Can't get contacts using Intent.ACTION_PICK

I am trying to get a contact from contact-list but for some reason I can't get it. I have folowed some guides. This is my code:

public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
   switch (item.getItemId()) {
      case R.id.menu_ice_add:
          Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
          startActivityForResult(intent, RequestCodes.PICK_CONTACT);
          return true;          
      default:
         return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
   }
}

When I debug, It always goes to default case, it returns super.onOptionItemSelected(item);

@SuppressLint("InlinedApi")
@Override
public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {

    // se comprueba de qué activity está volviendo
    switch(requestCode) {       
    case (RequestCodes.PICK_CONTACT) :
          if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK) {
              Uri contactData = data.getData();

              ContactUtils.addContactInfo(getActivity(), contactData, adapter);

          }             
          break;
    }

    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
}

It never starts onActivityResult.

Can anybody give me a hint? I would appreciate it a lot. Thank you.

EDIT 1

I must say that this code works on Android 2.3, but it doesn't work on KitKat (those are the devices I have)

EDIT 2

I have added android.permission.READ_CONTACTS in menifest

EDIT 3 (SOLVED)

The problems was not the Intent. I am using Fragments and I was calling onActivityResult, but I didn't know I had to do "super.onActivityResult(arg0,arg1,arg2)" on the activity where my Fragment is attached.

I will not delete the question because maybe this could be helpful.

Thanxs anyway to everybody.

Then you have the wrong item ID in your case statement, or your R class is out of sync with your resources (clean your project, such as Project > Clean in Eclipse, to clear up that problem).

It never starts onActivityResult.

That is because you are not calling startActivityForResult(), due to the problem with your menu resources and onOptionsItemSelected() implementation, noted above.

Also note that you do not need READ_CONTACTS for the uses shown in your code, though you may need it for whatever is in ContactUtils.addContactInfo().

FWIW, this directory contains five sample projects, all of which successfully use ACTION_PICK for ContactsContracts.Contacts.CONTENT_URI. The differences between the projects come down to how they handle configuration changes (e.g., screen rotation).
