Have UIButton display "Add to Contacts" popover


My Application is on an iPad. I have a UIButton that I would like to mimic the action of when a user selects a phone number from a UITextField, and then selects the "Add to Contacts" button from the popover. In short, I would like that popover to appear over my UIButton when a user presses it.

I was just wondering if anyone has thought of possible ways to accomplish this, or is my only option to add contacts in iOS is to use ABUnknownPersonViewController?


Solution

  • You should link the button to perform a method that pushes an ABNewPersonViewController to the top of the ABPeoplePickerNavigationControler, where the user can then go and enter the data. This is what the NewPerson vc is made for.
