I added one simple line to the demo and it crashed with a null pointer
exception.  Apparently I can't recreate a second Uri from an original
Uri.

  private void readContact(Uri uri) {
    ImageView i = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image);
    Uri uri2 = Uri.parse(uri.getEncodedPath());
    Bitmap b = People.loadContactPhoto(this, uri2, 0, null);
    i.setImageBitmap(b);
  }

This is a terrible scenario, because people don't necessarily store
and retrieve within the same operations, and I have no idea how to
store a Uri except storing its path as a String.

How do I get around this??
