Question

I am developing address book app. When user selects a user from a contact list , I want to open that record directly in EDIT mode using ABPersonViewController instead of clickng Edit button of ABPersonViewController. How can I achieve this? Thanks

Answer 1

Just call setEditing after the view is displayed:

ABPersonViewController *ab = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];
ab.allowsEditing = YES;
// customize as you see fit
[self.navigationController pushViewController:ab animated:YES];
[ab setEditing:YES animated:NO];

I tried this on the iPad from within a popover controller and that works fine.
