Bad request for field slot 0,-1. numRows = 164, numColumns = 63

Question

Hi I am trying to get data from Contacts Table through contentprovider but it Crashes every time when I started my app,

Here is my source code:

public class WebpreneurActivity extends ListActivity {



        private DBHandler dbHelper;

            private Cursor phones;
            ImageButton imageButton;
             public static long  rowId;
            @Override
            protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
                Log.d("database1" ,"0");
                Log.d("Your Location4", "ok4:");
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
                Log.d("database1" ,"1");
                setContentView(R.layout.activity_webpreneur);
                Log.d("database1" ,"2");
                //dbHelper = new DBHandler(this);
                Log.d("database1" ,"3");
            //  dbHelper.open();
                  phones = getContentResolver().query(
                            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
                            ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, null,
                            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
                  if (phones.getCount() > 0)  {
                        while (phones.moveToFirst()) {

                            if (Integer.parseInt(phones.getString(phones
                                            .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {


                                    String name = phones
                                            .getString(phones
                                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));

                                    String phoneNumber = phones
                                            .getString(phones
                                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                                    String contactId = phones
                                            .getString(phones
                                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
                                    System.out.println("contactId="+ contactId+ ", name=" + name + ", phoneNumber=" + phoneNumber);

                            }

                        }
                        phones.close();

                    }}}

And my Logcat is:

Just do not pass ContactsContract.Contacts._ID to query() request :

phones = getContentResolver().query(
                            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
                            null, null,
                            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

Update: Actually there are a few more problems in your code

There is no ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER column in ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone table. You should just take ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER and check if it's not empty.

Also you should use while (phones.moveToNext()) instead of while (phones.moveToFirst())

Please try this code:

phones = getContentResolver().query(
             ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,
             null, null,
             ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");
   if (phones.getCount() > 0)  {
         while (phones.moveToNext()) {

             String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
             if (!TextUtils.isEmpty(phoneNumber)) {


                     String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                     String contactId = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
                     System.out.println("contactId="+ contactId+ ", name=" + name + ", phoneNumber=" + phoneNumber);

             }

         }
