Retrieving phone number from contact id : android

I'm trying to get contact data once a contact name has been clicked from my list view. As per the code below, I can log successfully the ID of my contact, but haven't managed to use the ContactsContract to retrieve the data. What's the best way to do this? (have tried Retrieve Contact Phone Number From URI in Android to not much avail)

EDIT 2 : Fixed code, now works

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
        Log.v(TAG, "Activity State: onCreate()");
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.contact_manager);
        mContactList = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.contactList);
        populateContactList();

        mContactList.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            String strid = Long.toString(id);               
            Cursor result = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, ContactsContract.Contacts._ID +" = ?", new String[]{strid}, null);
            if (result.moveToFirst()) { 
                 Cursor c = getContentResolver().query(Data.CONTENT_URI,
                          new String[] {Data._ID, Phone.NUMBER, Phone.TYPE, Phone.LABEL},
                          Data.RAW_CONTACT_ID + "=?" + " AND "
                                  + Data.MIMETYPE + "='" + Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE + "'",
                          new String[] {String.valueOf(strid)}, null);
                 if(c.moveToFirst()){
                     int phoneColumn = c.getColumnIndex("data1");
                     String phoneNumber = c.getString(phoneColumn);
                     Log.d("DATA",phoneNumber);
                 }
            }
        });
    }

EDIT 1 : forgot some important stuff. The code is adapted from the ContactManager example from the Android dev site.

/**
 * Populate the contact list based on account currently selected in the account spinner.
 */
private void populateContactList() {
    // Build adapter with contact entries
    Cursor cursor = getContacts();
    String[] fields = new String[] {
            ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME
    };
    SimpleCursorAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.contact_entry, cursor,
            fields, new int[] {R.id.contactEntryText});
    mContactList.setAdapter(adapter);
}

/**
 * Obtains the contact list for the currently selected account.
 *
 * @return A cursor for for accessing the contact list.
 */
private Cursor getContacts()
{
    // Run query
    Uri uri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
    String[] projection = new String[] {
            ContactsContract.Contacts._ID,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME
    };
    String selection = null;
    String[] selectionArgs = null;
    String sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC";

    return managedQuery(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder);
}

Assuming you have a valid contactID, you can do this:

Cursor result = managedQuery(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, 
         ContactsContract.Contacts._ID +" = ?", 
         new String[]{contactID}, null);      
if (result.moveToFirst()) {

    for(int i=0; i< result.getColumnCount(); i++){
        Log.i("CONTACTSTAG", result.getColumnName(i) + ": "
        + result.getString(i));
    }         
}

You will have to change the ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI and the where clause to the table that you are querying. The above code will print out a bunch of general info about a contact.
