I'm using the address book, but do not want him to bring contacts from facebook. I made a if statement to filter, but I do not remove it from my array.
ABMultiValueRef emails = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
CFIndex numberOfEmails = ABMultiValueGetCount(emails);
userDetail.allEmails = [@[] mutableCopy];
for (CFIndex i = 0; i < numberOfEmails; i++) {
NSString *email = CFBridgingRelease(ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(emails, i));
if ([email containsString:@"@facebook.com"]) {
NSLog(@"remove emails: %@", userDetail.allEmails);
}
[userDetail.allEmails addObject:email];
}
i use NSPredicate
& NSCompoundPredicate
for filtering.
CFErrorRef *error = NULL;
ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, error);
CFArrayRef allPeople = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);
CFIndex numberOfPeople = ABAddressBookGetPersonCount(addressBook);
NSMutableArray *mylist = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:numberOfPeople];
for(int i = 0; i < numberOfPeople; i++) {
ABRecordRef person = CFArrayGetValueAtIndex( allPeople, i );
NSString *firstName = (__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty));
NSString *lastName = (__bridge NSString *)(ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonLastNameProperty));
ABMultiValueRef email = ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonEmailProperty);
for (CFIndex i = 0; i < ABMultiValueGetCount(email); i++) {
NSString *emailId = (__bridge_transfer NSString *) ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(email, i);
NSDictionary *myObjlist = @{@"email":emailId,@"name":[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ %@",firstName,lastName]};
//NSLog(@"Name:%@ %@ : %@", firstName, lastName,myObjlist);
[mylist addObject:myObjlist];
}
}
//NSLog(@"mylist : %@",mylist);
NSPredicate *p = [NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:
@"SELF['email'] CONTAINS '@facebook.com'"];
NSPredicate *notFilter = [NSCompoundPredicate notPredicateWithSubpredicate:p];
NSArray *res = [mylist filteredArrayUsingPredicate:notFilter];
NSLog(@"awesome %@", res);
let me know if you have any doubts .
