Getting contacts displayName and phoneNumbers

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi guys…I am using ionic contacts native for getting the list of contact from phone

.ts:

import { Contacts } from 'ionic-native';
 /////////
 export class ContactPage {
   contactsfound = []

  constructor(public navCtrl: NavController) {
    Contacts.find(["displayName", "phoneNumbers"], {multiple: true}).then((contacts) => {
      this.contactsfound = contacts;
     })
    }
   }

.html:

   <ion-content>
     <ion-list>
        <ion-list-header>Follow us on Twitter</ion-list-header>
           <ion-item *ngFor="let item of contactsfound">
            {{ item.displayName }}
           <p>{{ item.phoneNumbers }}</p> 
          </ion-item>
        </ion-list>
     </ion-content>

I am getting the list of displayName correctly however for phoneNumbers i get [object Object]
How to do this??
Also, I want to have a letter on the left-side of the list where is represents the first letter of a group of contacts starting with that letter (e.g. A list group then scrolling B list group) … it would be great if someone provides an insight regarding this. thanx

what you are doing is correct… besides I don’t see your html side… also it presents error if you are running with ionic serve , you should run on phone ionic run android --prod --device

follow this to learn how to debug using dev tools with your phone connected (to retrieve contact data) and then you can log and see how the retrieved array looks like and how to access it properly

I also posted a question , and provided answer too but in a little different way… I took what I needed from contacts (name and number) and stored in new array (for saving them in storage so not everytime it keeps loading, and just get it from storage when the user navigates again to contacts) but you have to also take care of when there is a number added/removed from the contacts , and how your app should update that piece of info (or keep loading everytime, its up to you)

Im not really sure… but it seems your device is not discovered…its trying to run it on an emulator instead. its better if you post a question

did you get a solution to the [object, object] issue? I am having that problem too :frowning:

@skmasinda A Contact’s phoneNumbers is an array of phone numbers, even if they only have 1.

So you need a secondary list to display each one
