I am trying to fetch selected email property in delegate callback mentioned below
-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
if (property==kABPersonEmailProperty) {
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(emails) > 0) {
NSString *email = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)
ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(emails,identifier));
[recipientEmail setText:email];
[peoplePicker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
}
CFRelease(emails);
}
return NO;
}
But If I select the email property of linked contact (Having single email) I get the identifier as 0, as a result I get the first email-id of primary contact. Eg: John - john@gmail.com john26@gmail.com Roger (Linked Contact) - roger@gmail.com
When I select roger@gmail.com I get john@gmail.com.
I have this same issue. I get the wrong email when I select accounts with multiple email addresses. When I loop through the selected ABMutableMultiValueRef...
for (CFIndex ix = 0; ix < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); ix++) {
CFStringRef label = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, ix);
CFStringRef value = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, ix);
NSLog(@"I have a %@ address: %@", label, value);
if (label) CFRelease(label);
if (value) CFRelease(value);
}
... I get multiple occurrences of the same address, but some with null labels.
> I have a (null) address: john@home.com
> I have a _$!<Work>!$_ address: jsmith@work.com
> I have a _$!<Home>!$_ address: john@home.com
The workaround I will try is to filter out the null labels first, see if the ABMultiValueIdentifier 'fits', and if not revert to the null labels. Unless you have found something?
Edit: this works for me.
NSMutableArray *labeled = [NSMutableArray new];
ABMutableMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (CFIndex ix = 0; ix < ABMultiValueGetCount(emails); ix++) {
CFStringRef label = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, ix);
CFStringRef value = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, ix);
if (label != NULL) {
[labeled addObject:(NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(value)];
}
if (label) CFRelease(label);
if (value) CFRelease(value);
}
NSString *email;
if (labeled.count > identifier) {
email = [labeled objectAtIndex:identifier];
} else {
CFStringRef emailRef = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, identifier);
email = (NSString *)CFBridgingRelease(emailRef);
}
