How to display contact name in MIT App Inventor

Question

Could you help me to find out how I will get and display contact name.

I am able to get and display the contact number only, but what I need is to get the data of contact name via contact number saved on the phone. This is for my school project purposes.

I am using MIT App inventor. What should I do?

Here is a screenshot of my blocks

The texting component does not provide that information. As you can see, you can only get the number and the message text .

To get the contact name, you could use the Read Contact Extension by Andres Daniel. Note: this is a paid extension.
