Contactos Plugin for Flutter #

Description #

A Flutter plugin to access and manage the device's contacts.

Installation #

To use this plugin, add contactos as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file. For example:

dependencies:
    contactos: ^1.0.0

Permissions #

Android #

Add the following permissions to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />

iOS #

Set the NSContactsUsageDescription in your Info.plist file.

<key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
<string>This app requires contacts access to function properly.</string>

And add PermissionGroup.contacts in your Podfile

target.build_configurations.each do |config|
    config.build_settings
    ['GCC_PREPROCESSOR_DEFINITIONS'] ||= [
        '$(inherited)',

        ## dart: PermissionGroup.contacts
        'PERMISSION_CONTACTS=1',
    ]
end

Note contactos does not handle the process of asking and checking for permissions. To check and request user permission to access contacts, try using the following plugins: permission_handler.

If you do not request user permission or have it granted, the application will fail. For testing purposes, you can manually set the permissions for your test app in Settings for your app on the device that you are using. For Android, go to "Settings" - "Apps" - select your test app - "Permissions" - then turn "on" the slider for contacts.

Example #

// Import package
import 'package:contactos/contactos.dart';

// Get all contacts on device.
List<Contact> contacts = await Contactos.instance.getContacts();

// Get all contacts without thumbnail (faster).
List<Contact> contacts = await Contactos.instance.getContacts(withThumbnails: false);

// Android only: Get thumbnail for an avatar afterwards (only necessary if `withThumbnails: false` is used).
Uint8List avatar = await Contactos.instance.getAvatar(contact);

// Get contacts matching a string.
List<Contact> johns = await Contactos.instance.getContacts(query : "john");

// Add a contact.
// The contact must have a firstName / lastName to be successfully added.
await Contactos.instance.addContact(newContact);

// Delete a contact.
// The contact must have a valid identifier.
await Contactos.instance.deleteContact(contact);

// Update a contact.
// The contact must have a valid identifier.
await Contactos.instance.updateContact(contact);

// Usage of the native device form for creating a Contact.
// Throws a error if the Form could not be open or the Operation is canceled by the User.
await Contactos.instance.openContactForm();

// Usage of the native device form for editing a Contact.
// The contact must have a valid identifier.
// Throws a error if the Form could not be open or the Operation is canceled by the User.
await Contactos.instance.openExistingContact(contact);
