Is it possible to retrieve the contacts without using Activity class?

Question

I'm using LWUIT for developing android application. I need to retrieve the contacts from android phonebook. How its possible?

Because normally retrieve contacts process achieved in inside of extend Activity class. ( I seen some examples).

In LWUIT, They created own Activity class. So i need to achieve some other class not in activity class.

How its possible?

Contacts are available from the android.provider.Contacts (Android 1.6 and earlier) and android.provider.ContactsContract (Android 2.0 and newer) content providers. You do not need an activity to query those content providers using a ContentResolver.

@bhakki: You do not need an activity to do anything with those content providers. Just use a `ContentResolver`. – CommonsWare Nov 25 '10 at 14:15
