Hi ..
u can try this code
Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Phones.CONTENT_URI,
null,"phones._id ="+id, null, null);
this code will return a row contain _id.
first ...
you try with phone no to get _id....
Cursor c= context.getContentResolver().query
(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI,
Contacts.PhonesColumns.NUMBER+"=9999999999",
null);
now fetch _id from this row & use it in next query...
it will work.....100% .
i had already tried thi thing.
