With some extra, useful code:

getFavoriteContacts:

Map getFavoriteContacts(){
Map contactMap = new HashMap();

Uri queryUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;

String[] projection = new String[] {
        ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
        ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
        ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED};

String selection =ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED + "='1'";

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(queryUri, projection, selection,null,null);


while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    String contactID = cursor.getString(cursor
            .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));

    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
    Uri uri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, String.valueOf(contactID));
    intent.setData(uri);
    String intentUriString = intent.toUri(0);

    String title = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)));

    contactMap.put(title,intentUriString);

}
cursor.close();
return contactMap;
}

getRecentContacts:

Map getRecentContacts(){
Map contactMap = new HashMap();

Uri queryUri = android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI;

String[] projection = new String[] {
        ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
        CallLog.Calls._ID,
        CallLog.Calls.NUMBER,
        CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME,
        CallLog.Calls.DATE};

String sortOrder = String.format("%s limit 500 ", CallLog.Calls.DATE + " DESC");


Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(queryUri, projection, null,null,sortOrder);


while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
    String phoneNumber = cursor.getString(cursor
            .getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.NUMBER));

    String title = (cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(CallLog.Calls.CACHED_NAME)));

    if(phoneNumber==null||title==null)continue;

    String uri = "tel:" + phoneNumber ;
    Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_CALL);
    intent.setData(Uri.parse(uri));
    String intentUriString = intent.toUri(0);

    contactMap.put(title,intentUriString);

}
cursor.close();
return contactMap;
}

For getting recent calls list,you can use CallLog in android. Here is a good tutorial.This is also helpful.

You can use it for all outgoing calls like this :

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,null, android.provider.CallLog.Calls.TYPE+"="+android.provider.CallLog.Calls.OUTGOING_TYPE, null,null);

For all types of calls,use it like:

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(android.provider.CallLog.Calls.CONTENT_URI,null, null, null,null);
