shared preference can be used to retrieve the data,here my point is to open WHATS APP contact list. Its nothing to relate with shared preference – Yushi Feb 21 '14 at 05:52

I'm not at 100% sure, but I think WhatsApp does not have a API or so you could use and because WhatsApp also only reads the contact list and compare this with their database, it seems that there is no way. I know that there were API's, but they weren't made by WhatsApp themself and were deleted for "WhatsApp Inc.'s copyrights and trademarks". I read that this was a libary or API or something like this for WhatsApp: https://github.com/tgalal/yowsup But it's also deleted for DMCA issues.
