Use ContentProvider components in your application.
ContentProvider definition according to Android documentation:

Content providers can help an application manage access to data stored by itself, stored by other apps, and provide a way to share data with other apps. They encapsulate the data, and provide mechanisms for defining data security.
Follow the link to learn about content provider codetutor

else follow the vogella tutorial about contacts
