Address Book Framework and POP, IMAP, or ActiveSync Contacts

Question

Can the ABPeoplePickerNavigationController be called to display Contacts from a different account than the default? For example, a gmail, or Exchange account? I've read the ABAddressBook documentation and all I find is code below to the default Address Book on the iphone.

ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();

Answer 1

The iPhone doesn't store contacts like that. You may be able to access a user's GMail contacts through a GMail API, but if that's the case then you wouldn't be using the built-in address book. As of right now, the answer is no.
