Get Contact Number From Contact Name

[Mert Kırımgeri]

Hello everyone,I have a problem about my app,because I want to get contact number(from phone contacts) with name.
So, I give contact name and get that contact's number.Can I do it with AI 2 ? Or need and 3rd party app ?

Save both the contact number and name to a list of lists and a TinyDB (if you want persistence)

Get your number from the contact picker, compare that number from the list of lists

Use the lookup in pairs key, pair, not found block

If it is there, grap the contact name, if it is not there  ...sorry not in your list, put it in your list.

You can have your party with AI2, you just do not have a tool to do it in one step.

Regards,

Steve

thanks for your help,but I dont want to show contact list popup.Is another way exist ?

[SteveJG]

Then do not use it.   Make your own contact list...using a ListPicker ...whatever you would like.

AI2 has the tools to build something like this.   Try some blocks. :)

you can do it using the Google Contacts API

https://developers.google.com/google-apps/contacts/v3/

see an example here
