAdapter(new MyBaseAdapter(context, myList));
}
Here is the code for fetch contacts:
private void fetchcontacts() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null,
null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
int count = cursor.getCount();
if (count > 0) {
Toast.makeText(context, "count >0", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String columnId = ContactsContract.Contacts._ID;
int cursorIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(columnId);
String id = cursor.getString(cursorIndex);
name = cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
Toast.makeText(context, "Toast 1", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
int numCount = Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)));
if (numCount > 0) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Toast 2", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Cursor phoneCursor = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,
CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID+" = ?", new String[] { id
}, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
while (phoneCursor.moveToNext()) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Toast 3", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
phoneNo = phoneCursor.getString(phoneCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.
Phone.NUMBER));
String image_uri = phoneCursor
.getString(phoneCursor
.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI));
if (image_uri != null) {
Toast.makeText(context, "Toast 4", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
System.out.println(Uri.parse(image_uri));
try {
bitmap = MediaStore.Images.Media
.getBitmap(this.getContentResolver(),
Uri.parse(image_uri));
// sb.append("\n Image in Bitmap:" + bitmap);
// System.out.println(bitmap);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Toast.makeText(context, name, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
getDataInList(name,phoneNo,bitmap);
name=null;
phoneNo=null;
Drawable myDrawable = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.star1);
bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) myDrawable).getBitmap();
}
phoneCursor.close();
}
}
}
Here the setAdapter() function of the listview is working after fetching all the contacts to an ArrayList. do anyone have idea about how to display the contacts during fetching contacts? any sample code?

1.Read the Columns from the Cursor which you required only ,According to your requirement you just need _ID,HAS_PHONE_NUMBER,DISPLAY_NAME ,so change the Cursor reading
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME }, null, null,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
2.Dont do the time taking process in the UI thread..Use AsyncTask instead
Note : This two steps will resolve to some extent..but not completely

I made it by reduce repeated query wich is expensive. Best of my solution is that method found all mobile phones and email for each contact and insert to list for every contact values. It is fast as storm now :)
//contact entity
public class MobileContact {
public String name;
public String contact;
public Type type;
public MobileContact(String contact, Type type) {
name = "";
this.contact = contact;
this.type = type;
}
public MobileContact(String name, String contact, Type type) {
this.name = name;
this.contact = contact;
this.type = type;
}
public enum Type {
EMAIL, PHONE
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "MobileContact{" +
"name='" + name + '\'' +
", contact='" + contact + '\'' +
", type=" + type +
'}';
}
}
// method for collect contacts
public List<MobileContact> getAllContacts() {
log.debug("get all contacts");
List<MobileContact> mobileContacts = new ArrayList<>();
ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();
// add all mobiles contact
Cursor phonesCursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID}, null, null, null);
while (phonesCursor != null && phonesCursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
String phoneNumber = phonesCursor.getString(phonesCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)).replace(" ", "");
mobileContacts.add(new MobileContact(contactId, phoneNumber, MobileContact.Type.PHONE));
}
if (phonesCursor != null) {
phonesCursor.close();
}
// add all email contact
Cursor emailCursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID}, null, null, null);
while (emailCursor != null && emailCursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = emailCursor.getString(emailCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID));
String email = emailCursor.getString(emailCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
mobileContacts.add(new MobileContact(contactId, email, MobileContact.Type.EMAIL));
}
if (emailCursor != null) {
emailCursor.close();
}
// get contact name map
Map<String, String> contactMap = new HashMap<>();
Cursor contactsCursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER}, null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
while (contactsCursor != null && contactsCursor.moveToNext()) {
String contactId = contactsCursor.getString(contactsCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String contactName = contactsCursor.getString(contactsCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
contactMap.put(contactId, contactName);
}
if (phonesCursor != null) {
phonesCursor.close();
}
// replace contactId to display name
for (MobileContact mobileContact : mobileContacts) {
String displayName = contactMap.get(mobileContact.name);
mobileContact.name = displayName != null ? displayName : "";
}
// sort list by name
Collections.sort(mobileContacts, new Comparator<MobileContact>() {
#Override
public int compare(MobileContact c1, MobileContact c2) {
return c1.name.compareTo(c2.name);
}
});
return mobileContacts;
}

The contacts in larse size use in backround task.
Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri.encode(number[i]));
ContentResolver contentResolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor search = contentResolver.query(uri, new String[]{ContactsContract.PhoneLookup._ID,
ContactsContract.PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null, null);
try {
if (search != null && search.getCount() > 0) {
search.moveToNext();
name = search.getString(search.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
id = search.getString(search.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data._ID));
System.out.println("name" + name + "id" + id);
/* tv_name.setText(name);
tv_id.setText(id);
tv_phone.setText(number);*/
}
} finally {
if (search != null) {
search.close();
}
}

Fastest way for me soo far .
ContentResolver cr = mContext.getContentResolver(); Cursor cursor= mContext.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, PROJECTION, "HAS_PHONE_NUMBER <> 0", null, null); if (cursor!= null) { final int displayNameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME); final int numberIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER); final int idIndex= cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID); String displayName, number = null, idValue; while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
displayName = cursor.getString(displayNameIndex);
idValue= cursor.getString(idIndex);
Cursor phones = mContext.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, "contact_id = '" + idValue + "'", null, null);
phones.moveToFirst();
try {
number = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex("data1"));
}
catch (CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException e)
{`
}
phones.close();
userList.add(new ContactModel(displayName , number , null , }

