Use this code:

void showContacts()
{
    Intent i = new Intent();
    i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.android.contacts", "com.android.contacts.DialtactsContactsEntryActivity"));
    i.setAction("android.intent.action.MAIN");
    i.addCategory("android.intent.category.LAUNCHER");
    i.addCategory("android.intent.category.DEFAULT");
    startActivity(i);
}

Or use this code to get all the contacts without lauching a new intent:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT);

@Override
public void onActivityResult(int reqCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
  super.onActivityResult(reqCode, resultCode, data);

  switch (reqCode) {
    case (PICK_CONTACT) :
      if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
        Uri contactData = data.getData();
        Cursor c =  managedQuery(contactData, null, null, null, null);
        if (c.moveToFirst()) {
          String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME));
          // TODO Whatever you want to do with the selected contact name.
        }
      }
      break;
  }
}

Also don't forget to set this permission:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
