I am having error from getting contacts from phones to display in dialog

Question

  btn_add_from_contacts.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onClick(View v) {
            builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
            View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.layout_add_from_contacts, null);
            builder.setView(view);
            /* ********************* */
            phones = getActivity().getApplication().getContentResolver().query
            (ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
            null, null, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

            String name,phoneNumber;

            while(phones.moveToNext()) {
                name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

                Log.w("","Names: " +name+"\nPhone: "+phoneNumber);
                alertDialog = builder.create();
                alertDialog.show();
            }

            /* ********************* */




        }
    });

Here it is the code, all I want is to display my contacts from phone as here. I am just displaying it in while loop once but it is not giving me any output. Further I am using fragment. If any one knows what's wrong with code just help me out.

Here is the Logcat:

`alertDialog = builder.create(); alertDialog.show();` --> why you are using inside while loop — Jyoti JK, Mar 29 '18 at 09:23

One possibility it to add all the contacts to your

R.layout.layout_add_from_contacts

(would be helpful if it is vertical linear layout). You can do that by inflating and filling separate view, like

R.layout.contact_item,

(which you need to create) for every contact, and adding it to the linear layout, which will be used as a view for the dialog window.

Other easier solution would be to use ArrayAdapter, like here: How can I display a list view in an Android Alert Dialog?

You can do this to display contacts,

        final AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(getActivity());
        builder.setTitle("Contacts List");
        ArrayList<String> array=new ArrayList<String>();
        phones = getActivity().getApplication().getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
        null, null, null, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

        String name,phoneNumber;

        while(phones.moveToNext()) {
            name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
            phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

            Log.w("","Names: " +name+"\nPhone: "+phoneNumber);
            array.add(name+"-->"+phoneNumber);
        }
        builder.setItems(array, new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
                        @Override
                        public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int position) {
                        //item clicked   
                        }
                    });
        builder.show();
