event_start always returning contact number in android

Why `ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE` always returning contact number. The number is available in Google Contacts.

Here what I am doing...

```java
Cursor c;
        if (contactID=="") {
            c = activity.getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC ");
        }else{
            StringBuffer whereClause = new StringBuffer();
            whereClause.append(Phone.CONTACT_ID);
            whereClause.append("=");
            whereClause.append(contactID);
            c = activity.getContentResolver().query(Phone.CONTENT_URI, null, whereClause.toString(), null, ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC ");
        }
birthday = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Event.START_DATE));
```

For setting in layout.

```java
birthday = fetchSpecificContact.get(Constants.BIRTHDAY);
etxtBirthday.setText(birthday);
```

I can't see any problem anywhere. API level 22 maybe. Android version : 5.1.
