Reading contacts is already part of the public APIs.

No, there is no such list and we won't offer one.

They're not private: you can grab the source code and find them in
there. But developers are already wrongly using those APIs and
producing such a list would only encourage the use of private APIs. It
will only cause problems and there is absolutely no good reason to do
so. You have a list of public APIs, if something you want to do is not
possible with these APIs, then you cannot do it. You are welcome to
submit patches (source.android.com) or file feature requests
(b.android.com) though.
