In the Contacts provider, the "connections" of a Contact are just all the entries in RawContacts for that particular CONTACT_ID. And their data is stored in the Data table.

Therefore, to get all the info on all the connections of a contact, it's enough to query the Data table with the appropriate filter. For example:

private static void getConnections(Context context, int contactId)
{
    // Read all data for contactId
    String selection = RawContacts.CONTACT_ID + " = ?";
    String[] selectionArgs = new String[] { String.valueOf(contactId) };

    Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, null, selection, selectionArgs, null);
    while (c.moveToNext())
    {
        String accountType = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE));
        String accountName = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME));
        String dataMimeType = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE));
        String dataValue = c.getString(c.getColumnIndexOrThrow(ContactsContract.Data.DATA1));

        Log.d("contactInfo", accountName + " (" + accountType + ") - " + dataMimeType + " - " + dataValue);
    }

    c.close();
}

You can filter this data by using more restrictive selection / selectionArgs arguments (such as for a specific ACCOUNT_TYPE, MIMETYPE, and so forth).

Of course, you need the appropriate permission in AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

@RavindraKushwaha Actually, it should show all the fields (`dataMimeType` and `dataValue`) for all connections of a particular contact. – matiash Dec 25 '14 at 21:04

@RavindraKushwaha Strange, I've tested it and it works. Are you sure you're passing in a contact id that _does_ have a Whatsapp connection? To get the list of contacts that do have one, see http://stackoverflow.com/a/24276984/82788 – matiash Dec 26 '14 at 13:25
hello brother i do not want to bother you...and please do not worry about the bounty..i am assuring you that i will provide only you these bounty with in 2- 3 days... these is the code which i am using to get the third api connection of contact list contacts.. please check it Cursor c = cr.query(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI, new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE}, ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID +"=?", new String[]{String.valueOf(contactId)}, null); – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 29 '14 at 04:54
@RavindraKushwaha Yes, that code will give you the raw contacts associated to a contact, but not their data. Sorry but now I am somewhat confused as to what you're trying to achieve... :( – matiash Dec 29 '14 at 13:37
Sir i want to retrieve from contact list user which can have(facebook,whatapp,google+) connection..Please can you give one proper query for it by that i can resolve my problem....thanks bro – Ravindra Kushwaha Dec 29 '14 at 13:48

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));
            Cursor cur1 = cr.query( 
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_URI, null,
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", 
                            new String[]{id}, null); 
            while (cur1.moveToNext()) { 
                //to get the contact names
                String name=cur1.getString(cur1.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                Log.e("Name :", name);
                String email = cur1.getString(cur1.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DATA));
                Log.e("Email", email);
                if(email!=null){
                    names.add(name);
                }
            } 
            cur1.close();
        }
    }

This is the solution, it's using a Whatsapp-like third party API:

Cursor connectionCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI,
                            new String[]{ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE},
                            ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTACT_ID +"=?",
                            new String[]{String.valueOf(id)},
                            null);
System.out.println("TOTAL NUMBERS OF COUNTS====================="+connectionCur.getCount());
if (connectionCur != null && connectionCur.getCount() >0)
{
    while (connectionCur.moveToNext()) 
    {
        String accountName = connectionCur.getString(connectionCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_NAME));
        String accountType = connectionCur.getString(connectionCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE));

        if(accountType.contains("whatsapp"))
        {
            Toast.makeText(LoginScreen.this, "whatsapp == "+accountType, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        else if(accountType.contains("google"))
        {
            Toast.makeText(LoginScreen.this, "google == "+accountType, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        else if(accountType.contains("facebook"))
        {
            Toast.makeText(LoginScreen.this, "facebook == "+accountType, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        else if(accountType.contains("twitter"))
        {
            Toast.makeText(LoginScreen.this, "twitter == "+accountType, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        else if(accountType.contains("linkedin"))
        {
            Toast.makeText(LoginScreen.this, "linkedin == "+accountType, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
        System.out.println("a========="+accountName+"   b====="+accountType);   
    }
}
