Dear Mohd,
Thank you for your reply.
It seems that the code you provided query to get the name and phone number
for all contacts. This is not what I want - I want to user to pick a
contact so I can retrieve the number of the contact.
As a side note: Please don't use catch with the Exception master class. And
e.printStackTrace() won't do much on (standard) Android ;-)
