Question

I’ve followed the following tutorial, in the simulator it works great, however on my phone when select the address, Google maps launchs, I think I’ve fried my brain on this. I am using this in conjunction to a NavBarContolloer Any help would be great.

Taken from: Cocoa Touch Tutorial: Extract Address Book Address Values on iPhone OS

Here’s the code:

#import "RootViewController.h"
#import "SecondViewController.h"
#import "ThirdViewController.h"
#import "FourthViewController.h"


@implementation ThirdViewController

@synthesize fourthViewController;
@synthesize firstName;
@synthesize lastName;
@synthesize addressLabel;

-(IBAction)switchPage:(id)sender
{
    if(self.fourthViewController == nil)
    {
        FourthViewController *fourthView = [[FourthViewController alloc]
                                          initWithNibName:@"FourthView" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
        self.fourthViewController = fourthView;
        [fourthView release];
    }

    [self.navigationController pushViewController:self.fourthViewController animated:YES];
}

-(IBAction)getContact {
    // creating the picker
    ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
    // place the delegate of the picker to the controll
    picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;

    // showing the picker
    [self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
    // releasing
    [picker release];
}

- (void)peoplePickerNavigationControllerDidCancel:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker {
    // assigning control back to the main controller
    [self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {

    // setting the first name
    firstName.text = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);

    // setting the last name
    lastName.text = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty);   

    // setting the street name
    //ABMultiValueRef street = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressProperty);
    // street.text = (NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonAddressStreetKey);  

    // setting the number
    /*
     this function will set the first number it finds

     if you do not set a number for a contact it will probably
     crash
     */
    ABMultiValueRef multi = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty);
    number.text = (NSString*)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(multi, 0);

    // remove the controller
    //[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

    return YES;

In

-[ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate peoplePickerNavigationController:shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:property:identifier:]

you need to return NO in order not to launch Google Maps. Returning YES would continue with the default action, which on the device is launching Google Maps.
