Problem when retrieving address, photo from iphone address book - iphone

Question

I have a task to develop the application with phone gap. And retrieve in my application.using javascript.
I want first name,last name,address,photo,home page,email,phone no in my application using phone gap. i have done the following code to retrive them. but i am not getting photo and address in my field.
I have done all code to retrieve the contact in native code. and i am sending it to the javascript file by creating the jsstring object of javascript function.
This is my native implement to read address book data.
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)picker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
{
/** Fetch Contact name */
name = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyCompositeName(person);
NSLog(#"name:%#",name);
/** Fetch Mobile number */
ABMultiValueRef *phones = (ABMultiValueRef *) ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
mobile=[[NSString alloc] initWithString:#""];
NSString *mobileLabel = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:#""];
for (CFIndex i=0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(phones); i++) {
mobileLabel = (NSString *) ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(phones, i);
if ([mobileLabel isEqualToString:(NSString *)kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel]) {
mobile = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, i);
}
else if([mobileLabel isEqualToString:(NSString *)kABPersonPhoneIPhoneLabel]) {
mobile = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phones, i);
}
}
/** Fetch Email addres */
emailID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#""];
ABMultiValueRef emails = (ABMultiValueRef) ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (CFIndex i=0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); i++) {
[emailID release];
emailID = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, 0);
NSLog(#"emailid:%#",emailID);
}
/** Fetch Homepage */
ABMultiValueRef homepage = (ABMultiValueRef *) ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonURLProperty);
NSString *homepageLabel = [NSString stringWithFormat:#""];
homepageID = [NSString stringWithFormat:#""];
for(CFIndex i=0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(homepage);i++)
{
homepageLabel = (NSString *) ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(homepage, i);
if([homepageLabel isEqualToString:(NSString *)kABPersonHomePageLabel]){
homepageID = (NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(homepage, i);
NSLog(#"homepage:%#",homepageID);
}
}
/** Fatch Image */
NSData *imgData = (NSData *)ABPersonCopyImageData(person);
// call the js to fill the all contact infromation
{
NSString* jsString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"fillContactInfo('%#','%#','%#','%#','%#');",name ,mobile ,emailID, homepageID, imgData];
NSLog(#"jstring:%#",jsString);
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsString];
[jsString release];
}
[emailID release];
[mobile release];
[mobileLabel release];
[homepageID release];
[homepageLabel release];
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)picker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier{
/*
* Set up an ABMultiValue to hold the address values; copy from address
* book record.
*/
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressProperty);
// Set up an NSArray and copy the values in.
NSArray *theArray = [(id)ABMultiValueCopyArrayOfAllValues(multi) autorelease];
// Figure out which values we want and store the index.
const NSUInteger theIndex = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(multi, identifier);
// Set up an NSDictionary to hold the contents of the array.
NSDictionary *theDict = [theArray objectAtIndex:theIndex];
// Set up NSStrings to hold keys and values. First, how many are there?
const NSUInteger theCount = [theDict count];
NSString *keys[theCount];
NSString *values[theCount];
// Get the keys and values from the CFDictionary. Note that because
// we're using the "GetKeysAndValues" function, you don't need to
// release keys or values. It's the "Get Rule" and only applies to
// CoreFoundation objects.
[theDict getObjects:values andKeys:keys];
// Set the address label's text.
addressid = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#, %#",
[theDict objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressStreetKey],
[theDict objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressCityKey]];
// call the js to fill the all contact infromation
{
NSString* jsString = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"fillContactAddress('%#');",addressid];
NSLog(#"jscript:%#",jsString);
[webView stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:jsString];
[jsString release];
}
[[self appViewController] dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
// If they didn't pick an address, return YES here to keep going.
return NO;
}
At this point i am getting the name,address,phone number,email address,home page,photo in NSLog console when i run the application. Following is my javascript function to retrive them:
function fillContactInfo(name,mobile,email,homepage,imgData){
mobile = mobile.replace(" ", "").replace("(", "").replace(")", "").replace("-", "").replace("+", "").replace("-", "").replace("-", "");
user.contactname = name;
user.contactemail = email;
user.contactphone = mobile;
user.contactimage = imgData;
user.contacturl = homepage;
document.getElementById("contactname").value = user.contactname;
document.getElementById("contactemail").value = user.contactemail;
document.getElementById("contactphone").value = user.contactphone;
document.getElementById("contactimage").src = "data:image/png;base64,user.contactimage";
document.getElementById("contacturl").value = user.contacturl;
}
function fillContactAddress(address){
user.address = address;
document.getElementById("contactaddress").value = user.contactaddress;
}
In the above code I have develop to retrive the contact in my application. But when i run the application at that time i only get name, email, phone number, and home page in my view. but i cant get address, and photo in my view.
I also have try to put the name, phone number, email, and home page in the
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)picker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
class method but it is not giving me result.
And I have html image tag to display image of the contact list.

The content of address inside the ABMultiValue is a NSDictionary structure. You can use the following keys to retrieve desired values. The detail is in this official document.
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressStreetKey;
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressCityKey;
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressStateKey;
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressZIPKey;
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressCountryKey;
const CFStringRef kABPersonAddressCountryCodeKey;
About image data, I cannot get a clear picture about how it will be processed in javascript. Maybe you need to transfer those binary data with base64 manner.
Edit:
An address example:
ABMultiValueRef aMulti = ABRecordCopyValue(srcRecord, kABPersonAddressProperty);
if (aMulti != nil) {
int aMultiCount = ABMultiValueGetCount(aMulti);
for (int i = 0; i < aMultiCount; ++i) {
NSDictionary *abDict = (NSDictionary *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(aMulti, i);
NSString *street = [abDict objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressStreetKey];
NSString *city = [abDict objectForKey:(NSString *)kABPersonAddressCityKey];
// obtains other properties ....
[abDict release];
}
CFRelease(aMulti);
}
