ABAddressBook store values in NSDictionary

Question

I have an app that displays ABAddressBook contacts in a UITableView. Currently I\'m reading the contacts into an NSDictionary, however

Answer 1

Same as Abizern's answer, but if you want to display full names that are localized, use ABRecordCopyCompositeName. (In English names are "First Last", but in Chinese names are "LastFirst").

ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex(addressBookData, idx);
NSString *fullName = (__bridge_transfer NSString *)ABRecordCopyCompositeName(person);//important for localization
