How to get all contact information from a content provider with a single request?

I need to read the contacts from the device. The fields that I need it ID, Display Name, Phone Number(all types) Email id(all types), and 'photo'. For this, I am doing it now.

1: First I read all IDof ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;as shown below

        Uri contactsUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI;
        // Querying the table ContactsContract.Contacts to retrieve all the contacts
        String[] projection = {ID};
        Cursor contactsCursor = mContentResolver.query(contactsUri, projection, null, null,
                "upper(" + ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME + ") ASC");

2: Then repeat this cursor to read the required fields of all contacts.

if (contactsCursor.moveToFirst()) {
            do {
                 long contactId = contactsCursor.getLong(contactsCursor.getColumnIndex(ID));
                   Uri dataUri = ContactsContract.Data.CONTENT_URI;
                // Querying the table ContactsContract.Data to retrieve individual items like
                // home phone, mobile phone, work email etc corresponding to each contact
                   String[] columns = {CONTACT_ID, PHOTO_URI, DISPLAY_NAME, MIME_TYPE, DATA_1, DATA_2, DATA_4};
                   String selection = ContactsContract.Data.CONTACT_ID + "=" + contactId;
                   Cursor dataCursor = mContentResolver.query(dataUri, columns,
                        selection,
                        null, null);
                                 if (dataCursor.moveToFirst()) {
                                 // Getting Display Name
                                 displayName = dataCursor.getString(dataCursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Data.DISPLAY_NAME));
                                 do {
                                    // Getting Phone numbers
                                    String mimeType = dataCursor.getString(dataCursor.getColumnIndex(MIME_TYPE));
                                    switch (mimeType) {
                                             case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_ITEM_TYPE:
                                             String phoneNumber = dataCursor.getString(dataCursor.getColumnIndex(DATA_1));
                                             switch (dataCursor.getInt(dataCursor.getColumnIndex(DATA_2))) {
                                    case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_HOME:
                                        homePhone = phoneNumber;
                                        break;
                                    case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_MOBILE:

                                    case ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TYPE_WORK:

                                    default:

                                }
                                break;
