Hello Deon,
Sorry, I'm not sure I understand you correctly, could you please clarify - you want to create a new contact in a phone contacts using your app?
Hi Evgene
Correct. It seems that the Contacts Service only allows you to retrieve contacts and and there is no facility to write to contacts.
I have created an app to collect contact info and I need this to be written to the Device's Contacts.
Thank you
Hi Deon,
Yes contacts service only gets contacts from device..
Here is a JS code to add needed contact to device:
pre
//Here contact details object.
var testContact = {"displayName": "Test User1"};
var myContact = navigator.contacts.create(testContact);
myContact.save();
/pre
You can fill "testContact" object with all field you need.
Regards.
Awesome, thank you Yurri!
