how to display contacts in a listview in Android for Android api 11+

Small stripped down example for displaying the contacts name in a ListView.Below Fragment extends ListFragment which has a default layout. You don't need to specify your own. The layout for list items is also taken from Android's default layouts (android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1) which is a simple single line of text per item.
