When a user taps a Linked Contact's property using the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController - neither-
(void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier or
(BOOL) peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier is being called.
For regular contacts this works great.
What am I doing wrong?
Here's how I display the contacts:
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
NSArray *displayedItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty],
[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty], nil];
picker.displayedProperties = displayedItems;
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];

I have a uibutton that when tapped brings up the contacts list and adds the selected phone number to a uitextfield.Here's the code i am using.
- (IBAction)contact1:(id)sender
{
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker1 =
[[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker1.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:picker1 animated:YES];
}
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
[self displayPerson:person];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
return NO;
}
- (void)displayPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
NSString* phone = nil;
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person,kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) {
phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)
ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0);
} else {
phone = #"[None]";
}
self.telField1.text = phone;
}
What I am trying to do is have multiple uibuttons add phone numbers to multiple uitextfield's.
for example: contact1 button adds phone# to telField1
contact2 button adds phone# to telField2
contact3 button adds phone# to telField3
each textfield would have a different phone#.
can my original code be tweeked or is there another method i should try?
-(IBAction)getContact {
// creating the picker
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
// place the delegate of the picker to the controll
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
// showing the picker
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
// releasing
[picker release];
}
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker {
// assigning control back to the main controller
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
// setting the first name
firstName.text = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
// setting the last name
lastName.text = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
number.text = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);
// remove the controller
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return NO;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier{
return NO;
}
It will show contacts in textfield with the click of a button, no need to set separate button for each textfield.
I am trying to catch the click of the contact name, and grab the contact info from there. Instead of clicking into the contact's info and clicking a field from there.
I am able to grab all data needed, but only after clicking into the contact. Here is my current code:
-(IBAction)buttonPressed:(id)sender
{
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker =[[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
[self displayPerson:person];
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
return YES;
}
-(void)displayPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
NSString *name = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
NSLog(#"Name: %#", name);
NSString *phone = nil;
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) {
phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)
ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0);
} else {
phone = #"[None]";
}
NSLog(#"Phone: %#", phone);
}
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
Simply return NO in shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson.
According to the docs:
Return Value:
YES to display the contact and dismiss the picker.
NO to do nothing.
So by returning NO you skip the display step. You are dismissing the picker yourself anyway.
I was using:
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier;
But, when I used the following it works just fine. That drove me nuts. lol
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person;
I'm opening a default address book contact in my app, but it's opening all the detail of the contact. I only want the phone number, not the other details. How do I do this?
Below is the code I use.
ABPersonViewController *personController = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];
personController.personViewDelegate = self;
personController.allowsEditing = NO;
personController.displayedPerson = person;
personController.addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
personController.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: [NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty], nil];
[[self navigationController] pushViewController:personController animated:YES];
ABContact *contact = [collection objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
cell.textLabel.text = contact.contactName;
cell.detailTextLabel.text=contact.phonenumbers;
i used abcontactshelper class for this.
how can i add the people from the contacts to 'people'- array then to abrecordref.??? Actually i want all the contacts in tableview and can able to edit individual record. here is my code:
-(void)showPersonViewController
{
// Fetch the address book
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
// Search for the person named "rubal" in the address book
NSArray *people = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyPeopleWithName(addressBook, CFSTR("naina"));
// Display "KETAN" information if found in the address book
if ((people != nil) && [people count])
{
ABRecordRef person = (ABRecordRef)[people objectAtIndex:0];
ABPersonViewController *picker = [[[ABPersonViewController alloc] init] autorelease];
picker.personViewDelegate = self;
picker.displayedPerson = person;
// Allow users to edit the person’s information
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
[self.navigationController pushViewController:picker animated:YES];
}
else
{
// Show an alert if "KETAN" is not in Contacts
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Error"
message:#"Could not find naina in the Contacts application"
delegate:nil
cancelButtonTitle:#"Cancel"
otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
}
[people release];
CFRelease(addressBook);
}
instead of only 'naina' i want all record in table view and edit individually
Look at ABPerson Class Reference. There is a list of other copy functions, including the one you seek, ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(ABAddressBookRef ab)
comment out your function and add this one and see if it works
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:
(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
[peoplePicker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
ABPersonViewController *picker = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];
picker.personViewDelegate = self;
picker.displayedPerson = person;
// Allow users to edit the person’s information
picker.allowsEditing = YES;
[picker setValue:[NSNumber numberWithBool:YES] forKey:#"allowsDeletion"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:picker animated:YES];
return YES;
}
i have my tabbar and i can hide this tab bar by the following code below but when tapping cancle of iphone mail composer does not return to the default screen can you please guide how can i do this
-(void)displayComposerSheet
{
MFMailComposeViewController *picker = [[MFMailComposeViewController alloc] init];
picker.mailComposeDelegate = self;
[picker setSubject:#""];
// Set up recipients
NSArray *toRecipients = [NSArray arrayWithObject:#""];
NSString *emailBody = #"";
[picker setMessageBody:emailBody isHTML:NO];
//[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
UIViewController *xyz=(UIViewController*)[myMarketsVicAppDelegate getMainTabbarRef];
[xyz presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
}
- (void)mailComposeController:(MFMailComposeViewController*)controller didFinishWithResult:(MFMailComposeResult)result error:(NSError*)error
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
You must have to implement following Delegates.
UINavigationControllerDelegate
MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate,
Like this
<MFMailComposeViewControllerDelegate,UINavigationControllerDelegate>.
Above might be an issue, because - If you have not implemented above delegate, It will give you compile time warnings but however it will execute.