How to query all the details of the Contact at once

EDIT:A list of what I consider important contact details:
1.NAME
2.PHONE NUMBER
3.EMAIL ADDRESS
4.WEBSITE
5.PHYSICAL ADDRESS
I would prefer to do this using a pre-fetched contactId...using only one cursor to get all of the data specified.I,preferably would like to find the right query to do this:
I would like to get all of the important details of a Contact at once,I am using the following code to do this:
public void getAllDataByContactId(int contactId)
{
Log.d(TAG, "Seriously scared it might not work");
String phoneNo="Phone disconnected";
String email="Email could not be delivered";
String website="Website 404";
String address="Number 13,Dark Street,Area 51,Bermuda Trianlge";
String name="Clint Eastwood";
int hasPhoneNumber;
String selection=ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+"=?";
String[] selectionArgs={String.valueOf(contactId)};
Cursor c=context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null,selection, selectionArgs,ContactsContract.Data.TIMES_CONTACTED);
if(c!=null && c.getCount()>0)
{
while(c.moveToNext())
{
phoneNo=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
Log.d(TAG, "Phone number: "+phoneNo);
email=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.ADDRESS));
Log.d(TAG, "Email: "+email);
website=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Website.URL));
Log.d(TAG, "Website :"+website);
address=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS));
name=c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.d(TAG, "Name :"+name);
}
}
}
However,although this does not throw an error it shows many rows consisting of an empty string interspresed with the actual values.How do I write a query that cuts out the noise?
I have tried this and this gets me all the values:
String selection=ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID+"=? AND "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=? OR "+ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE+"=?";
String[] selectionArgs={String.valueOf(contactId),ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Website.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE};

Too late to answer, but maybe it can help someone in the future.
My solution for this question with only one while cycle and query:
private void fetchContacts(ContentResolver contentResolver) {
if (contentResolver == null) return;
Cursor cursor = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI,
null, null, null, null);
if (cursor == null || cursor.getCount() <= 0) {
return;
}
String prevId = "";
String contactId = "";
PersonContact personContact = null;
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
String company = "";
String columnName = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("mimetype"));
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Organization.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
company = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data1"));
}
String email = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
email = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
}
String phone = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
phone = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data1"));
}
String first = "";
String last = "";
if (columnName.equals(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)) {
first = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data2"));
last = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex("data3"));
}
if (!prevId.equals(contactId)) {
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(prevId)) {
addFilteredList(personContact);
allContacts.put(prevId, personContact);
}
prevId = contactId;
personContact = new PersonContact();
} else {
if (personContact != null) {
personContact.id = prevId;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.company)) personContact.company = company;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.firstName)) personContact.firstName = first;
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(personContact.lastName)) personContact.lastName = last;
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(email) && personContact.emails.size() == 0) {
personContact.emails.add(email);
}
if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(phone) && personContact.phoneNumbers.size() == 0) {
personContact.phoneNumbers.add(phone);
}
}
}
contactId = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
}
cursor.close();
}
As you can see, I used the prevId field, because cursor.moveToNext performs several times for one contact (once for first and last names, one for phone, etc.). After each iteration, I check the previous contact identifier with the current identifier and, if it is false, I update the fields in the personContact model.

May not be the best solution. But this is how I achieved it.

Android Contact Picker Checklist

I'm trying to create a "select-multiple" contact list where I can allow a user to check more than one contact. What I'm looking for is effectively the same thing as the native activity that appears when composing a message to multiple contacts. Thanks!

At first you need to get a list of contacts and then display it on ListView element. For example I'm using following code to display all users contacts on a ListView:
// Run query on all contacts id
Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME};
String selection = null;//ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = '" + ("1") + "'";
String[] selectionArgs = null;
String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
+ " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";
ContentResolver contectResolver = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = contectResolver.query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs,
sortOrder);
//Create buffer
final ArrayList<ContactData> bufferContacts = new ArrayList<ContactData>();
//Load contacts one by one
if(cursor.moveToFirst()) {
while(!cursor.isAfterLast()) {
String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
String[] emailProj = new String[]{Email.DATA};
Cursor cursorEmail = contectResolver.query(Email.CONTENT_URI, emailProj,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ? ", new String[] { id }, null);
String[] phoneProj = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME};
Cursor cursorPhone = contectResolver.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, phoneProj,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
String firstName = "";
String lastName = "";
String email = "";
String displayname = "";
String phoneNmb = "";
if(cursorPhone.moveToFirst()) {
///displayname = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
phoneNmb = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
cursorPhone.close();
if(cursorEmail.moveToFirst()) {
email = cursorEmail.getString(cursorEmail.getColumnIndex(Email.DATA));
}
cursorEmail.close();
displayname = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
//Divide display name to first and last
String[] names = displayname.split("\\s+");
firstName = displayname;
if(names.length >= 1) {
firstName = names[0];
}
if(names.length >= 2) {
firstName = names[1];
}
final ContactData contactData = new ContactData(id, firstName, lastName, phoneNmb, email, allChecked);
bufferContacts.add(contactData);
//Set list view initialy
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if(contactsAdapter == null) {
ArrayList<ContactData> contacts = new ArrayList<ContactData>();
contactsAdapter = new ContactAdapter(ContactPickerActivity.this, contacts);
lvContacts.setAdapter(contactsAdapter);
}
if(bufferContacts.size() >= BUFFER_INTERVAL) {
addBuffer(bufferContacts);
}
}
});
cursor.moveToNext();
}
}
cursor.close();
runOnUiThread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
addBuffer(bufferContacts);
}
});
