Retrieval Of Firstname And Lastname From Android Contacts Results In '1' And 'null'

I am retrieving firstname and lastname from the android contact using the below code.DISPLAY_NAME gives back the name of the contact while firstname and lastname returns 1 and null

Solution 1:

The following code will help you get first name and last name:

Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
Uri dataUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(contactUri, Contacts.Data.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
Cursor nameCursor = getActivity().getContentResolver().query(
        dataUri,
        null,
        Data.MIMETYPE+"=?",
        new String[]{ StructuredName.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE },
        null);
           while (nameCursor.moveToNext())
            {

                String      firstName = nameCursor.getString(nameCursor.getColumnIndex(Data.DATA2));
                String  lastName = nameCursor.getString(nameCursor.getColumnIndex(Data.DATA3));

                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "First name"+firstName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Second name"+lastName, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                return new String [] {firstName , lastName};
            }

           nameCursor.close();
