ABPeoplePickerNavigationController actually executing - iphone

Question

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;
}
