Contacts in a tab bar application

[anthonyk]

Hello,

I'm developing a tab bar application with one of the tabs to display the contacts.

When I use this code in in the viewDidLoad:

ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
[self presentModalViewControllericker animated:YES];
[picker release];

The contacts are displayed but the tab bar is disappearing, plus if I change tabs and go back to the contacts tab bar item, the contacts are not displaying again.

Can I use the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController in the tab bar and let it load the contacts in any way or I have to get the contacts and fill them in a UITableView.

Thanks a lot for your help,

Anthony Korkmaz

[self.view addSubview:yourPicker];

@anthonyk,
I am facing the same problem could you please explain me how to make view of ABPeoplePickerNavigationController that don't cover the tab bar items . I really googled a lot but unsuccessful. the presentmodelviewcontroller covering the whole screen.

When i use [self.view addSubview:yourPicker.view]; it just showing the Navigation bar with tile All Contact and Navigation bar item Cancel.
There is no contact on the view.

- (void)viewWillAppearBOOL)animated {


ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;


[self.view addSubviewicker.view];
[picker release];


[super viewWillAppear:animated];
}




Thanks in advance!
