My goal is to only display contacts with phone number to user and let user select few contacts which I want to store locally.

I have used various options in place of ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT\_URI in below method. But I am getting lot many of the contacts (many are junk with only email ids) displayed.

```
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        setContentView(R.layout.contact_selector);

        ((Button)findViewById(R.id.btnphonecontactlist)).setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {

         @Override
         public void onClick(View v) {
           // TODO Auto-generated method stub
           Intent contactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
            startActivityForResult(contactIntent, 1);
              }
           });
    }

```

If I pass ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT\_URI as parameter for above method and in case of below handler method, the String[] for the query method as projection parameters (which are shown commented), the method fails with java.lang.IllegalArgumentException. If I pass null in below method, then whatever contact I select, I don't find any column related to phone number or email.

```
    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

        if(data != null)
        {
            Uri uri = data.getData();

            if(uri != null)
            {
                Cursor c = null;

                try
                {
                    c = getContentResolver().query(uri, null
                                                // new String[] { 
                            //ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, 
                            //ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE}, 
                            , null, null, null);

                    if(c != null && c.moveToFirst())
                    {
                        String number = c.getString(0);
                        String type = c.getString(1);
                    }               
                }
                finally
                {
                    if(c != null && !c.isClosed())
                        c.close();
                }
            }
        }
    }

```

Is there any way to display only contacts visible to user usually when user goes to phone book and which has phone numbers available?

I tried going through all the threads in stackoverflow and other sites, but could not find any solution which resolve issue around this though many people have posted the issue. I haven't worked much with the Android platform and I might have missed out certain minor details and I believe there must be an easy way to achieve this.

Kindly suggest. Appreciate your help.

Thanks.
