Question

Can anyone please provide me with a few lines of code i can use to add contacts into iphone without using the UI controls.There have been a few answers stating its simplicity but none has mentioned a few steps to do.Thanks

Answer 1

1. Read the Address Book Programming Guide for iOS.
2. Get a reference to the address book: ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();.
3. Create a new person record: ABRecordRef person = ABPersonCreate();.
4. Set the person’s properties, e.g.: ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty, CFSTR("Katie"), &anError);.
5. Add the record to the address book: ABAddressBookAddRecord().
6. Save the changes: ABAddressBookSave().
7. CFRelease(addressBook);.
