If a contact has only 1 phone number, I want to select it. If it has more than 1 phone number, then I want to display the detailed contact card.
I am using the below method, which works fine.
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
if (person != nil) {
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) == 1) {
//Do stuff to select phone number
}
}
}
Then, I implement this Utility method to display Detailed Contact card:
- (void)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker didSelectPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
NSString* phone = nil;
ABMultiValueRef phoneNumbers = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
if (ABMultiValueGetCount(phoneNumbers) > 0) {
CFIndex index = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(phoneNumbers, identifier);
phone = (__bridge_transfer NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(phoneNumbers, index);
}
}
but this method never gets called? If I comment out the first method, then the second method gets called. How can I call both, or is there another way to achieve this?
The solution is to do this is to add a predicate
before starting the peoplePicker
in this case it would be:
-(void)getContacts {
ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePicker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
peoplePicker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
if ([peoplePicker respondsToSelector:@selector(setPredicateForSelectionOfPerson:)])
{
// The people picker will select a person that has exactly one phone number and call peoplePickerNavigationController:didSelectPerson:,
// otherwise the people picker will present an ABPersonViewController for the user to pick one of the Phone Numbers.
peoplePicker.predicateForSelectionOfPerson = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"phoneNumbers.@count = 1"];
}
[self presentViewController:peoplePicker animated:NO completion:nil];
}
similarly in case of emailAdresses, replace : @"phoneNumbers.@count = 1"
with @"emailAddresses.@count = 1"
.
