abaddressbook

I am trying to delete a contact from the iPhone which I have created. I tried to find a good working example of deleting a contact, however didn't find one. Adding a contact seemed quite easy but deleting one seems hard. The following code does not work, but it seemed to be plausible: ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); ABRecordRef delete = ABPersonCreate(); ABRecordSetValue(delete, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, @"Max", nil); ABRecordSetValue(delete, kABPersonLastNameProperty, @"Mustermann", nil); ABAddressBookRemoveRecord(addressBook, delete, &error); ABAddressBookSave

I'm trying to retrieve data from the iPhone address book and I have some problems. First of all, I have an array of all contacts ( self.allContacts ): ABAddressBookRef abRef = ABAddressBookCreate(); self.allContacts = (NSMutableArray*)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(abRef); I also have an array of all properties (each property as string) called self.allKeys . The crash occurs when I try to get the properties using a property from self.allKeys : NSString *currentRecord = [[NSString alloc] init]; ABRecordRef currentRecordRef; ABPropertyID currentFieldProperty; currentRecordRef = (ABRecordRef)

I know that there can be multiple values for an email, but I'm not sure how to browse through them. I can get a person correctly. ABRecordRef person = // getting a person; NSString* emails = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty); ... what's next? If I try to print the emails variable I get: Emails: <NSCFType: 0x4018d40> It is because emails should not be a string, but an array. People can have many emails! ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty); CFStringRef email = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, <INDEX>); NSLog( (NSString *)

I am using Addressbook in my IOS app to fetch the contact name and numbers, but a strange thing is happening that it is showing phone number of some of the contacts. I was hoping it will show all the contact list with phone number. so here is my code to fetch phone numbers: -(void)getAddressbookData { #if __IPHONE_OS_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED < 60000 ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); #else CFErrorRef *error = nil; ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, error); #endif NSArray * people; BOOL accessGranted = [self __addressBookAccessStatus:addressBook];

I've spent some time searching for this answer on SO, but couldn't find it, so here goes: I'm starting with an ABPeoplePickerNavigationController, and when a user taps a person, they'll be taken to an ABPersonViewController where they'll be able to select phone numbers and email addresses. After they're finished with the ABPersonViewController, they'll be taken back to the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController. Pretty simple stuff. What I want is to add a detailLabel to the table cell they selected in ABPeoplePickerNavigationController after they chose a phone number or an email address.

I'm trying to copy contacts between my Local contact source and the iCloud contact source and I'm not seeing any results. This code executes without error and seems like it should work, but I don't see the newly created contacts afterward. Anyone see any issues with it? ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); ABRecordRef abSourceSource = ABAddressBookGetSourceWithRecordID(addressBook, kABSourceTypeLocal); ABRecordRef abDestinationSource = ABAddressBookGetSourceWithRecordID(addressBook, kABSourceTypeCardDAV); CFArrayRef sourceContacts = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeopleInSource

I'm try to get birth data for contacts but if user does not choose year or the contact come from Facebook and the year or the data it self is hidden so it give me the "1604" value for the year u can see what i mean in the image. Congratulations, you've discovered an implementation detail! First off, Contacts stores dates as points in time, and it is impossible to store a point in time without a year, because every point in time has a year. Thus, a decision had to be made about how Address Book would store an "unknown" year in a date. It was decided that "1604" would be a fine year, for several
