iPhone AddressBook - how to create a new record with app from my App

问题

I'm trying to create a new record of Person thru my App. I have the name, email and phone nr. How can i pass them to the modal view of newPerson? I'm following Apple's docs, but i'm stuck. I'm using a ABNewPersonViewController. Is that correct? How do I fill the fields in the modal view?

Thanks,

If you want to display something in the ABNewPersonViewController, you have to create and set up an ABRecordRef for the properties you want to pre-fill and then set the displayedPerson property on ABNewPersonViewController. So a simple example may be:

- (void)createNewPerson
{
  // Create the pre-filled properties
  ABRecordRef newPerson = ABPersonCreate();
  CFErrorRef error = NULL;
  ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, CFSTR("John"), &error);
  ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonLastNameProperty, CFSTR("Smith"), &error);
  NSAssert( !error, @"Something bad happened here." );

  // Create and set-up the new person view controller
  ABNewPersonViewController* newPersonViewController = [[ABNewPersonViewController alloc] initWithNibName:nil bundle:nil];
  [newPersonViewController setDisplayedPerson:newPerson];
  [newPersonViewController setNewPersonViewDelegate:self];

  // Wrap in a nav controller and display
  UINavigationController *navController = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController:newPersonViewController];
  [self presentModalViewController:navController animated:YES];

  // Clean up everything
  [navController release];
  [newPersonViewController release];
  CFRelease(newPerson);
}

if you already have the details and you just want to write them to the address book then you don't need the - ABNewPersonViewController. the ABNewPersonViewController is used for letting the user to add record to the address book with the common controller of the iphone address book.

instead you should do the following:

a) add the address book () frame work to your app.

b) import the address book headers to your view.

c) create an addressbook instanse and a new record:

ABAddressBookRef iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
     ABRecordRef newPerson = ABPersonCreate();

d) for single value properties you use:

  ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, CFSTR("Katie"), nil);
  ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonLastNameProperty, CFSTR("Bell"), nil);

e)for the multy value properties such as phone number / mail you use:

ABMutableMultiValueRef multiPhone = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);

    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, @"054-5429920", kABHomeLabel, NULL);

    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone,@"02-9809878", kABWorkLabel, NULL); 

    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonPhoneProperty, multiPhone,nil);
    CFRelease(multiPhone);


        ABMutableMultiValueRef multiEmail = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABMultiStringPropertyType);

    ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiEmail, @"shannoga@me.com", kABHomeLabel, NULL);

    ABRecordSetValue(newPerson, kABPersonEmailProperty, multiEmail, &error);
    CFRelease(multiEmail);

f) save the changes to the address book, none of the code you wrote wond take effect with out this:

ABAddressBookAddRecord(addressBook, newPerson, nil);
    BOOL didAdd = ABAddressBookSave(addressBook, nil);

g) relese the record and the address book and check if the record addaed:

CFRelease(newPerson);
    CFRelease(addressBook);
    NSLog(@"didAdd = %d",didAdd);

thats all good luck hope it helped
