I cannot access the phone numbers of my contacts and can't figure out why.
private void getContacts(){
Cursor people = mCon.getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
if (people.moveToFirst()) {
do {
int nameFieldColumnIndex = people.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME);
String contact = people.getString(nameFieldColumnIndex).toLowerCase();
int numberFieldColumnIndex = people.getColumnIndex(PhoneLookup.NUMBER);
String number = people.getString(numberFieldColumnIndex);
hm.put(contact, number);
}while(people.moveToNext());
}
people.close();
}
The names are going into the hashmap fine but numberFieldColumnIndex keeps coming out as -1
I output the column headings of people and there is not one for number? How can I retrieve them?

Following code shows an easy way to read all phone numbers and names:
Cursor phones = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
while (phones.moveToNext())
{
String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
phones.close();
