private String retrieveContactNumber(String contactName) {
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Name: " + contactName);
Cursor cursorPhone = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,
new String[]{ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER},
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " = ? AND " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE + " = " +
ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE,
new String[]{contactName},

contactNumber = cursorPhone.getString(cursorPhone.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
}
cursorPhone.close();
Log.d(TAG, "Contact Phone Number: " + contactNumber);
return contactNumber;
}
