Question

Hi i’m making an app which need to get user’s gmail account contact list and online_status. I have searched the net finally i got list of all contacts related to my account from this code

Cursor emailCur = cr.query( ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.
                                                  Email.CONTENT_URI, null,
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", 
                                                  new String[]{_id}, null);         
while (emailCur.moveToNext()) { 

   String email = emailCur.getString(
                emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));          
   String emailType = emailCur.getString(
   emailCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.TYPE)); 

} 
emailCur.close();

Now, I want to get the online status of those contact’s like ( Available, Busy, Idele, Unavailable )..
How can i do this…
