Answer 1

After looking into the error logs it is showing Security Exception, I believe the permissions are not granted.

Add below permissions in Manifest file

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

Also if you are targeting devices above Marshamallow you need to consider granting permissions from user.

 requestPermissions(new String[]{READ_CONTACTS, WRITE_CONTACTS},PERMISSION_REQUEST_CODE);

Check if the permissions are already granted with

 int result3 = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getApplicationContext(), READ_CONTACTS);
 int result4 = ContextCompat.checkSelfPermission(getApplicationContext(), WRITE_CONTACTS);

both values should be 0

Answer 2

You are not inflating any layout of your activity. Your onCreate method should call setContentView(R.layout.layout_name)

Answer 3

if you deleted this line, then add and show the error you are getting in Logcat when app crash..........

make sure :

1. setContentView(R.layout.xxxxxxx);
2. dont forget to declare activity in manifest.
