    @WorkerThread
    fun getRecentCallsLogs(context: Context) {
        val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(Calls.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, Calls.DATE + " DESC")
        if ((cursor?.count ?: 0) == 0) {
            cursor?.close()

        }
        var itemsScannedSoFar = 0
        cursor.moveToFirst()
        while (!cursor.isAfterLast) {
            Log.d("AppLog", "call log:" + DatabaseUtils.dumpCurrentRowToString(cursor))
            cursor.moveToNext()
        }
        cursor.close()
    }
