This plugin is based on the plugins com.monday.contact-chooser and org.apache.cordova.contacts It is fully inspired on the ContactChooser plugin, the trigger to get data is the same. The only thing different is the data that is returned. The plugin will return more data, for example phone numbers, emails and addresses (as in the cordova contacts plugin).

This plugin brings up a native Windows Phone 8, iOS or Android contact-picker overlay, accessing the address-book and returning the selected contact's name, email and phone number.

At this moment the plugin provides a limited result for iOS. If you have suggestions to extend the iOS part as the Android is; you are very welcome to contribute.

Coming soon, first try in 1.0.6

Example Usage

window.plugins.PickContact.chooseContact(function (contactInfo) {
    setTimeout(function () { // use time-out to fix iOS alert problem
        alert(contactInfo.displayName + " " + contactInfo.emailAddress + " " + contactInfo.phoneNr );
    }, 0);
});

The method which will return a JSON. Example:

{
	firstName: "John",
	lastName: "Doe",
    displayName: "John Doe",
	nameFormated: "John Phil Doe",
	nameMiddle: "Phil",
	phoneNr: "+55 55 555 55",
    emailAddress: "john.doe@mail.com",
	address: "Rue 123, Brussels 1000, Belgium",

	city: "Brussels",
	region: "Brussels",
	zipcode: "1000",
	country: "BE",
	contactId: "123",
}
