How do I fetch only mobile section record from addressbook in ios?
I want to add only one record to my array that is fetched from mobile section record.
How do I do that. I am getting all the phone property records. but I need to get only mobile section record.
NSArray *allPeople = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(myAddressBook);
NSLog(#"allpeople%#", allPeople);
for (id record in allPeople) {
CFTypeRef phoneProperty = ABRecordCopyValue((ABRecordRef)record, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
NSArray *phones = (NSArray *)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(phoneProperty);
NSLog(#"phones %#",phones);
CFRelease(phoneProperty);
NSMutableDictionary *newRecord = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSMutableString *newPhone = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];
for (NSString *phone in phones) {
if(![newPhone isEqualToString:#""])
[newPhone appendString:#", "];
[newPhone appendString:phone];
}
You can try something like this..
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(abPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (phoneNumbers) {
CFIndex numberOfPhoneNumbers = ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers);
for (CFIndex i = 0; i < numberOfPhoneNumbers; i++) {
NSString *phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, i);
CFStringRef label = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phoneNumbers, i);
if (label) {
if (CFEqual(label, kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel)) {
primaryPhoneText.text = phone;
} else {
}
CFRelease(label);
[allPhones addObject:phone]; // allPhones is an array here.
}
}
CFRelease(phoneNumbers);
}
Hope this will help you out..
Enjoy coding..

i want to check whether the given number is in phone book or not programatically .
i am able to display the contact name of the given number if it is exists in phone book but the program crashes when there is no contact with that number in phone book ...
but what i want is to display name if it exists in phone book..... and display the number if if is not in phone book......
and my code is as follows....
NSMutableArray *names = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
NSMutableArray *phonenumbers = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
NSArray *thePeople = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
NSString *name;
for (id person in thePeople)
{
name = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
NSLog(#"!!!!!! name ---> %#",name);
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
int count1=ABMultiValueGetCount(multi);
NSLog(#"%d",count1);
if ([name length]>0 && count1!=0)
{
NSString *beforenumber = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);
NSLog(#" contacts:%#",beforenumber );
NSString* removed1=[beforenumber stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"-"withString:#""];
NSString* removed2=[removed1 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#")"withString:#""];
NSString* removed3=[removed2 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#" "withString:#""];
NSString* removed4=[removed3 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"("withString:#""];
NSString* removed5=[removed4 stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"+"withString:#""];
[names addObject:name];
[phonenumbers addObject:removed5];
}
}
int barindex = -1;
barindex = [phonenumbers indexOfObject:number];
if(barindex == -1)
return number;
else
return [names objectAtIndex:barindex];
can any one please help me how to do that.............
thank you.......
The code would be improved but I think that is what you need.
Sample Code
I have an app that displays ABAddressBook contacts in a UITableView. Currently I'm reading the contacts into an NSDictionary, however this appears to crash for some users, which I suspect is a memory issue.
Is there another approach to display ABAddressBook contacts in a UITableView without either first storing them in an NSDictionary or using ABPeoplePicker?
A different way using ARC:
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
CFArrayRef addressBookData = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
CFIndex count = CFArrayGetCount(addressBookData);
NSMutableArray *contactsArray = [NSMutableArray new];
for (CFIndex idx = 0; idx < count; idx++) {
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(addressBookData, idx);
NSString *firstName = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
if (firstName) {
NSDictionary *dict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:firstName ForKey:#"name"];
[contactsArray addObject:dict];
}
}
CFRelease(addressBook);
CFRelease(addressBookData);
You can use following way,
ABAddressBookRef ab = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);
NSArray *arrTemp = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(ab);
The above 2 lines will create an array for all your contacts on the iPhone.
Now whatever property of a contact you want to display you can display by using the below code. For example, I want to display the first name of all contacts and then create one Mutable array called it arrContact.
NSMutableArray *arrContact = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (int i = 0; i < [arrTemp count]; i++)
{
NSMutableDictionary *dicContact = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
NSString *str = (NSString *) ABRecordCopyValue([arrTemp objectAtIndex:i], kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
#try
{
[dicContact setObject:str forKey:#"name"];
}
#catch (NSException * e) {
[dicContact release];
continue;
}
[arrContact addObject:dicContact];
[dicContact release];
}
Now just display it using the arrContact array in a table view..
