Well instead of using

try
                SimpleCursorAdapter sAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter
(this,
                                R.layout.menulist_complexitem,
                                cursor,
                                new String[] {
                                        People.NAME, // column containing the 
name
                                        People.PRIMARY_PHONE_ID // column 
containing the ID, which
you can use to get the phone number from doing a query on
Phones.CONTENT_URI instead of People.CONTENT_URI
                                }, new int[] {
                                        R.id.name, // ID of the TextView you 
want to display the
name
                                        R.id.phone_id // ID of the TextView you 
want to display
the ID
                                }
                );

where R.layout.menulist_complexitem is the layout file for your
pulldown item view and R.id.name/R.id.phone_id are the two ids of the
TextViews inside the menulist_complexitem.xml.

Probably you'd need to make your own Adapter extending CursorAdapter
which will use the Contacts.People._ID to find all phone numbers
associated with the user and add them to the list and adding a View
element for conctact (i.e. if a Contact has more than 1 phone number)
