/**
 * This fragment displays a list of contacts stored in the Contacts Provider. Each item in the list
 * shows the contact's thumbnail photo and display name. On devices with large screens, this
 * fragment's UI appears as part of a two-pane layout, along with the UI of
 * {@link ContactDetailFragment}. On smaller screens, this fragment's UI appears as a single pane.
 *
 * This Fragment retrieves contacts based on a search string. If the user doesn't enter a search
 * string, then the list contains all the contacts in the Contacts Provider. If the user enters a
 * search string, then the list contains only those contacts whose data matches the string. The
 * Contacts Provider itself controls the matching algorithm, which is a "substring" search: if the
 * search string is a substring of any of the contacts data, then there is a match.
 *
 * On newer API platforms, the search is implemented in a SearchView in the ActionBar; as the user
 * types the search string, the list automatically refreshes to display results ("type to filter").
 * On older platforms, the user must enter the full string and trigger the search. In response, the
 * trigger starts a new Activity which loads a fresh instance of this fragment. The resulting UI
 * displays the filtered list and disables the search feature to prevent furthering searching.
