  <p>This is the contactExists funcion i'm calling which (i think) is causing the force close:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public boolean contactExists(Context context, String number) {
          try {
              Uri lookupUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI, Uri
                      .encode(number));
              String[] mPhoneNumberProjection = { Phone._ID, Phone.NUMBER,
                      Phone.DISPLAY_NAME };
              Cursor cur = context.getContentResolver().query(lookupUri,
                      mPhoneNumberProjection, null, null, null);
              try {
                  if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
                      return true;
                  }
              } finally {
                  if (cur != null)
                      cur.close();
              }
          } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
              return false;
          }
          return false;
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have also tried to change Phone.CONTENT_FILTER_URI to PhoneLookup.CONTENT_FILTER_URI but it didn't change anything... Does anyone have a clue?</p>
