My guess was right. I used two time the same classname to wrap.

Library V1.1 updated in Post #1

Attached an Example to read the CallLog

Please note:

Starting on Android API Level 23 (Android Marshmallow) Android discarded the use of the Browserhistory (excact; discarded the fieldname-class).
I guess it will not work on Android 23 anymore

Notes:
- ALL Content-Providers doe only READ as yet. For the Calendars-Povider i´ll make an update where you can Update Events and Calendars. It is not done as yet. All other Providers except Calendars does not have any update-methods. So you just can READ all the data

- ALL Providers will return a CURSOR to iterate through the results!

As Example i´ll post code to get all Contacts. ALL other Providers can be used similar.

B4X:

Sub Globals
    'These global variables will be redeclared each time the activity is created.
    'These variables can only be accessed from this module.
    Dim contp As ContactsProvider
End Sub
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    'Do not forget to load the layout file created with the visual designer. For example:
    'Activity.LoadLayout("Layout1")
    contp.Initialize("")
    '
    Dim c As Cursor
    c = contp.Contacts
    If c.RowCount > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To c.RowCount-1
            c.Position = i
            LogColor("===========================", Colors.Green)
            Dim colcount As Int = c.ColumnCount
            Log("columns="&colcount)
            For o = 0 To colcount -1
                Log(c.GetColumnName(o)&"="&c.GetString(c.GetColumnName(o)))          
            Next          
        Next
    End If
    Log("Contacts = "&c.RowCount)
