i use contact picker code from another stackoverflow question:

    @Override
    public void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
        super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
        if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
            if (requestCode == RESULT_PICK_CONTACT) {
                Cursor cursor;
                try {
                    String phoneNo = "";
                    String name = "";
                    Log.i("intent",data.getData().toString());
                    Uri uri = data.getData();
                    cursor = this.getContentResolver().query(uri, null, null, null, null);
                    cursor.moveToFirst();

                    int phoneIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
                    phoneNo = cursor.getString(phoneIndex);

                    int nameColumnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME);
                    name = cursor.getString(nameColumnIndex);

                    cursor.close();
                    Log.i("phone", phoneNo);
                    Log.i("name", name);
                    contactPicked(name,phoneNo);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
            }
        } else {
            Log.e("MainActivity", "Failed to pick contact");
        }
    }
    private void pickContact(){
        Intent contactPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI);
        startActivityForResult(contactPickerIntent, RESULT_PICK_CONTACT);
    }

also i noticed that on android 11 content uri slightly changed:

android 11: intent: content://com.android.contacts/data/3
android 10: intent: content://com.android.contacts/data/1

    I solved problem: the reason was that in android 11 i had to manually ask for contact read permissiom, while in android 10 that code worked fine.
    Solution: manually ask for contact read permission

    check the below link in android 11 you must add the permission on it

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"
                 android:maxSdkVersion="29" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_NUMBERS" />

    Not just contact read permission you need to add query intent in AndroidManifest.xml

    <manifest>
    <!-- For overall Android support -->
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
    <application>
        ...
    </application>
    <!-- For Android 11+ support -->
    <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            <data android:mimeType="vnd.android.cursor.dir/contact" />
        </intent>
    </queries>
</manifest>
