Question

I am using Android 2.1 platform, I have 7 contacts in my emulator when I try to retrieve the email of the contacts it will be working but not in the order I saved in the contact List.If I created a new contact with new email,it will go to the last.I am using this code.

Code

public class RetrieveData extends Activity {

ListView lvItem;
private Button btnAdd;
String displayName="", emailAddress="", phoneNumber="";
ArrayList<String> contactlist=new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayAdapter<String> itemAdapter;


@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);
   lvItem = (ListView)this.findViewById(R.id.listview);  
   btnAdd = (Button)this.findViewById(R.id.btn);
   itemAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,contactlist);
   lvItem.setAdapter(itemAdapter);
   btnAdd.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
       public void onClick(View v) {
           GetEmails();

       }
   }); 
}

private void GetEmails()
    {


    ContentResolver cr =getContentResolver();
    Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
    while (cursor.moveToNext()) 
    {       
        String id = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
        Cursor emails = cr.query(Email.CONTENT_URI,null,Email.CONTACT_ID + " = " + id, null, null);
        while (emails.moveToNext()) 
        {               
            emailAddress = emails.getString(emails.getColumnIndex(Email.DATA));
            contactlist.add(emailAddress);
            itemAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
        }
        emails.close();

    }
    cursor.close(); 
}
}

xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
