**I have tried to run the code on different devices and still can Not pass the blank white screen!**

**If I remove contacts import, everything works fine, but with the contacts code in it, whole program stucks on the load.**

**Please, do you have Any Suggestions?**

**this is my code:**

**home.ts**  
import { Component } from ‘@angular/core’;  
import { NavController } from ‘ionic-angular’;  
import { Contacts, Contact, ContactField, ContactName } from ‘@ionic-native/contacts’;

@Component({  
selector: ‘page-home’,  
templateUrl: ‘home.html’  
})  
export class HomePage {  
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,private contacts: Contacts) { }

showButton(){  
alert(‘activated’);  
let contact: Contact = this.contacts.create();  
[contact.name](http://contact.name) = new ContactName(null, ‘Chat’, ‘Contact’);  
contact.phoneNumbers = [new ContactField(‘mobile’, ‘123456789’)];  
contact.save().then(  
() =\> console.log(‘Contact saved!’, contact),  
(error: any) =\> console.error(‘Error saving contact.’, error)  
);  
}  
}

**home.html**  
  
Show Contact Page…  
  
  
\<button ion-button color=“secondary” (click)=“showButton()”\>Show Conact

An error of some sort would be nice. Have you checked the logs?

Did you add Contacts as a provider in your app module?

thank you for your reply Sigmund.

I am quite new to ionic development.

Unfortunately, I see no logs at all, not even alert, as it freezes on the load process.

I run the project using: ionic run android

No, I have not added it as a provider. I will give you feedback as soon as I test it.

Adding as a provider solved the Problem & I marked your response as a Solution.

Thanks a lot!!!

You actually saved my time and nerves …
