[MonoTouch] iOS 6 ABAddressBook.RequestAccess example
Hi there,
I'm new to both C# and iOS and I'm looking for an example of how to
implement ABAddressBook.RequestAccess. Here is my code so far:
private bool GetAddressBook ()
{
if (UIDevice.CurrentDevice.CheckSystemVersion (6, 0)) {
NSError err;
iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBook.Create (out err);
var authStatus = ABAddressBook.GetAuthorizationStatus();
if (authStatus != ABAuthorizationStatus.Authorized) {
// iPhoneAddressBook.RequestAccess <-- is this where to
do it?? how??
using (var alert = new UIAlertView("Contacts
Permission", "We need your
permission to access your phone contacts. Please go to Settings > Privacy >
Contacts", null, "OK", null)) {
alert.Show ();
return false;
}
}
return err == null;
} else {
iPhoneAddressBook = new ABAddressBook ();
return true;
}
}
Thanks for your help guys.

Re: [MonoTouch] iOS 6 ABAddressBook.RequestAccess example
You can use it like this:
iPhoneAddressBook.RequestAccess(delegate(bool granted,
NSError error) {
//do something in here
//this is called back with granted = true if the user
allowed it.
});
This is an async call, so your app will continue to run until the user
says yes or no. Then the delegate gets called.
You dont need to show the dialog yourself - iOS does that for you. You
just need to handle when they say yes/no.

Re: [MonoTouch] iOS 6 ABAddressBook.RequestAccess example
Thanks Nic. I was hoping to get an example of blocking until the delegate
was called, and how that would fit into the code I posted. I'll have a
crack at it somehow. At least you've given me the the correct syntax for
the RequestAccess call.
Ta muchly.

Check out Miguel's answer here:

It will give you an idea how to block code execution.

Re: [MonoTouch] iOS 6 ABAddressBook.RequestAccess example
You could put whatever code you want to be called in another method,
then call it from the block. If it's already authorized, just call it.
private bool GetAddressBook ()
{
if (UIDevice.CurrentDevice.CheckSystemVersion (6, 0)) {
NSError err;
iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBook.Create (out err);
var authStatus = ABAddressBook.GetAuthorizationStatus();
if (authStatus != ABAuthorizationStatus.Authorized) {
iPhoneAddressBook.RequestAccess(delegate(bool granted,
NSError error) {
if (granted) {//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE}
});
} else {
//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE
}
return err == null;
} else {
iPhoneAddressBook = new ABAddressBook ();
//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE
return true;
}
}
However, if you are using an async function, but working in a sync
manner, than you may need to refactor either the above bit, or your
calling code.

Re: [MonoTouch] iOS 6 ABAddressBook.RequestAccess example
Thanks again Nic. This code really needs to be called synchronously because
the app can't continue without access to contacts at this point. What I
ended up doing is checking for authorisation earlier, before loading the
view that required access. Certainly appreciate the help :)
