                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
                new String[] { Phone._ID, Phone.DISPLAY_NAME, Phone.NUMBER },

//      //          Log.i("CURSOR COLUMN IS ", ""+cursor.getColumnCount());
        for (int i = 0; i < cursor.getCount(); i++) {
            contactName.add(cursor.getString(1));
        //  //        //          Log.i("NAME OF LIST CONTACT", "" + cursor.getString(3));
