            Cursor c = cr.query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
            if (c.moveToFirst()) {
                String id = c
                        .getString(c
                                .getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                long cId = (long)Double.parseDouble(id);

                String name = c
                        .getString(c

                if (hasPhoneNumber > 0) {
                    // this contact
                    Cursor phoneCursor = cr
                            .query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                                    null,
                                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID

                                        .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                        Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),
                                id + " " + name + " " + phoneNumber,
                                Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                    }
                    phoneCursor.close();
                }

Answer 1

In the above after assigning value to the

String phoneNumber = phoneCursor .getString(phoneCursor .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

store the same value in the INTENT object i.e

Intent data

like data.putExtra("phoneNumber",phoneNumber);

and after the start the new activity which you want to invoke like below

startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, data));

in the new activity get the above value from intent

Intent intentWithPhoneNumbers = getIntent(); if(null!=intentWithPhoneNumbers.getExtras()){ String phoneNumber= intentWithPhoneNumbers.getExtras().getString("phoneNumber"); }
