Environment: Xcode 3.1 OS: Leopard (10.5.4+)
Generic Environment: MacBook Pro & <NDA devices> Greetings: I'm partially clear about access/updating the Address Book using the C interfaces. However, I'm slamming into the wall with confusion on updating a multi-value item like a phone number. Overview: 1) check if person has a particular phone label (e.g., 'mobile'); 2) if so, modify it or create it. This is what I essentially know: 1) Create a local copy of Address Book, with its members already there: ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); 2) Get the target person's record (I've stored the person's "Unique ID"): ABRecordRef thePerson = ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID (addressBook, (NSInteger)[gSelectedMemberDict objectForKey:@"uniqueID"]); 3) Extract the person's multi-value property (which are not mutable, need a copy): a) Copy the value of the particular property (in this case, multi-string property?): ABRecRef abRecRef = < get the Record Reference via its unique id > ABMutableMultiValueRef phoneNumberMultiValue = ABRecordCopyValue( abRecordRef, kABPersonPhoneProperty); --- if found, use it ---- phoneNumberMultValue for loop { --- don't know count syntax here --- } --- if not found, create it ---- ABMutableMultiValueRef phoneNumberMultiValue = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABPersonPhoneProperty); ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(phoneNumberMultiValue, @"(555) 123-4567", kABPersonPhoneMobileLabel, NULL); 4) Now I need to attach this property to the person Record (I'm lost here): bool ABRecordSetValue (thePerson, phoneNumberMultiValue ABRecordRef record, ABPropertyID property, <<-- how do I get this? CFTypeRef value, CFErrorRef *error ); 5) Once I got the person record updated, insert it back into address Book... I don't see an API that actually INSERTS a person's record into the address book.... So do I just do an AddressBook Save? ABAddressBookSave(addressBook, error); I've slammed into the wall here, confused. Much obliged to help...
