Answer 1

Add this intent filter for your app to be visible for all contacts.

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.item/name" />
    </intent-filter>

Change the mimetype, so that only contacts with a particular data have your activity.

e.g if you want your activity to show only for contacts with email then change mimetype to vnd.android.cursor.item/email_v2 . You can get the mimetype names from the subclasses of DataColumns
