Access to people info in iPhone address book

abpeoplepickerview, ios, iphone, objective-c

Solution

I used this to show a list of phone numbers so my user can select one:

- (IBAction)getContact:(id)sender
{
    ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
    picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
    picker.displayedProperties = [NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonPhoneProperty]];
    [self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];
}

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{    
    // ensure user picked a phone property
    if(property == kABPersonPhoneProperty)
    {
        ABMultiValueRef phone = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
        self.contactTextField.text = (__bridge NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phone, ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(phone, identifier));

        [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }
    else
        /* Display message if selection is not a phone number */

    return NO;
}

Edit: Updated for iOS 7 & iOS 8

// Delegate Method for iOS 7
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{    
    // ensure user picked a phone property
    if(property == kABPersonPhoneProperty)
    {
        ABMultiValueRef phone = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
        self.contactTextField.text = (__bridge NSString *)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phone, ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(phone, identifier));

        [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    }
    else
        /* Display message if selection is not a phone number */

    return NO;
}

// Delegate Method for iOS 8
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
    // Call the delegate method for iOS 7
    [self peoplePickerNavigationController:peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:person property:property identifier:identifier];
}

Problem

I need to give user opportunity to choose phone number from address book, so I took example from apple manual. But it takes only the first number, how I can make so user can choose one of one's numbers in address book. ``` - (IBAction)adressBook:(UIButton *)sender { ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init]; picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self; [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES]; } - (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker { [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; } - (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person { [self displayPerson:person]; [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES]; return NO; } - (void)displayPerson:(ABRecordRef)person { NSString* phone = nil; ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty); if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) { phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*) ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, 0); } else { phone = @"[None]"; } self.telNumber.text = phone; CFRelease(phoneNumbers); } ```
