I have followed Apple's programming guide to extract a phone number from a user's Address Book. What I would like to do is to set a search value in the search bar of the picker view of the Address Book to narrow the list. Can it be done?

Note: I do not want to "import" the whole address book and do a search from there.

  • No, you can't open the address book from your app. Sounds like you want something like `ABPeoplePickerNavigationController` – danielbeard Aug 29 '12 at 07:21
  • @danielbeard, it can be done. I can get a phone number from it. But now I want to reduce scrolling by the user to search for a contact. So I mainly want to insert a text into the search bar of the address book. – Rick Aug 29 '12 at 07:40
  • Some clarification is needed here. The programming guide linked is using `ABPeoplePickerNavigationController`, so your question should be updated to reflect that you want to populate text in the picker view rather than the actual address book app. – danielbeard Aug 29 '12 at 08:05
  • @danielbeard, thanks for the clarification. So, can it be done? – Rick Aug 29 '12 at 08:15
