Android :: Bulk Inserts Into ContentProviders

I have written a content provider over a database table which essentially captures phone contacts information.

So at a point of time, in my application code, I want to query the android contacts content provider, and insert that information into my Database table through the content provider.

For this I have to query the content provider from android, get the cursor, loop over the android contacts, for each contact, insert using my URI, this becomes very bulky. Is there any work around? A bulk insert mechanism of some sort? Or at least pass an object to a URI, which can be the android cursor.
