Pick contact directly from contact picker intent

I also had the same problem. Finally, I got rid of intermediate picker screen using below code,

Intent i=new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);i.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);startActivityForResult(i, SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER);

In onActivityResult get phone number as below

if (requestCode == SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER && resultCode == RESULT_OK) {  // Get the URI and query the content provider for the phone number  Uri contactUri = data.getData();  String[] projection = new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};  Cursor cursor = getContext().getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection,      null, null, null);  // If the cursor returned is valid, get the phone number  if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {    int numberIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);    String number = cursor.getString(numberIndex);    // Do something with the phone number    ...   }   cursor.close();}

Try the below code to pick contact:

Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);            startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, RESULT_PICK_CONTACT);

You can fetch the required information in onActivityResult as follows:

protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {        switch (requestCode) {            case RESULT_PICK_CONTACT:                  Cursor cursor = null;    try {        String phoneNo = null;        String name = null;        Uri uri = data.getData();        cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);        cursor.moveToFirst();        int  phoneIndex =cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);        int  nameIndex =cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);        phoneNo = cursor.getString(phoneIndex);        name = cursor.getString(nameIndex);       Log.e("Name and Contact number is",name+","+phoneNo);    } catch (Exception e) {        e.printStackTrace();    }                break;        }    } else {        Log.e("Failed", "Not able to pick contact");    }}

Here is a way to pick name, phone number from Contact in Kotlin

private fun pickEmergencyFromContacts() {    val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK)    i.type = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE    startActivityForResult(i, SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER)}override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) {    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)    if (requestCode == SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER && resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {        val contactUri = data?.data ?: return        val projection = arrayOf(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)        val cursor = requireContext().contentResolver.query(contactUri, projection,                null, null, null)        if (cursor != null && cursor.moveToFirst()) {            val nameIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME)            val numberIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)            val name = cursor.getString(nameIndex)            val number = cursor.getString(numberIndex)            // do something with name and phone        }        cursor?.close()    }}companion object {    private const val SELECT_PHONE_NUMBER = 111        ...}

Hope it help
