Basically I was wondering if its possible to store all contact data in a file or listview without opening the intent. Essentially making my own contact screen within my app.
In the event that this is possible, could someone point me in the direction of a post that goes over how to save and pull data from a file?
You should be able to retrieve the contact data using a Content Provider (Android Developers). Read the example below the heading “Querying a Content Provider”.
For reading and writing data to a file you can use FileInputStream and FileOutputStream. You find an example of how to use them in this post.
