I'm having a problem with the Firefox OS Contacts API.
I'm just copying the code from this page https://wiki.mozilla.org/ContactsAPI#Create_contact_example
var contact = new mozContact({name: ["John Doe"], givenName: ["John"], familyName: ["Doe"]});
var request = navigator.mozContacts.save(contact);
request.onsuccess = function() {
alert("Success saving contact. New contact ID: " + contact.id);
};
request.onerror = function() {
alert("Error saving contact.");
};
But the contact is saved as "No name". I didn't change anything in the code (it's from the official documentation) and the permissions are ok, as readwrite. I'm running on the simulator. Does anyone know why is this happening?
Doh! The example code in that page matches the code on mozilla-central, or the latest version of Gecko/Firefox OS. Things are slightly different in 1.1, you have to initialize the mozContact object like this:
var contact = new mozContact();
contact.init({name: ["John Doe"], givenName: ["John"], familyName: ["Doe"]});
Sorry about that. Our Wiki is not the most friendly place to look for example code, since it's targeted at Firefox OS/Gecko hackers, not web developers. We try to keep MDN updated about compatibility issues like this; see the example code in the MDN Contacts page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Contacts
