Get started

Installation

• iOS: Add the following key/value pair to your app's Info.plist

  <plist version="1.0">
  <dict>
      ...
      <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
      <string>Reason we need access to the contact list</string>
  </dict>
  </plist>
  

• Android: Add the following <uses-permissions> tags to your app's AndroidManifest.xml

  <manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ...>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS"/>
      <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS"/>
      <application ...>
      ...
  

Usage

Multi contact can be used in two forms, as a fullscreen dialog or as a standalone screen. My personal preference is a fullscreen dialog.

1. Fullscreen dialog

showDialog(
  context: context,
  barrierDismissible: false,
  builder: (BuildContext context) {
    //Customise the MultiContactPicker to your liking
    return  MultiContactPicker();
  }).then((value) {
    if (value != null){
      debugPrint(value);
    }
  });

2. Material Page

Navigator.push(context,
  MaterialPageRoute(
  builder: (_) => MultiContactPicker()))
  .then((value) {
    if (value != null) {
      // List of selected contacts will be returned to you
      debugPrint(value);
    }
});
