B4i Library [class] Contacts Library

Hi,

Please see attached a wrapper for ABAddressBook to access iOS contacts.
I will create a tutorial a bit later but it is very easy. Please see the attached project.
You can access contacts and also create a new contact.
There is a little bug when authorizing first time, the app is not continuing after first authorization.

Please let me know your thoughts

In debug mode it works a bit slowly, but in release mode is perfect.

This is very cool!

Do you know why the authorisation doesn't work the first time?

 

[narek adonts]

I will check)

 

[Albi]

thank you kindly.

Do you also know if there is a way to get the sorting type that the user has in their phonebook (ie sort_by_firstname, or sort_by_lastname)?
do I just run GetAllContacts instead of GetAllContacts2 or GetAllContacts3? (I tried that and it returned an apparently random order!)

GetAllContacts (SortOrdering As Int)

 

[Albi]

sorry, i meant how to get the users preference for sorting, based on their iPhone settings and use that instead of setting it when initialising.
I should have googled it first!
I just changed the mContacts file, in a GetAllContacts function, to have

ABPersonGetSortOrdering()

instead of

kABPersonSortByFirstName

and it works.
