Time for action – adding a new contact

We will directly go to the example of creating a new contact entry using the Contacts API. The code for this is as follows:

<script type=”text/javascript” charset=”utf-8”>
    // Binding to the events
    document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, onDeviceReady, false);

    // device APIs are ready and available to use
    function onDeviceReady() {
        var myContact = navigator.contacts.create({“displayName”: “Purus Test”});

        var phoneNumbers = [];

        phoneNumbers[0] = new ContactField(‘work', ‘1234567890', false);
        phoneNumbers[1] = new ContactField(‘mobile', ‘2345678901', true); // preferred
        phoneNumbers[2] = new ContactField(‘home', ‘3456789012', false);

        // You can add any other values of Contact object with name and phone numbers
        myContact.phoneNumbers = phoneNumbers;

        myContact.save(onSaveContactSuccess,onSaveContactError);

    }

    function onSaveContactSuccess(contact) {
     ...
