Android : Not getting any contacts from contact list

Question

I am fetching contacts successfully by

 val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null)

but the problem occurs when I don't have any contacts in my contact list and I adding contacts in google account from web end, after I sync contact in my phone from this xxx@gmail account, All contacts display in my contact list but when I am trying to fetch contact then, It returns 0.

I don't know what is the problem, there is any other way to fetch this contacts!

If I insert new contact than I got this contact from above query, but can't find those contacts which I have added in web panel using google account.

Help me if you face this type of problem.

I am using this following code to fetch contacts

val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null)
    val projection = arrayOf(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID, ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.PHOTO_URI, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE)
    val alContacts = ArrayList<Contact>()
    var mMapContact = JSONObject()
    if (cursor!!.moveToFirst()) {
        do {
            val id = cursor!!.getString(cursor!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID))
            if (Integer.parseInt(cursor!!.getString(cursor!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
                val pCur = context.contentResolver.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID + " = ?", arrayOf<String>(id), ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC")
                var mListMobile = ArrayList<MobileType>()
                var mNameContact = ""
                while (pCur!!.moveToNext()) {
                    val number = pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER))
                    mNameContact = pCur!!.getString(pCur!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME))
                    val type = pCur.getInt(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE))
                    when (type) {
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE -> {
                            mListMobile.add(MobileType(number, 0))
                            mMapContact.put(number.replace(Regex(CONTACT_PLUS_PATH_PREFIX), ""), mNameContact)
                        }
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME -> {
                            mListMobile.add(MobileType(number, 1))
                            mMapContact.put(number.replace(Regex(CONTACT_PLUS_PATH_PREFIX), ""), mNameContact)
                        }
                        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK -> {
                            mListMobile.add(MobileType(number, 2))
                            mMapContact.put(number.replace(Regex(CONTACT_PLUS_PATH_PREFIX), ""), mNameContact)
                        }
                    }
                    /*val contactNumber = pCur!!.getString(pCur!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER))
                    val contactName = pCur!!.getString(pCur!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME))
                    val contactInfo = ContactInfo(""+id, ""+contactName, "", ""+contactNumber)
                    LogUtil.e(TAG, "getContactList: $contactNumber - $contactName - $id")
                    alContacts.add(contactInfo)
                    break*/
                }
                pCur?.close()
                if(mListMobile.size > 0) {
                    var contact : Contact? = null
                    for (mobile in mListMobile) {
                        contact = Contact(id, "" + mNameContact, ""+mNameContact, false, null, ""+mobile.mobile, "", mobile.type)
                        alContacts.add(contact!!)
                    }
                }
            }
        } while (cursor?.moveToNext())
    }

are you getting those contacts that you added on google account through web panel in your device? — ॐ Rakesh Kumar
No, I am not getting that's why I am asking, I am getting those contacts which I have added in Device — Mohit Suthar
If you are not getting those contacts in your device then your contacts have not synced properly. You will have to sync from the account it manually on Settings. — ॐ Rakesh Kumar

I resolve my issue from @Rakesh answer for better result in kotlin you can use like this

val projection = arrayOf(ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE, ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME, ContactsContract.Contacts.PHOTO_URI, ContactsContract.Contacts.STARRED, ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.DATA, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.TYPE)

        val selection = ContactsContract.Data.MIMETYPE + " in (?, ?)" + " AND " +
                ContactsContract.Data.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER + " = '" + 1 + "'"

        val selectionArgs = arrayOf(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE)

        val sortOrder = ContactsContract.Contacts.SORT_KEY_ALTERNATIVE

        val uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.CONTENT_URI

        val cursor = context.contentResolver.query(uri, projection, selection, selectionArgs, sortOrder)

        val mimeTypeIdx = cursor!!.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.Data.MIMETYPE)
        val idIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID)
        val nameIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME)

        val dataIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.DATA)
        val typeIdx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.TYPE)
        val photo = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Contactables.PHOTO_URI)
        val account_type = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE)

        while (cursor.moveToNext()) {
            var mListMobile = ArrayList<MobileType>()

            val id = cursor.getLong(idIdx)
            val type = cursor.getInt(typeIdx)
            val number = cursor.getString(dataIdx)
            val mimeType = cursor.getString(mimeTypeIdx)
            val mNameContact = cursor.getString(nameIdx)
            val photo_uri = cursor.getString(photo)
            val account_t = cursor.getString(account_type)


            when (type) {
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE, 0 -> {
                     Log.i(TAG, ""+number) 
                }
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME -> {
                    Log.i(TAG, ""+number) 
                }
                ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK -> {
                    Log.i(TAG, ""+number) 
                }
            }
        }
        cursor.close()
