As per my requirement,
i need to get email id's from contacts.
And i need to write a code for this in a separate class in a method.To get call this integrate classes into my project simply call that method.
This is what i need.
for this my code in ownServices is like this.
-(NSString *)getSelectedNumberFromContatcs {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePickerController = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
peoplePickerController.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:peoplePickerController animated:NO];
[peoplePickerController release];
return aNSString;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
// NSString *name = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person
property:(ABPropertyID)property
identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
if (property == kABPersonPhoneProperty) {
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
CFStringRef phonenumberselected = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, identifier);
// CFStringRef emailLabelSelected = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, identifier);
// CFStringRef emailLabelSelectedLocalized = ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, identifier));
aNSString = (NSString *)phonenumberselected;
// Return to the main view controller.
[ self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES ];
return NO;
}
return YES ;
}
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker
{
[ self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES ];
}
i am calling this in myclassviewcontroller like this.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];
ownServices *obj = [[ownServices alloc]init];
[obj getSelectedNumberFromContatcs];
}
But contatcs viewcontraoller is not opened.
But i try same code in view controller in a button action like this
-(IBAction)openContacts {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePickerController = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
peoplePickerController.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:peoplePickerController animated:NO];
[peoplePickerController release];
}
Then contacts viewconrtroller opened.
i did n't why view controller is not opened by calling it in a method.
is it possible to do like this.
can any one please help me.
Thank u in advance.
Because the class you are using is inherited from NSObject not UIViewController so the [self presentModalViewController:peoplePickerController animated:NO]; will not work. Also
you have written this method in a wrong way
-(NSString *)getSelectedNumberFromContatcs {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePickerController = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
peoplePickerController.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewController:peoplePickerController animated:NO];
[peoplePickerController release];
return aNSString;
}
Let me know what actually you want to do?
Instead of peoplePickerController.peoplePickerDelegate = self is it possible to use the reference of your main View Controller?

This works fine when I select contacts that have multiple phone numbers, and pick one of their phone numbers, recipientAddress is set to the selected phone number. But when I select email addresses from contacts having multiple email addresses, the ABMultiValueIdentifier is zero, and it translates into an index of zero, which is always the last email in the contact, regardless of which I selected.
I must be doing something embarrassingly wrong and easy to find, so please make yourself look great by exposing my foolishness.
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
#try {
[eta addRecipient: person : property: identifier];
}
#catch (NSException *exception) {
errExcLog(exception);
}
return NO;
}
- (void) addRecipient : (ABRecordRef) person : (ABPropertyID) property : (ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
ABMultiValueRef mvPropertyRef = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
int propertyIndex = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier( mvPropertyRef, identifier);
NSString *recipientAddress = (__bridge NSString *)(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex( mvPropertyRef, propertyIndex));
}
These two methods might help you to get the selected person's email id

return NO;
}

I'm adding a calendar view to my app using Kal Calendar but am having problems implementing a didSelectRowAtIndexPath method on the event list. I would like to push a view controller when the user selects an event for any given day. I've tried putting the method in "KalView.m", "KalViewController.m", and "KalDataSource.m", but none are recognized. Where is the appropriate place to call such a method?
I had similar issue once, Here is how I implemented it.

I am getting phone number from the address book for that i am using this code.

but i am getting potential leak at CFStringRef
Potential leak of an object allocated on line 1126
Call to function 'ABRecordCopyValue' returns a Core Foundation object with a +1 retain count (owning reference)
Object allocated on line 1126 is no longer referenced after this point and has a retain count of +1 (object leaked)
can any one pls help me.
how can i resolve it.
You should call CFRelease(phonenumbersselected) when you're done using the object.
i have the contact list showing up perfectly in the simulator. it takes the phone number and places it in the text box. so i decided to try it on my iphone and it actually executes the thing i tap on. it calls the number instead of putting the number ito the textbox. heres the code:
- (IBAction) adressBook: (id) sender {
// 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 {
/*
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
num.text = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);
//[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
*/
return YES;
}
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier{
NSLog(#"inbool");
ABMultiValueRef phonePro = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
int idx = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(phonePro, identifier);
num.text = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phonePro, idx);
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
/*
ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
num.text = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, identifier);
*/
return YES;
}
and sorry if not formatted correctly, new to stackoverflow.
Your peoplePickerNavigationController:shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:property:identifier: needs to return NO so that the phone does not perform it's default action. You then close the picker yourself.
-(BOOL) peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *) peoplePicker
shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson: (ABRecordRef) person
property: (ABPropertyID) property
identifier: (ABMultiValueIdentifier) identifier
{
NSLog(#"inbool");
ABMultiValueRef phonePro = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
int idx = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(phonePro, identifier);
num.text = (NSString)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phonePro, idx);
[peoplePicker dismissModalViewControllerAnimated: YES];
return NO;
}
I've followed the following tutorial, in the simulator it works great, however on my phone when select the address, Google maps launchs, I think I've fried my brain on this. I am using this in conjunction to a NavBarContolloer Any help would be great.

you need to return NO in order not to launch Google Maps. Returning YES would continue with the default action, which on the device is launching Google Maps.
