Answer 1

Use following code to get contacts from device

String[] PROJECTION=new String[] {Contacts._ID,
                Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
                Phone.NUMBER
            };

            Cursor c=managedQuery(Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                PROJECTION, null, null, null);
                if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                    String ClsPhonename = null;
                    String ClsphoneNo = null;

                    do 
                    {
                        ClsPhonename = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
                        ClsphoneNo = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Phone.NUMBER));
                        ClsphoneNo.replaceAll("\\D", "");
                        ClsPhonename=ClsPhonename.replaceAll("&", "");
                        ClsPhonename.replace("|","");
                        String ClsPhoneName=ClsPhonename.replace("|","");


                    } while(c.moveToNext());
            }

Then You can add all numbers and names in two arraylist and display in list in first tab
