Answer 1

Solved ! I got help from this Link . We can add contacts in Android by Intent.

if (Titanium.Platform.name == 'android') 
            {
                var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent
                ({
                    action: 'com.android.contacts.action.SHOW_OR_CREATE_CONTACT',
                    data: 'mailto:'+firstName+' '+lastName
                });
                    intent.putExtra('email', email);
                    intent.putExtra('email_type', 'Work');
                    intent.putExtra('phone', mobileno);
                    intent.putExtra('phone_type', 'mobile');
                    intent.putExtra('name', firstName+' '+lastName);

                Ti.Android.currentActivity.startActivity(intent);
            }

Alternatively, you can create a new contact by using the createPerson method. You just have to make sure that you have the proper names and structure for each of the properties. Note that the phone numbers are arrays.

Ti.Contacts.createPerson({
    'firstName':fn.value, 
    'lastName':ln.value, 
    'phone':{'mobile':[mobile.value]}
});
