In my test app, I use startSubActivity() with new Intent(Intent.PICK_ACTION, new ContentURI("content://contacts/ people")) to retrieve data as ContentURI for the contact user has selected - "content://contacts/people/2"

Now, how do I directly get to the contact's name and phone number without using query and cursor?

My reason is that if user has already picked the contact they want, I should not go through the same process again.
