Android: how to access the SIM contact table using the SDK?

I am trying to use this query to read the contacts on the SIM.

            cur = managedQuery(Uri.parse("content://icc/adn")
                ,null
                ,null
                ,null
                ,null
                );

The application has READ_CONTACTS and WRITE_CONTACTS permissions. Yet, the query returns an exception.
