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.
