Contacts

The contacts object provides access to the device contacts database.

Important privacy note: Collection and use of contact data raises important privacy issues. Your app's privacy policy should discuss how the app uses contact data and whether it is shared with any other parties. Contact information is considered sensitive because it reveals the people with whom a person communicates. Therefore, in addition to your app's privacy policy, you should strongly consider providing a just-in-time notice prior to your app accessing or using contact data (if the device operating system doesn't do so already). That notice should provide the same information noted above, as well as obtaining the user's permission (e.g., by presenting choices for "OK" and "No Thanks"). Note that some app marketplaces may require your app to provide just-in-time notice and obtain permission from the user prior to accessing contact data. A clear and easy to understand user experience surrounding the use of contact data will help avoid user confusion and perceived misuse of contact data. For more information, please see the Privacy Guide.

contacts.create

Returns a new Contact object.

var contact = navigator.contacts.create(properties);

Description

The contacts.create method is synchronous, and returns a new Contact object.

This method does not retain the Contact object in the device contacts database, for which you need to invoke the Contact.save method.

Supported Platforms

  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
  • iOS
  • Windows Phone 7 and 8

Quick Example

var myContact = navigator.contacts.create({"displayName": "Test User"});

contacts.find

Queries the device contacts database and returns one or more Contact objects, each containing the fields specified.

navigator.contacts.find(contactFields, contactSuccess, contactError, contactFindOptions);

Description

The contacts.find method executes asynchronously, querying the device contacts database and returning an array of Contact objects. The resulting objects are passed to the contactSuccess callback function specified by the contactSuccess parameter.

The contactFields parameter specifies the fields to be used as a search qualifier, and only those results are passed to the contactSuccess callback function. A zero-length contactFields parameter is invalid and results in ContactError.INVALID_ARGUMENT_ERROR. A contactFields value of "*" returns all contact fields.

The contactFindOptions.filter string can be used as a search filter when querying the contacts database. If provided, a case-insensitive, partial value match is applied to each field specified in the contactFields parameter. If there's a match for any of the specified fields, the contact is returned.

Parameters

  • contactFields: Contact fields to use as a search qualifier. The resulting Contact object only features values for these fields. (DOMString[]) [Required]
  • contactSuccess: Success callback function invoked with the contacts returned from the database. [Required]
  • contactError: Error callback function, invoked when an error occurs. [Optional]
  • contactFindOptions: Search options to filter contacts. [Optional]

Supported Platforms

  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
  • iOS
  • Windows Phone 7 and 8
  • Windows 8

Android 2.X Quirks

  • pref: Not supported, returning false on Android 2.X devices.

BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher) Quirks

  • pref: Not supported on Blackberry devices, returning false.
  • type: Partially supported. Only one each of Work and Home type addresses can be stored per contact.
  • formatted: Partially supported. Returns a concatenation of all BlackBerry address fields.
  • streetAddress: Supported. Returns a concatenation of BlackBerry address1 and address2 address fields.

ContactField

Supports generic fields in a Contact object. Some properties stored as ContactField objects include email addresses, phone numbers, and URLs.

Properties

  • type: A string that indicates what type of field this is, home for example. (DOMString)
  • value: The value of the field, such as a phone number or email address. (DOMString)
  • pref: Set to true if this ContactField contains the user's preferred value. (boolean)

Details

The ContactField object is a reusable component that represents contact fields generically. Each ContactField object contains a value, type, and pref property. A Contact object stores several properties in ContactField[] arrays, such as phone numbers and email addresses.

In most instances, there are no pre-determined values for a ContactField object's type attribute. For example, a phone number can specify type values of home, work, mobile, iPhone, or any other value that is supported by a particular device platform's contact database. However, for the Contact photos field, the type field indicates the format of the returned image: url when the value attribute contains a URL to the photo image, or base64 when the value contains a base64-encoded image string.

Supported Platforms

  • Android
  • BlackBerry WebWorks (OS 5.0 and higher)
  • iOS
  • Windows Phone 7 and 8
  • Windows 8

Quick Example

    // create a new contact
