    @Override

        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        String[] projection = new String[] { ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
                ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME };
        mContacts = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,
                projection, null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);

        SimpleCursorAdapter mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this,

    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View v, int position, long id) {
        if (mContacts.moveToPosition(position)) {
            int selectedId = mContacts.getInt(0); // _ID column
            Cursor address = getContentResolver().query(
                    ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.CONTENT_URI,
                    new String[] { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS },
                    ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + " = " + selectedId, null, null);
            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
            sb.append(address.getCount() + " Addresses\n");
            if (address.moveToFirst()) {
                do {
                    sb.append("Address:\n" + address.getString(0));
                } while (address.moveToNext());

            }

            AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
            builder.setTitle(mContacts.getString(1)); // Display name
            builder.setMessage(sb.toString());
            builder.setPositiveButton("OK", null);
            builder.create().show();
