Steal Contacts Demo not working

[vofili]

Hi @cfjedimaster

I tried running the steal contacts demo with the cordova contacts plugin.

here's an snippet of my deviceReady

 onDeviceReady: function() {
        this.receivedEvent('deviceready');
        console.log("Device ready event ");

        //get contacts on user's device
        navigator.contacts.find(
        [navigator.contacts.fieldType.displayName],
        gotContacts,
        errorHandler);

      function gotContacts(c) {
        console.log("gotContacts, number of results "+c.length);

        for(var i=0, len=c.length; i<len; i++) {
            console.dir(c[i]);
        }
      }
        function errorHandler(e) {
        console.log("error " + e);

      }

    }

And the result i get when i run on an actual device:

Please help with this as the stealcontacts demo isn't working

This looks to be a bug with the plugin itself - not my code. I'd file a bug report with them.

Closing for now.

Okay thanks for clarifying this.

So, what version of the plugin can I add to my cordova project would work?

[cfjedimaster]

You are using the right plugin, but it has a bug. So you need to report a bug on their repo so they can fix it.
