How do you get more data from Contacts2?

[NeoTechni]

It's currently missing the contact's postal address, and names for phone numbers.

What do you with names for phone numbers?

 

[NeoTechni]

I'm making a contacts program replacement and would like the same functionality as the existing one.

My specific case example, is I have my loved ones Home, Mom, Mobile, and Dad's numbers under the same contact with different names indicating which is which. Without the names, I can't tell which number to use other than the main one.

And for addresses, I want a button to pull up a google map

Postal address is currently not accessible with this library.

GetPhones returns the type of each number (PHONE_HOME, PHONE_MOBILE, ...).

 

[NeoTechni]

Is there no way to get the names of a phone number though? Not the type.

 

[Erel]

Can you post a screenshot with this name field?

[Erel]

I don't see these fields here. Strange.

So Mom phone number is the phone number of the contact's mom? Shouldn't there be another contact for her?

 

[NeoTechni]

I prefer to group them together. There's other cases where I do it too

 

[Erel]

Currently you will not be able to extract other fields from Contacts2.

 

[NeoTechni]

Is there any other way to get it?

 

[Erel]

You will need to write a library for that.

Dang. I'm also having trouble getting SMS messages using the ID from the contact. I keep getting zero results.

API.EnumSMSmessages(tempContact.Id)

Sub EnumSMSmessages(PersonID As Int) As List 
   Dim SmsMessages1 As SmsMessages, List1 As List
   If PersonID=-1 Then
      List1 = SmsMessages1.GetUnreadMessages 
   Else
      List1 = SmsMessages1.GetByPersonId(PersonID)
   End If
   
   'debug
   Log(List1.Size & " messages found for person " & PersonID)
   For i = 0 To List1.Size - 1
       Dim theSms As Sms
       theSms = List1.Get(i)
       Log(theSms.Body)
   Next 
   
   Return List1
End Sub
