Adding address book in contact page - iphone

Question

I want to add an address book in my contact page and I want to do that programmatically i.e without using nib files. Can anyone suggest me a nice tutorial or sample code for that. i have used the codes of the answer given by iPatel and when i am running it is throwing exception and app is getting terminated.
thanks and regards.
Here is the edited code.

EDIT :
First Add all Delegate and Datasource method in your class .h file
<ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate,ABPersonViewControllerDelegate,ABNewPersonViewControllerDelegate,ABUnknownPersonViewControllerDelegate>
Create ABPeoplePickerNavigationController
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
[[picker navigationBar] setBarStyle:UIBarStyleBlack];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
// Display only a person's phone, email, and birthdate
NSArray *displayedItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty],nil];
picker.displayedProperties = displayedItems;
// Show the picker
[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
[picker release];
Add Following Delegate and DataSource method of ABPeopelPickerNavigationController
#pragma mark - ABPeopelPickerNavigationController Delegate and DataSource Methods
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
- (void)unknownPersonViewController:(ABUnknownPersonViewController *)unknownCardViewController didResolveToPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
}
- (void)newPersonViewController:(ABNewPersonViewController *)newPersonView didCompleteWithNewPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
}
- (BOOL)personViewController:(ABPersonViewController *)personViewController shouldPerformDefaultActionForPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier;
{
return YES;
}