Same as Abizern's answer, but if you want to display full names that are localized, use ABRecordCopyCompositeName. (In English names are "First Last", but in Chinese names are "LastFirst").
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(addressBookData, idx);
NSString *fullName = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABRecordCopyCompositeName(person);//important for localization
I´ve one big problem... I plan to write an app that deals with the users addressbook and it´s addresses. Everything´s fine - except the fact that I´m not able to determine whether the addesse´s type is "work", "home" or "other".
Does anybody know how to get the label for home, work and other?
Thanks in advance

This is the function I´m using at the moment:
+ (void)testing {
//Get the addressbook
ABAddressBookRef _addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreate ();
//Fetch all contacts
NSArray* allPeople = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(_addressBookRef);
//Walk the contacts
for (id record in allPeople) {
//Get the contact´s id
NSInteger recordId = ABRecordGetRecordID((ABRecordRef)record);
//Get the contact´s name and company
NSString* recordName = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyCompositeName((ABRecordRef)record);
NSString* recordCompany = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue((ABRecordRef)record, kABPersonOrganizationProperty);
//Get the contact´s addresses
CFTypeRef adressesReference = ABRecordCopyValue((ABRecordRef)record, kABPersonAddressProperty);
NSArray *adressesArray = (NSArray *)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(adressesReference);
CFRelease(adressesReference);
NSLog(#"ID: %d", recordId);
NSLog(#"Name: %#", recordName);
NSLog(#"Firma: %#", recordCompany);
for (NSString *adress in adressesArray) {
NSLog(#"Adresse: %#", adress);
}
[adressesArray release];
}
CFRelease(_addressBookRef);
[allPeople release];
NSLog(#"\n");
}
And here´s the log output:
ID: 1
Name: The first user
Firma: (null)
Adresse: {
City = Reutlingen;
Country = Germany;
CountryCode = de;
Street = "some street";
ZIP = 23456;
}
Adresse: {
City = Reutlingen;
Country = Germany;
CountryCode = de;
State = BW;
Street = "Street number 2";
ZIP = 98765;
}
ID: 2
Name: The second contact
Firma: Firma
Adresse: {
Country = "United States";
CountryCode = us;
Street = Test;
}
here is how you get the address book values extracted:
ABMultiValueRef addresses = ABRecordCopyValue(ref, kABPersonAddressProperty);
for (CFIndex j = 0; j<ABMultiValueGetCount(addresses);j++){
CFDictionaryRef dict = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(addresses, j);
CFStringRef typeTmp = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(addreses, j);
CFStringRef labeltype = ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(typeTmp);
NSString *street = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressStreetKey) copy];
NSString *city = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressCityKey) copy];
NSString *state = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressStateKey) copy];
NSString *zip = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressZIPKey) copy];
NSString *country = [(NSString *)CFDictionaryGetValue(dict, kABPersonAddressCountryKey) copy];
[street release];
[city release];
[state release];
[zip release];
[country release];
CFRelease(dict);
CFRelease(type);
CFRelease(typeTmp);
}
CFRelease(addresses);
the label type is what you are looking for.
good luck

I would like to list all phone numbers (or any other field) of people in the addressbook.
I've written the following code:
- (void)addressBookFill{
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
people = (NSArray*)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
[addressBook release];
}
- (void)printAddressBook{
for(id person in people){
NSLog(#"%#", [person class]);
NSLog(#"\t%#", person );
}
}
When I invoke the printAddressBook method I get this on my console:
2010-07-06 10:34:11.998 app[91420:207] __NSCFType
2010-07-06 10:34:11.999 app[91420:207] <CPRecord: 0x5d56ce0 ABPerson>
And I don't have any idea, how to dereference this ABPerson object, how to get any info from it.
I tried:
firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
but I got some exceptions.
Can anybody tell me how to get some info from these objects?
