Displaying Contact Number and Contact Name in a custom list view

Question

Can anyone tell me how should i display the phone number and the contact name in a custom list view? The code is pasted below

import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.CheckBox;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;

public class AddContacts extends Activity implements OnClickListener {

    ListView list;
    Cursor cursor;
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter;
    String phoneNumber;
    Button AddNumber;
    EditText number1;
    EditText number2;
    EditText number3;
    String contact1;
    String contact2;
    CheckBox checkBox;
    String contact_name;

    static final String TAG = "In AddContacts";

    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.listview);
        AddNumber = (Button) findViewById(R.id.AddNumbers);
        number1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.NumberField1);
        number2 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.NumberField2);
        number3 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.NumberField3);
        AddNumber.setOnClickListener(this);
        list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lists);


        Log.d(TAG, "onCreate");



        Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null,
                null, null);

        String[] nameNumberArray = new String[cursor.getCount()];
        Log.d("rows", Integer.toString(cursor.getCount()));

        Log.d("phone", "here");
        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            String phoneNumber =

            cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));
            String name = cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
            Log.i("Number + Name", phoneNumber + name);
        }
        if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {

            int i = 0;
            if (cursor.moveToFirst()) {
                do {
                    phoneNumber = cursor
                            .getString(cursor
                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

                    contact_name = cursor
                            .getString(cursor
                                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
                    nameNumberArray[i] = contact_name + "  , " + phoneNumber;
                    i++;
                } while (cursor.moveToNext());
            }

        }

        final String[] FROM = { nameNumberArray[0], nameNumberArray[1] };
        final int[] TO = { R.id.contact_name, R.id.phone_number, };
        adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.row, cursor, FROM, TO);
        list.setAdapter(adapter);
        cursor.close();
    }

    @Override
    public void onClick(View v) {


        Log.d(TAG, "onClicked method");


    }
}

The ROW.xml file is a custom listView with a checkbox and two textView to it. The code pulls the data from the contacts and displays it in the LogCat. I cant figure out how to display the name and the number in my custom view using simpleCursorAdapter.

The row.xml file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/contact_name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:text="John Doe"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/phone_number"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_below="@+id/contact_name"
        android:text="(999)999-9999"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

    <CheckBox
        android:id="@+id/checkBox_id"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

Can anyone guide me? Thanks.

Since op asked for the solution using custom adapter i have posted the below.(from the comments)

Display.java

public class Display extends Activity implements OnItemClickListener{

    List<String> name1 = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> phno1 = new ArrayList<String>();
    MyAdapter ma ;
    Button select;
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.display);

        getAllContacts(this.getContentResolver());
        ListView lv= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.lv);
            ma = new MyAdapter();
            lv.setAdapter(ma);
            lv.setOnItemClickListener(this); 
            lv.setItemsCanFocus(false);
            lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
            // adding
           select = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        select.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
        {

            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                  StringBuilder checkedcontacts= new StringBuilder();
                System.out.println(".............."+ma.mCheckStates.size());
                for(int i = 0; i < name1.size(); i++)

                    {
                    if(ma.mCheckStates.get(i)==true)
                    {
                         checkedcontacts.append(name1.get(i).toString());
                         checkedcontacts.append("\n");

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        System.out.println("Not Checked......"+name1.get(i).toString());
                    }


                }

                Toast.makeText(Display.this, checkedcontacts,1000).show();
            }       
        });


    }
    @Override
    public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int arg2, long arg3) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
         ma.toggle(arg2);
    }

    public  void getAllContacts(ContentResolver cr) {

        Cursor phones = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, null,null,null, null);
        while (phones.moveToNext())

          System.out.println(".................."+phoneNumber); 
          name1.add(name);

                mCheckStates.put(position, isChecked);

                notifyDataSetChanged();
            }

            public void toggle(int position) {

        }   
    }   
}

display.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

   <ListView
       android:layout_width="match_parent"
       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
       android:layout_above="@+id/button1"

       android:id="@+id/lv"/>

     <Button
         android:id="@+id/button1"
         android:layout_width="wrap_content"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
         android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
         android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
         android:text="Select" />

</RelativeLayout>

Explanation:

The above uses a Custom Adapter. A custom layout row.xml with 2 textviews and one checkbox is inflated for each row. getAllContacts() will get all contacts from the contacts list and you store them in a list.

Custom Adapter displays the items in a custom layout inflated for each row.

When you check the check box and click display displays a toast with selected contacts name.
