How can I disable PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST - android-studio

Question

I am working on branding a pre-packaged application, and it has a contact selector option that I need to disable since it serves no purpose for us. It's for a single user search using their personal address. I have found an article on how to add it here: http://apiminer.org/doc/guide/components/activities.html
They listed the code as this:
private void pickContact() {
// Create an intent to "pick" a contact, as defined by the content provider URI
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK, Contacts.CONTENT_URI);
startActivityForResult(intent, PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST);
}
#Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
// If the request went well (OK) and the request was PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST
if (resultCode == Activity.RESULT_OK && requestCode == PICK_CONTACT_REQUEST) {
// Perform a query to the contact's content provider for the contact's name
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(data.getData(),
new String[] {Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME}, null, null, null);
if (cursor.moveToFirst()) { // True if the cursor is not empty
int columnIndex = cursor.getColumnIndex(Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME);
String name = cursor.getString(columnIndex);
// Do something with the selected contact's name...
}
}
}
I just want to disable this. I can remove the images from the folder that it is calling them from, but that still leaves an active corner. That would be poor usability to just leave it that way. I have tried just commenting and deleting these mentions from the code, and it just throws back 2-3 errors.
This is my HomeActivity.java file that displays the code:

String[] projection = { ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.StructuredPostal.FORMATTED_ADDRESS };

}
#Override
public void onLoadFinished(Loader<Cursor> loader, Cursor data) {
if (data.getCount() > 0) {
data.moveToFirst();
// get result with single column, named data1
String address = data.getString(0);
Log.d("HomeActivity", "Got cursor result: " + address);
// set address found in view
addressView.setText(address);
// initate search with new address
HomeFragment myFragment = (HomeFragment)getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentById(R.id.home_fragment);
myFragment.makeElectionQuery();
} else {
Log.e("HomeActivity", "Cursor got no results!");
}
}
#Override
public void onLoaderReset(Loader<Cursor> loader) {
// PASS
}
}
Does anyone have a solution for this?
