Contact ids are not stable. To address a contact you need a contact lookup uri. Your can build one or example with this function: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.Contacts.html#getLookupUri(long, java.lang.String)
After you can pass it to the contacts app. BTW content://contacts/people/ is deprecated. On 6 June 2012 11:34, Balint <[email protected]> wrote: > I query the phone's calllog into a ListView.
