Answer 1

here is the code to get all contacts with checkbox :

ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);

if (cur.getCount() > 0) {
  while (cur.moveToNext()) {
    String id = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
    String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
    if (Integer.parseInt(cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
      // This inner cursor is for contacts that have multiple numbers.
      Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", new String[] { id }, null);
      while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
        phoneContactList.add(name);
        Log.i("Contact List", name);
      }
      pCur.close();
    }
  }

  Collections.sort(phoneContactList);
  cnt = phoneContactList.size();

  listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.drawable.multiple_contact_selector, phoneContactList));
  listView.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);

}
cur.close();
