Getting Android Contacts Cursor Exception

Question

I'm trying to get a contact's number that the user selects. The problem is, whenever a contact is selected from the list, it throws this exception :

android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index 0 requested, with a size of 0

This occurs with any contact, even those with multiple phone numbers.

The only examples that opened the contact list for me :

Pick a Number and Name From Contacts List in android app

How to read contacts on Android 2.0

Android contacts database giving me an exception

They all produce the same error for me.

My code :

Calling the intent

public void pickPerson(View V)
{
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK,
                               ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
    intent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE);
    startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);
}

Getting the phone number

//Declcared earlier
static final int PICK_CONTACT=1;

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) 
{
    super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);

    switch (reqCode) 
    {
        case (PICK_CONTACT) :
        {
            if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) 
            {

                Uri contactData = data.getData();
                Cursor c =  getContentResolver().query(contactData, null, null, null, null);
                if (c.moveToFirst()) 
                {
                    String id =c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

                    String hasPhone =c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER));

                    if (hasPhone.equalsIgnoreCase("1")) 
                    {
                        Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query( 
                              ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null, 
                              ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = "+ id, 
                              null, null);
                        phones.moveToFirst();
                        String cNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.NUMBER));
                        phone.setText(cNumber); //EditText view
                    }
                }
            }
            break;
        }
    }
}

                            contactWrap.add(new ContactsWrapper(contactId, display_name, phoneNumber,lookupKey,false,color_string));

                    }
                } catch (Exception e) {

                    e.printStackTrace();
                }  
            }
            controller.contactWrapper = contactWrap;
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            // TODO: handle exception
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        constants.dismissDialog();

        adapter = new ContactsAdapter(cntx);
        contactsList.setAdapter(adapter);
    }

}

and this is my contact wrapper class

public class ContactsWrapper {

private long contactId;
private String displayName,displayNumber,lookUp;
public boolean checked = true;
int color_string;

public ContactsWrapper(long contactId, String displayName, String displayNumber, String lookUp, boolean checked,int color_string) {
    // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    this.contactId = contactId;
    this.displayName = displayName;
    this.displayNumber = displayNumber;
    this.lookUp = lookUp;
    this.checked = checked;
    this.color_string =color_string;
}

public String getLookUp() {
    return lookUp;
}

public int getColor_string() {
    return color_string;
}

public boolean isChecked() {
    return checked;
}

public long getContactId() {
    return contactId;
}

public String getDisplayName() {
    return displayName;
}

public String getDisplayNumber() {
    return displayNumber;
}

public void setChecked(boolean checked) {
    this.checked = checked;
}
}

How would I use this? I'm newer to andriod programming. But when I used the ReadContacts class, eclipse cannot find the Constants, DataController and ContactsAdapter classes. — ADiabeticBadger, Nov 29 '13 at 17:48
