iphone bring up address book contact

Question

I am having some trouble accessing the iphone addressbook given a ABReferenceID.

The method is being called correctly (accessoryButtonTappedForRowWithIndexPath), all the #import stuff is fine (as I can save the data no problem).

I have a contact with ReferenceID = 69273024, I simply want to bring 'him up.

I am trying to do this with the following technique, but line 2 is wrong. I can't work out how to correctly integrate the number into the problem. Any tips?

ABPersonViewController *pvc = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];
pvc.displayedPerson = 69273024;

[[self navigationController] pushViewController:pvc animated:YES];  

Regards, norskben.

Answer 1

The displayedPerson property should be set to an ABRecordRef. You can get the ABRecordRef from the ABRecordID using ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID. You can get the ABAddressBookRef using ABAddressBookCreate.

UPDATE
Here is example code, but I haven't tested it:

ABPersonViewController *pvc = [[ABPersonViewController alloc] init];
pvc.displayedPerson = ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID(ABAddressBookCreate(),69273024);

[[self navigationController] pushViewController:pvc animated:YES];
[pvc release];
