Getting favourites contacts in Android

Question

I am trying to get all contacts in the favourites list of the Android contacts. Currently, I can get all the group ids including the favourite group ID. But it seems that there is no contacts that have the group ID as the favourite group ID.

I'm trying to get All groups id and contacts in each group. After printing two list, I found that the group id of favorite is not in the contact list

ArrayList favGroupId=new ArrayList();
        final String[] GROUP_PROJECTION = new String[] {
                ContactsContract.Groups._ID, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE };
        Cursor  cursor = getContentResolver().query(
        ContactsContract.Groups.CONTENT_URI, GROUP_PROJECTION, null,
                null, ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE);

        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            String id = cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Groups._ID));
            Log.v("Test",id);

            String gTitle = (cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Groups.TITLE)));

            Log.v("Test",gTitle);
            if (gTitle.contains("Favorite_")) {
                gTitle = "Favorites";
                favGroupId.add(id);
            }
        }
        cursor.close();

Here is the complete method to get contact details with favorite in Java

ContentResolver contentResolver = context.getContentResolver();

    if (contentResolver == null)
        return;

    String[] fieldListProjection = {
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER,
            ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NORMALIZED_NUMBER,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER,
            ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_URI
            ,ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED
    };
    String sort = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME_PRIMARY + " ASC";
    Cursor phones = contentResolver
            .query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI
                    , fieldListProjection, null, null, sort);
    HashSet normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound = new HashSet<>();

    if (phones != null && phones.getCount() > 0) {
        while (phones.moveToNext()) {
            String normalizedNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));

            if (Integer.parseInt(phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(
                    ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                if (normalizedNumbersAlreadyFound.add(normalizedNumber)) {

                    int id = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID));
                    String name = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME));
                    String phoneNumber = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER));

                    int fav = phones.getInt(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.STARRED));
                    boolean isFav;
                    isFav= fav == 1;

                    String uri = phones.getString(phones.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI));
                    if(uri!=null){
                        contactList.add(new FavContact(id,isFav,name,phoneNumber,uri));
                    }
                    else{
                        contactList.add(new FavContact(id,isFav,name,phoneNumber));
                    }

                }
            }
        }
        phones.close();
    }
