Question about fetching contact's image

[mbayona]

I have downloaded APAdressBook and have been able to test it in one of my projects. After following the instructions in the ReadMe file, I am now able to fetch name, and phone number. However, the email, company and image fields do not work: I am testing using:

        NSLog(@"name is : %@, %@",contacts[0].name.firstName,contacts[0].name.lastName);
        NSLog(@"company is : %@",contacts[0].job.company ?: @"No company");
        NSLog(@"email is : %@",contacts[0].emails[0].address ?: @"No email provided");
        NSLog(@"phone is : %@",contacts[0].phones[0].number ?: @"No phone # provided");
        NSLog(@"image is : %@",contacts[0].thumbnail);

Anybody knows how to accomplish these simple tasks...?

(sorry about the redundancy with my previous post...)

Do you set APContactFieldEmailsOnly (or APContactFieldEmailsWithLabels), APContactFieldJob, APContactFieldThumbnail to fieldMask?

Alexey,

Thanks for your reply,

the following is the code I am using in the viewDidLoad of a generic viewController. I am sending all info to the console for testing purposes.

APAddressBook *addressBook = [[APAddressBook alloc] init];
self.addressBook.fieldsMask = APContactFieldAll;
// don't forget to show some activity
[addressBook loadContacts:^(NSArray <APContact *> *contacts, NSError *error)
{
    // hide activity
    if (!error)
    {
        // do something with contacts array
       NSLog(@"!!!!!! contact Array count is %li",contacts.count);
       NSLog(@"name is : %@, %@",contacts[0].name.firstName,contacts[0].name.lastName);
       NSLog(@"company is : %@",contacts[0].job.company ?: @"No company");
       NSLog(@"email is : %@",contacts[0].emails[0].address ?: @"No email provided");
       //NSLog(@"phone is : %@",contacts[0].phones[0].number ?: @"No phone # provided");
       NSLog(@"image is : %@",contacts[0].thumbnail);
       UIImage *contactImage1 = contacts[1].thumbnail ?: [UIImage imageNamed:@"ggb.png"];
       //UIImage *contactImage1 = [UIImage imageWithData:(NSData*)contacts[0].thumbnail];
       //_imageTest.image = contactImage1;
       self.imageTest.image = contactImage1;
    }
    else
    {
        // show error
    }
}

Thanks for your help...

Please, try Example app. Does it work correct on your device?

[mbayona]

Alexey,

Yes, the sample app works fine, importing all info, images, etc.

What are the 'must-have' imports needed?

1) If you missed some required import project wouldn't build. Or may be I don't understand your question? 2) So, may be your first contact in contacts array doesn't have thumbnail? Let's add filter block to filter contacts without thumbnails.

addressBook.filterBlock = ^BOOL(APContact *contact)
{
    return contact.thumbnail != nil;
};

Alexey,

the following images show what I have, and the behavior I see. Your Sample project runs perfectly, showing the images that the contacts have and all their info. All I want is to implement my own TableView with output similar to yours. As a preliminary test, I like to see that I have all the info I will need to populate the tableCells.

I have a simple View Controller with an image view in it. That's it. I want to see the contact's picture in that view, so I have all connected accordingly. All other fields and arrays I would like to see in my console before I use them.

Imports:

[image: Inline image 1] Inside the viewDidLoad method I have:

[image: Inline image 2]

The app runs, the image is my default "ggb,png".

The Console shows this:

[image: Inline image 3]

thanks,

Miguel

Dear Alexey,

I am wondering if you got my last email where I included some images...

Sorry, I didn't receive any mail from you.

[belkevich]

Why don't you use code from Example.app?

[mbayona]

Alexey,

I have resolved the issues I had. Your code works very nicely. Thanks for your help.
