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();
