Have you looked at Contacts Provider Api? Seems they don't do it the way you do. I would suggest starting with the Uri information.

EDIT: Seems that the activity uses two ways to call startactivityforresult(). Maybe after reading the Activity guide you'll have better insight.

Well hopefully your code is better than your English otherwise I don't think you're following it to the letter. – Eric Fossum Dec 11 '12 at 17:43
