Hello @rnyacoub9,

At this time it’s not supported, but we have received feedback from other users who desire this. I will mention it to the engineers again and see what the potential likelihood is of having this added.

This would be a great addition for business apps!

#5

It would be a great feature, and a vital one if you want to be taken seriously as a business app solution. It also surprises me that we have very little native keyboard control… customizing the submit button etc.

@brent. Anything new regarding contacts (and hopefully text & keyboard control)? @craig42 - right on.

Hi all,

I need to confirm with the engineers, but I believe iOS contact book access is in Q&A (final testing) and should be released in the next week or two. Android is still in the works.

Keyboard control and such is a separate issue. Can all of you list what you’d consider the #1, #2, and #3 features in this regard, so I can present it to the team?

Thanks,

Brent

Given there are multiple items for phone#, street addresses, email address,… I’m hoping these items can be selected individually.  However, any contact booik access would greatly enhance my applications.

What is the status on contacts from phonebook? I am building a business app and this is a critical item.

#14

Yes, these items are passed back to the lua listener that is fired after you select a contact

#15

This is very exciting! So it is happening!!! Great news and thanks much!!!

#16

Is there an update on when this will be included in a daily build? I have an app that’s ready to go but is missing one feature - letting the user select from the device’s contacts. Please give me an idea on how close the Corona devs are so that I can determine the best course of action for my app. Thanks!

You can customize the submit key on keyboard

Hi @chrishanson.php,

Essentially, the plugin is being melded into the build process now, then we’ll do a bit more testing and release it. So it’s quite close.

@Brent - thanks for your previous reply. Is there any update on when this new functionality should be released? I’m at an almost complete standstill. If it’s still being QA’d or whatever, is it possible for you to at least publish the interface of the Corona Contacts API so that I can mock it for now?

Thanks!

Hi Chris. If you are talking about the address book “UI” there isn’t a custom one. We simply show the same view controller as you can already see in apples contacts application.
