java – IllegalArgumentException readExceptionFromParcel

I got this error from one of my users. I don't know how to solve it

java. Lang.illegalargumentexception exception databaseutils readExceptionFromParcel()

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: URI: content://com.android.contacts/phone_lookup/,calling user: com.piroja.contactpicker,calling package:com.piroja.contactpicker at android.database.DatabaseUtils.readExceptionFromParcel(DatabaseUtils.java:144)

This is the contactexists function I'm calling (I think) that causes a forced shutdown:

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);
            try {
                if (cur.moveToFirst()) {
                    return true;
                }
            } finally {
                if (cur != null)
                    cur.close();
            }
        } catch (IllegalArgumentException iae) {
            return false;
        }
        return false;
    }

I also tried to put phone CONTENT_ FILTER_ Change the URI to phonelookup CONTENT_ FILTER_ URI, but it doesn't change anything... Does anyone have a clue?

Solution

There is a problem with the telephone query URI It appears from the exception text that it is missing a phone number Are you sure the number is not empty, not empty?
