Get contact details to titanium from native iOS contact app

Question

I'm new to Titanium. Currently I'm working on a project in this the user needs to use the contact details from iOS contacts App.

My app.js looks like this

Window = require('ui/handheld/ApplicationWindow');
var win = Window();
win.open();
var button = Ti.UI.createButton({
    title : 'Show Contacts',
    width : 100,
    height: 50,
});
win.add(button);
button.addEventListener('click',function(e){
    Titanium.Contacts.showContacts({ });
});

When I click on a button the following code is displayed:

And when I select an contact the detail is displayed on the other screen:

But I don't want this, When the user selects an individual contact the details should be passed to my app.js file. And no need to go to the details page.

Is there any way to do this ? Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It seems that you're missing a declaration of function to be called when a person is selected:

Titanium.Contacts.showContacts({/*missing selectedPerson callback object*/});

You can read more on what parameters can be passed into showContacts method here.

Answer 2

Finally I got it.

I used the following code:

button.addEventListener('click',function(e){
    Titanium.Contacts.showContacts(values);
});
var values = {cancel:function(){}};
values.fields = ['firstName', 'lastName', 'phone'];

values.selectedProperty = function(e) {
                var cn = e.person.firstName; 
                var sn = e.person.lastName;
                alert('Name'+cn+' '+sn);
};

Answer 3

var parms = {
animated : true,
selectedPerson : function(e) {
    alert(e.person);
}

}; Titanium.Contacts.showContacts(parms);

You will get the details of selected person in e.person object. that can be passed to app.js etc according to your requirements. i just showed it in the alert.
