Question

I am using this code below to pick a contact number , but some contacts have more than one number, how can I select one of the contact numbers?

Cselect.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
              startActivityForResult(intent, 0);     
            }
            });

In the result, you should get a Uri. From this, you will be able to grab a Cursor, and then iterate over the cursor to grab the information you require. I would advise you dump the cursor into the Logs so you can see what is returned, by using the DatabaseUtils class.

The following is a snippet of how you can retrieve the Cursor and iterate over it:

    if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Uri contactData = data.getData();
        Cursor c = managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
        if (c.moveToFirst()) {
            String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(People.NAME));
            txtContacts.setText(name);
        }
    }
