How do I display a person (AdressBookUI framework) in my iPhone app. I already have an ABRecordRef for the person, but I just need to display them.
Also, I'd like to only display their name, their picture, and their phone numbers. How do I do that?
Thanks!!

I have tried
http://zcentric.com/2008/09/19/access-the-address-book/
And it works great. But now instead of AddressBook contact i have an array or other structure that have my contacts and i want to show it like an Address Book.
Do i need to make it all custom or is there any way i can use the AddressBook to show my contacts?
Using ABPeoplePickerNavigationController you can only fetch the contacts from the Ipad or Iphone Address Book.
If you want same functionality with your structure data you need to make it all Custom Using UITableView and other views.
read Addressbook Programming Guid here from apple and you will get detailed answer of your question.
I want to show particular note about incoming number on call screen of an iPhone.
E.g. I have Jane as a contact saved in my Contacts on an iPhone. I also have a note associated with that Jane's contact, let's say that note is "Dentist".
Now If I get call from Jane I should be able to see "Dentist" on call screen.
I am currently using PhoneGap framework.
I have been searching for it but had no luck.
This is not possible on non-jailbroken iPhone. But you can achieve it in some other way like how the sticky notes apps are working,
Ask the user to create a note
Generate a image from the user designed note(using code)
Finally ask the user to assign the image to the contact.
No, you have no way influence how contact is displayed in phone call at not jailbroken iPhone. Information is taken from address book only.
I just want the all contacts list in my application, in NSArray or NSDictionary object or in any other form. My intense is that my application do also have its own contacts. Now I want to show my application's contact and native contacts in my application's phone book. So I just want the list of native contacts in some way so that I can show it along with my application's contact list. Thanks in advance........
Apple has a programming guide for the address book framework that should give all the information you need:
Address Book Programming Guide for iOS
I want to ask a question about the iPhone application. The application can let the user to enter the information in a costumed table (not the contacts book). After that, the program will use the retrieved data to add to the address book. But I don't how to add the content to contacts book. Can any one help me? Thank you very much.
The framework you are looking for is the AddressBook framework, and the guide within the SDK is called "Address Book Programming Guide for iPhone OS"
The method that does this is called ABAddressBookAddRecord
