Could you post the exact Uri you're passing to query()? As the javadoc describes, you need to append a filter string to the CONTENT_FILTER_URI so it knows what to filter on.
Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_URI, phoneNumber); Also, you might be able to skip your second step, since you can directly ask for the PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME column in the projection. j On Fri, Oct 30, 2009 at 8:05 AM, agirardello <[email protected]> wrote: > > Dear all, > > I'm trying to adapt my application (Personalytics) for the brand new > Android 2.0, however I'm facing an issue while accessing contacts' > phone numbers... > > What I need to do is to retrieve the name associated to a stored > contact based on his/her phone number.
