Understand android contact database

Getting the contact photo is such a big pain.

To understand what uri to use to get the info. It's better that you can view the database directly. 

This is how:

Create an android emulator with SD card and save few contacts. 

Use this command to dump the sql lite dataase.

adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/contacts2.db contacts2.db

Use the sqlite browser to view the sqlite database. 

The last part of content provider URI is ID.

For example, 

content://com.android.contacts/data/136

point to table data where id = 136.
