Lucky to see the Google Android build-in Contacts is also developed by Android SDK.
This article will take it for example and discuss these How-To's:

1 How to find the Contacts App file on Google Android
2 How to find the Contacts App's classes.dex on Google Android
3 How to dump the Contacts App's classes
4 How to decompile the dumped file

{
Actually, I think the Contacts Content Provider that Google provides has some inconvenience to use.
And I will post another blog to list what's inconvenience and request some improvement from Google.

1 How to find the Contacts App on Google Android
Using adb tool

$ adb shell
# cd /system/app
cd /system/app
# ls
ls
-rw-r--r-- root root 25519 2007-11-14 20:40 ContactsProvider.apk

The Contacts.apk is the Contacts App and ContactsProvider.apk is the app that provides the Contact Content Provider for reading and writing "content://contacts/" resources.
we can see many system apps developed by Android Java SDK are put here.
However what is inside *.apk file. Actually it is a .zip file. It is easy to unzip and get the answer.
take Contacts.apk for example, it contains:

META-INF\
res\
AndroidManifest.xml
classes.dex
resources.arsc

The classes.dex file contains all compiled Java code.

2 How to find the Contacts App's classes.dex on Google Android
No need to unzip Contacts App's classes.dex file from Contacts.apk file.
The Dalvik VM has a cached file for us. Go head to find it.

$ adb shell
# cd /data/dalvik-cache
cd /data/dalvik-cache
# ls
ls
-rw-rw-rw- root root 73852 2007-11-27 05:16 system@[e-mail]@classes.dex
-rw-rw-rw- app_0 app_0 64172 2007-11-27 05:17 system@[e-mail]@classes.dex
-rw-rw-rw- root root 15204 2007-11-27 05:17 system@[e-mail]@classes.dex
-rw-rw-rw- app_3 app_3 3012 2007-11-27 07:33 system@[e-mail]@classes.dex
-rw-rw-rw- root root 7252804 2007-11-27 05:16 system@[e-mail]@classes.dex
....and many other cached files.

3 How to dump the Contacts App's classes
Unfortunately the classes.dex is not a .jar file. It's Dalvik executable format that is optimized for efficient.
so we can not pull the .class files as .jar format. However Google Android provides a tool named dexdump included in the emulator to dump .dex file. Here is how to use it.
# dexdump
dexdump: no file specified
dexdump: [-f] [-h] dexfile...

-d : disassemble code sections
-f : display summary information from file header
-h : display file header details
-C : decode (demangle) low-level symbol names
-S : compute sizes only

Now we dump the system@[e-mail]@classes.dex and system@[e-mail]@classes.dex.

# dexdump -d -f -h -C system@[e-mail]@classes.dex >> Contacts.apk.dump
# dexdump -d -f -h -C system@[e-mail]@classes.dex >> ContactsProvider.apk.dump

and then pull it out.
# exit
$ adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/Contacts.apk.dump ~/android
$ adb pull /data/dalvik-cache/ContactsProvider.apk.dump ~/android

Now we get the dumped files on ~/android folder.

4 How to decompile the dumped file
.dex file is optimized, so we can not decompile it as normal .class file.
Fortunately the dumped file is a bit readable for me.
As it is too big to analyze all the code, so I just take "how to create a contact" for example.
It's easy to get this info from the dumped file.
It has these classes:
...
Class name : 'com/google/android/contacts/AttachImage'
Class name : 'com/google/android/contacts/ContactEntryAdapter'
Class name : 'com/google/android/contacts/EditContactActivity'
Class name : 'com/google/android/contacts/EditContactActivity$EditEntry'
...

The EditContactActivity class has a private void create() method.
#3 : (in com/google/android/contacts/EditContactActivity)
name : 'create'
type : '()V'
access : 0x0002 (PRIVATE)

So all the code that create a contact is here from the dumped file, my comments inlined:
// private void create()
009b24: |[009b24] com/google/android/contacts/EditContactActivity.create:()V

// ContentValues v9 = new ContentValues();
