How to open native add contact interface using ionic/cordova

Question

My requirement is to open native add contact interface using ionic. I googled but could not get proper answer.

Answer 1

I don't think that there is currently a plugin that will open the add contact interface.

But you could create such a plugin on your own, there is a good tutorial of cordova how a plugin is created:

Create a Cordova Plugin Tutorial

Then you have to find a way how to open the add contact interface. There is a plugin that opens the native settings interface, that will show you how you can do this:

Open Native Settings iOS Open Native Settings Android

Without testing it I think that will do it for Android:

this.cordova.getActivity().startActivity(new Intent(Intent.ACTION_INSERT, ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI));

For iOS it will be a bit more complicated, take a look at this guide:
