[android-developers] Re: What is the URI for the Contacts content provider on Samsung phones? ActivityNotFoundException:

My guess is that it is the non-Samsung phones that are doing something
non-standard, something you cannot rely on. For as I read your code,
you are trying to view not just a contact, but an entire contact
database. I don't think Android guarantees that that Action is
supported on the entire database.

Try appending a specific ID to the Uri.
