Android - back from Contacts intent without selecting one

Question

In my android application I have a list of people (name and telephone number) and I let the user add a person to the app's database by importing one from their contacts list. Everything works fine, but a user could click the button to import a new person and then go back, so the Contacts intent will be closed without actually selecting a contact.

So I need to know where to put an if, or something else, in my code in order to see whether the user selected a contact or not.

private void pickContact() {
    Intent pickContactIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Uri.parse("content://contacts"));
    pickContactIntent.setType(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_TYPE); // Show user only contacts w/ phone numbers
    startActivityForResult(pickContactIntent, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    // Check which request it is that we're responding to
    if (requestCode == PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST) {
        // Make sure the request was successful
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            // Get the URI that points to the selected contact
            Uri contactUri = data.getData();

            String[] projection = {ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER};

            Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(contactUri, null, null, null, null);
            cursor.moveToFirst();

            // Retrieve the name from the DISPLAY_NAME column
            String name =  cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ontactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));

            // Retrieve the phone number from the NUMBER column
            int column = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
            String number = cursor.getString(column);

            // update database
            dbManager.addPerson(name, number, true);
        }
    }

}

So how can I check if the user actually selected a contact or went back?

So I need to know where to put an if, or something else, in my code in order to see whether the user selected a contact or not.

You already have the code for this: if (resultCode == RESULT_OK). If the user presses BACK, you will not get RESULT_OK.
