I am creating a IONIC ANDROID APP using cordova-plugin-contacts plugin to read the contacts and display them in ion-list.

app.js
// Ionic Starter App
// angular.module is a global place for creating, registering and retrieving Angular modules
// 'starter' is the name of this angular module example (also set in a <body> attribute in index.html)
// the 2nd parameter is an array of 'requires'
angular.module('starter', ['ionic','starter.controllers'])
.run(function($ionicPlatform) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
// Hide the accessory bar by default (remove this to show the accessory bar above the keyboard
// for form inputs)
if(window.cordova && window.cordova.plugins.Keyboard) {
cordova.plugins.Keyboard.hideKeyboardAccessoryBar(true);
}
if(window.StatusBar) {
StatusBar.styleDefault();
}
});
})
controllers.js
angular.module('starter.controllers', [])
.controller('CListControl', function ($scope) {
$scope.CListItems=[{displayName: 'Mohit'}];
document.getElementById("Data").innerHTML="Undone";
//funtion to add items to the existing list
$scope.showcontact = function() {
console.log("before event");
document.getElementById("Data").innerHTML="Done";
document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);
function init() {
console.log("init");
var options = new ContactFindOptions();
options.multiple= true;
options.hasPhoneNumber = true;
var fields = [navigator.contacts.fieldType.displayName,navigator.contacts.fieldType.phoneNumbers];
navigator.contacts.find(fields, gotContacts, errorHandler, options);
console.log("init end");
}
//Error Alerting
function errorHandler(e) {
alert("errorHandler: "+e);
}
//Script to remove all the contacts without phonenumber.
function gotContacts(c) {
var i=0;
len=c.length;
while (i<len)
{
if (c[i].phoneNumbers==null)
{
c.splice(i,1);
if (i!=0) {i-=1;}
len-=1;
}
else
{
$scope.CListItems.push(c[i]);
}
i+=1;
}
alert("Found:"+$scope.CListItems.length+" Contacts");
}
}
});
My Output:-
The app starts fine, upon clicking the Add New Contact button, after some time I am getting an alert showing me the no of contacts. But only 1 item in the ion-list is showing i.e. ‘Mohit’.
But when I click the Add new Contact button again, all the contacts are populated in the ion-list.
My Problem:-
As I explained, I think the app is working 1 click behind. Any Ideas whats causing that.
I am new to ionic framework and also javascript so please point me out if its a simple mistake.
Thank you.
