Get contact details from a list of Contact Ids in Android

Question

I have a situation, where I am getting a List containing contact Ids. I need to retrieve the contact details of each of these contact Ids in single cursor (so that I can use that cursor to populate ListView).

I know how to retrieve contact details for one contact Id.

But I don't know how to fire a query for list of contact Ids. Can someone please help with a snippet of code?

main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- @res/layout/main.xml -->
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

    <Button android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Select a Contact"
            android:onClick="onClickSelectContact" />

    <ImageView android:id="@+id/img_contact"
               android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:layout_width="match_parent"
               android:adjustViewBounds="true"
               android:contentDescription="Contacts Image"
                />
</LinearLayout>

And the manisfest should use permission

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