Read the documentation about the ABPerson class:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/Reference/AddressBook/Classes/ABPerson_Class/Reference/Reference.html
and also the ABRecord class:
http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/UserExperience/Reference/AddressBook/Classes/ABRecord_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/cl/ABRecord
[ person valueForProperty: #"propName" ]
You can get the available properties with:
[ ABPerson properties ]
[ EDIT ]
On iPhone, you can use the following code to access a value:
NSString * lastName = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue( person, kABPersonLastNameProperty );
May be this code will help you for iOS5, please like it
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
NSArray *arrayOfAllPeople = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *) ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
NSUInteger peopleCounter = 0;
for (peopleCounter = 0;peopleCounter < [arrayOfAllPeople count]; peopleCounter++){
ABRecordRef thisPerson = (__bridge ABRecordRef) [arrayOfAllPeople objectAtIndex:peopleCounter];
NSString *name = (__bridge_transfer NSString *) ABRecordCopyCompositeName(thisPerson);
NSLog(#"First Name = %#", name);
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (NSUInteger emailCounter = 0; emailCounter < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); emailCounter++){
/* And then get the email address itself */
NSString *email = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, emailCounter);
NSLog(#"Email : %#",email);
}
}
CFRelease(addressBook);
You want get only those contact who has email on my contact so use this code for iOS5
Please like it if it work
First add AddressBook.framework and #import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
- (NSArray*)printAddressBook{
NSMutableArray *mutableData = [NSMutableArray new];
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
NSArray *arrayOfAllPeople = (__bridge_transfer NSArray *) ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
NSUInteger peopleCounter = 0;
for (peopleCounter = 0;peopleCounter < [arrayOfAllPeople count]; peopleCounter++){
ABRecordRef thisPerson = (__bridge ABRecordRef) [arrayOfAllPeople objectAtIndex:peopleCounter];
NSString *name = (__bridge_transfer NSString *) ABRecordCopyCompositeName(thisPerson);
NSLog(#"First Name = %#", name);
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(thisPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (NSUInteger emailCounter = 0; emailCounter < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); emailCounter++){
/* And then get the email address itself */
NSString *email = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, emailCounter);
NSLog(#"Email : %#",email);
NSMutableDictionary *personDict = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:name,#"name",email,#"email", nil];
[mutableData addObject:personDict];
}
}
CFRelease(addressBook);
return [NSArray arrayWithArray:mutableData];
}
I have been able to use the SDK to access Address Book contacts for people, but whenever I pick a contact who is a company, my app crashes.
does anyone know the property for the company field?
does anyone know the code to make it work?
thanks in advance
It seems your issue is not related to company tag itself. AB fields need to be managed carefully, released when not used and checked for nil all the time, many fields are not set.
In principle, here is example of how I use it. This function loads contacts (those fields interested for my app) and returns array with contacts to the caller. Hope this is helpful. Note how I release not needed refs.
- (NSArray *)loadContacts
{
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
CFIndex nPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBook);
NSMutableArray *contacts = [NSMutableArray array];
for (int i = 0 ; i < nPeople ; i++ ) {
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(allPeople, i);
NSString *firstName = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
NSString *lastName = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty);
NSString *fullName;
if (firstName && lastName) {
fullName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%# %#", firstName, lastName];
} else {
if (firstName) {
fullName = [NSString stringWithString:firstName];
} else if (lastName) {
fullName = [NSString stringWithString:lastName];
} else {
continue;
}
}
NSString *email = nil;
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
if (emails) {
NSArray *emailAddresses = [(NSArray *)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(emails) autorelease];
if (emailAddresses && [emailAddresses count] > 0)
email = [emailAddresses objectAtIndex:0];
CFRelease(emails);
}
if (email) {
NSDictionary *contact = [NSDictionary
dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:fullName, #"name",
email, #"email", nil];
[contacts addObject:contact];
}
if (firstName)
CFRelease(firstName);
if (lastName)
CFRelease(lastName);
}
CFRelease(allPeople);
CFRelease(addressBook);
return contacts;
}
you need to use kABPersonOrganizationProperty property for get the company name from addressbook
