First add few contact in your device ...

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

 document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

function onDeviceReady() {
    // find all contacts with 'Bob' in any name field
    var options = new ContactFindOptions();
    options.filter="Bob"; 
    var fields = ["displayName", "name"];
    navigator.contacts.find(fields, onSuccess, onError, options);

unction onSuccess(contacts) {
    for (var i=0; i<contacts.length; i++) {
        console.log("Display Name = " + contacts[i].displayName);
    }
}



 // onError: Failed to get the contacts
//
function onError(contactError) {
    alert('onError!');
}


}

</script>

  • Hi Gamex.. i have added contacts in my phone and then used your script to retrieve it.. i am able to see the contacts. But my question is when i am saving a contact from my phonegap application then i am not able to view in my contact list, although i can retrieve it by using a similar script like yours.. – Manu Khullar Nov 22 '13 at 11:32
