I’m trying out the LoaderCursor example in the API Demo:

import android.widget.SearchView;

// Create the list fragment and add it as our sole content.

}
The above codes try to load contacts information from “People” app. But the LoaderCursor stops while loading:

This is the first time I come across issues of Loader and I have no idea what’s going wrong here. So what could be the cause?
You’re just missing the android.permission.READ_CONTACTS permission in your Android manifest file. You can see that the System is throwing a SecurityException.
Just open the XML file and add this line to it:
Otherwise the system want grant you access to the contacts to protect the user (result of the sandbox concept).
