Hope you are able to get the details by querying the Content providers.

If so, once you have got info in your cursor you can add the same to an ArrayList as you need

For Eg:
ArrayList <String> nameList = new ArrayList <String> () ;
ArrayList <Integer> numberList = new ArrayList <Integer> () ;
while ( cur.movenext() ){
    nameList.add ( <get your data from cursor here> ) ;
    numberList.add ( <get your data from cursor here> ) ;
}

// Use the array list as you wish...

Hope this helps
