I'm not finding Apple's documentation very helpful for actually getting data with a people picker, and there doesn't seem to be much other information on the internet :( I assume I need to get the email in this function:
- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier
{
}
What can I put in there to get the email of the selected person?
Use
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(record, kABPersonEmailProperty);
After that, you can use the ABMultiValueRefs API method calls to get email address.
EDIT -- This should give you email
CFStringRef emailId = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, identifier);
Kal answer is actually inaccurate - namely because "ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex" takes an index not identifier.
Identifier value is static (like enumeration)
- "Home Email" is always "0"
- "Work Email" is always "1".
So it will crash when the person selected only have 1 email stored, which is a "Work Email". Since the identifier is "1", but we need index "0".
Luckily we can use following to get the index:
int index = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(emails, identifier);
Code:
if (property == kABPersonEmailProperty) {
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, property);
NSString *count = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Count: %d Identifier: %d", ABMultiValueGetCount(emails), identifier];
UIAlertView *alert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"alert" message:count delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
[alert show];
[alert release];
if(ABMultiValueGetCount(emails) > 0)
{
int index = ABMultiValueGetIndexForIdentifier(emails, identifier);
CFStringRef emailTypeSelected = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, index);
CFStringRef emailTypeSelectedLocalized = ABAddressBookCopyLocalizedLabel(ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex(emails, index));
CFStringRef emailValueSelected = ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, index);
self.lblEmailType.text = (NSString *) emailTypeSelected;
self.lblEmailTypeLocalized.text = (NSString *) emailTypeSelectedLocalized;
self.lblEmailValue.text = (NSString *) emailValueSelected;
}
[ self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES ];
return NO;
}
return YES;
