Delete the files copied from quick contacts.

Add these two in your view controller.h

#import <AddressBook/AddressBook.h>
#import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>

Also add this delegate

ABPeoplePickerNavigationControllerDelegate

Add this code to your .m file.

-(IBAction)contact {
	ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *picker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
	picker.peoplePickerDelegate = self;
	[self presentModalViewController:picker animated:YES];
	[picker release];
}

Add the below delegates function

- (BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController: (ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person {
	NSString *fir_name=(NSString *)ABRecordCopyValue(person, kABPersonFirstNameProperty);
}

-(BOOL)peoplePickerNavigationController:(ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *)peoplePicker shouldContinueAfterSelectingPerson:(ABRecordRef)person property:(ABPropertyID)property identifier:(ABMultiValueIdentifier)identifier {
	return YES;
}

I may be wrong. But i think quick contacts will run in iOS above 3.2. What version are you building for your app

[ramdas]

version 4.0

As far as i know, these errors are due to framework. i.e. the frameworks are not linked properly

I tried. Add address book into my application but one problem is when I drop call, it comes to the 'Phone" application. I wonder if there are ways that when I drop call, make the screen back to my application but not the iPhone native "Phone" application Thank you

[longst]

by the way, it is said that "The application displays four cells labeled "Display Picker," "Create New Contact," "Display and Edit Contact," and "Edit Unknown Contact." Tap "Display Picker" to browse a list of contacts and choose a person from that list. Tap "Create New Contact" to create a new person. Tap "Display and Edit Contact" to display and edit a person. Tap "Edit Unknown Contact" to add data to an existing person or use them to create a new person."

If I understood correctly, if it is saying that I could put four buttons on the view. Thank you

I am having the same error.

"_OBJC_CLASS_$_ABPersonViewController", referenced from: objc-class-ref-to-ABPersonViewController in ...

I am trying to have the iphones original contact detail view in my application. However I could not do it. I have tried the methods suggested in this thread but I still get the same error.

Some of you said it is because of the frameworks. Could someone experienced tell how I can do it?

I am also open to other methods to have the same exact view. I have tried to mimic the view by using tables by it just does not look the same.

I waiting for your suggestions please
