In my app, when launched I would like to display all the contacts with search filter option. I have achieved this but the problem is – while loading the contacts, it takes more time. How can I improve the efficiency of the code ? Below code snippet shows how I am retreiving contacts:

public ContactList newContactList(Context ctx) {

ContactList contacts = new ContactList();

String id = "";

String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";

try {

    this.cur = this.cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, sortOrder);       
    if (this.cur.getCount() > 0) {
        while (cur.moveToNext()) {
            Contact c = new Contact();
            id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                c.setId(id);
                c.setDisplayName(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));
                c.setPhone(this.getPhoneNumbers(ctx, id));
                c.setEmail(this.getEmailAddresses(id));
                c.setNotes(this.getContactNotes(id));
                c.setAddresses(this.getContactAddresses(id));
                c.setImAddresses(this.getIM(id));
                c.setOrganization(this.getContactOrg(id));
                //c.setPicture(loadContactPhoto(cr, cur.getLong(cur.getColumnIndex(CommonDataKinds.Photo.CONTACT_ID))));
                contacts.addContact(c);
            }               
        }
    }
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        throw new IllegalStateException(e);
    }
    finally
    {
        cur.close();            
    }

    return(contacts);
}

ContactList is a class that returns ArrayList of all contacts, and with this arraylist I am setting it to my custom adapter class. I guess, because of fetching arraylist by itereating through cursor is taking much time. But, I would need this arraylist to filter the contacts based on search criteria and to display the custom contact list. Is there any way that I can improve the performance of the code?
