Solution 1

Add this dependenncy

This is the current version by this time

contact_picker: ^0.0.2

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:contact_picker/contact_picker.dart';

void main() {
 runApp(new MyApp());
 } 

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
 @override
_MyAppState createState() => new _MyAppState();
}

 class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> {
  final ContactPicker _contactPicker = new ContactPicker();
  Contact _contact;

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
   return new MaterialApp(
   home: new Scaffold(
    appBar: new AppBar(
       title: new Text('Plugin example app'),
     ),
      body: new Center(
      child: new Column(
        mainAxisSize: MainAxisSize.min,
         children: <Widget>[
          new MaterialButton(
            color: Colors.blue,
            child: new Text("CLICK ME"),
            onPressed: () async {
              Contact contact = await _contactPicker.selectContact();
              setState(() {
                _contact = contact;
              });
            },
          ),
          new Text(
            _contact == null ? 'No contact selected.' : _contact.toString(),
          ),
        ],
      ),
    ),
  ),
);
 }
}

Use contact_picker: ^0.0.2 to get a contact

1. Add a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file

   dependencies:
     flutter:
       sdk: flutter
   
     contact_picker: ^0.0.2
   

2. Import it where you want to use it and create an openContactBook() function

   import 'package:contact_picker/contact_picker.dart';
   
   
   Future<String> openContactBook() async {
     Contact contact = await ContactPicker().selectContact();
     if (contact != null) {
       var phoneNumber = contact.phoneNumber.number.toString().replaceAll(new RegExp(r"\s+"), "");
       return phoneNumber;
     }
     return "";
   }
   

3. Used it like this

   onPressed: () {
     var contactNumber = openContactBook()
   }
