I have a problem with my app. I'm trying to execute query, but app stops every time. This error occurs while trying to execute query. I'm learing from Android Pro 3 book, but code presented in this book is deprecated.

package com.example.contactsabuout;

import android.net.Uri;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.provider.Contacts;
import android.provider.ContactsContract;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.util.Log;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.TextView;




public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    private static Context context;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        MainActivity.context = getApplicationContext();




        Log.v("INFO", "Completed: onCreate.");
    }

    public static Context getAppContext() {
        return MainActivity.context;
    }

    public void doQuery(View view) {

         Uri peopleBaseUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
         Log.v("II","Button clicked.");
         Log.v("II", "Uri for ContactsContract.Contacts: " + peopleBaseUri);
         Context context = getAppContext();
         Log.v("II", "Got context: " + context);
         Cursor cur;
         Log.v("II", "Created cursor: cur");
         cur = context.getContentResolver().query(peopleBaseUri, null, null, null, null);







    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }
}
