Android Contact Phone, Address and Name Intent

Question

I'm using a basic Intent to grab a contact in Android Studio. Once a contact is selected, I want to extract address (home), phone and name. I'm currently only able to get name/address or name/phone. I'm not able to get all 3 because of the intent type I believe.

The issue begins in addDeliveryItem() with the intent. Depending on the intent type, I can pull phone number or address. I need both!!!

Something curious I noticed: My getContactIDFromURI() returns a different contact ID depending on the intent type.

I have made a big edit to this post in hopes that I can find an answer. I have now included the entire .java file in case you can spot any problems. I'm going crazy and would send some serious love to whoever can figure this one out :(.

            try {
                rAddress = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS));
            }catch(Exception e){
                return "nope";
            }
        }

        cursor.close();
        return rAddress;
    }
}

Can I set the intent type to be able to retrieve all the data I need? I obviously don't want to have to select the contact again.

I'm very sorry if this is a simple question. I'm still new with Android development :).

Edit: here are my functions for retrieving contact phone, name and address given URI. They all work with different intent types.

As mentioned by @Shaik you can try this to get a Contact ID

public static int getContactIDFromNumber(String contactNumber,Context context)
{
    contactNumber = Uri.encode(contactNumber);
    int phoneContactID = new Random().nextInt();
    Cursor contactLookupCursor = context.getContentResolver().query(Uri.withAppendedPath(PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI,Uri.contactNumber),new String[] {PhoneLookup.DISPLAY_NAME, PhoneLookup._ID}, null, null, null);
        while(contactLookupCursor.moveToNext()){
            phoneContactID = contactLookupCursor.getInt(contactLookupCursor.getColumnIndexOrThrow(PhoneLookup._ID));
            }
        contactLookupCursor.close();

    return phoneContactID;
}

In order to get Contact name,id,photo,phone you can refer this Gist. It gives you a clear explanation. For getting the address of the contact you have to modify the code in the Gist and add a new function, which is something like given below.

// get the contact ID

Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(data.getData(), null, null, null, null);
cursor.moveToFirst();
long id = cursor.getLong(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
cursor.close();

// get the data package containg the postal information for the contact
cursor = getContentResolver().query(ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI, 
    new String[]{ StructuredPostal.STREET,
        StructuredPostal.CITY,
// add more coluns from StructuredPostal if you need them
        StructuredPostal.POSTCODE},
        ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=? AND " +
            StructuredPostal.MIMETYPE + "=?",
        new String[]{String.valueOf(id), StructuredPostal.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE},
        null);


Street = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.STREET));
Postcode = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.POSTCODE));
City = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(StructuredPostal.CITY)));
// etc. 

This worked for me. You can try it and let me know if you have some troubles.
