I`m currently developing an android application which is intend to call a user based on the user voice input. That is when user says a name (i.e "John"). i want to retrieve all the contacts from my contact list which contains that name with their contact number (i.e "John Mavel - +94715295296,John Cena - +94715295286, Marine Jone - +94715294568, Josh John Samuwel - +94715297895. etc"). And if there is only one contact with that name i want to make a call directly without giving any suggestions. By now i have implemented a code to make a call for a given hard coded name. and it takes a voice input.

            }

This code retrieves the contact based on the contact name:

Cursor contactLookupCursor =
        getContentResolver().query(
                Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,
                        Uri.encode("Rohan")),
                new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup.NUMBER},
                null,
                null,
                null);

try {
    while (contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()) {
        contactName = contactLookupCursor.getString(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME));
        contactNumber = contactLookupCursor.getString(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup.NUMBER));
    }
} finally {
    contactLookupCursor.close();
}

Hope this helps.

Ok, Try this, and let me know what happen,

Look at ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName class. You can find there all columns you are looking for.

 String whereName = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " = ?";
    String[] whereNameParams = new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE };
    Cursor nameCur = contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, whereName, whereNameParams, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME);
    while (nameCur.moveToNext()) {
        String given = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.GIVEN_NAME));
        String family = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.FAMILY_NAME));
        String display = nameCur.getString(nameCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredName.DISPLAY_NAME));
    }
    nameCur.close();

refrence, Look at this question How to get the firstname and lastname from android contacts?

You can find contacts with this code

String searchName = "john";
String name, number;
String columns[] = new String[] { People.NAME, People.NUMBER };
Uri mContacts = People.CONTENT_URI;
Cursor cur= getContentResolver().query(mContacts, columns, null,null, null);
if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
    do {
    name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(People.NAME));
    number = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(People.NUMBER));

    if((number!=null) && (name.toLowerCase().contains(searchName.toLowerCase()))){
     Toast.makeText(this, name, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show(); 
//              Add Contact to Search array.
        }
   } while (cur.moveToNext());
}

I have done this once, It was a bit lengthy but easy...

  1. I stored contacts in a string against names.
  2. searched string for my required person.

 String contacts = new String();

        if (ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS) != PackageManager.PERMISSION_GRANTED) {
            if (ActivityCompat.shouldShowRequestPermissionRationale(MainActivity.this, Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS)) {
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, 1);
            } else {
                ActivityCompat.requestPermissions(MainActivity.this, new String[]{Manifest.permission.READ_CONTACTS}, 1);
            }
            getContactDetails();
        } else {

            int flag = 1;
            ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
            Cursor cur = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
                    null, null, null, null);
            if ((cur != null ? cur.getCount() : 0) > 0) {
                while (cur != null && cur.moveToNext()) {
                    String id = cur.getString(
                            cur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
                    String name = cur.getString(cur.getColumnIndex(
                            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));

                    if (cur.getInt(cur.getColumnIndex(
                            ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER)) > 0) {
                        Cursor pCur = cr.query(
                                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                                null,
                                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?",
                                new String[]{id}, null);
                        while (pCur.moveToNext()) {
                            String phoneNo = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(
                                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
                            contacts= contacts+ name + ":" + phoneNo + "<br>";
                            flag++;
                        }
                        pCur.close();
                    }
                }
            }
            if (cur != null) {
                cur.close();
            }
        }
        return contacts;

This function return a string value...
