PhoneNumberPicker

A button that, when clicked on, displays a list of the contacts' phone numbers to choose among. After the user has made a selection, the following properties will be set to information about the chosen contact:

  • ContactName: the contact's name

  • PhoneNumber: the contact's phone number

  • EmailAddress: the contact's email address

  • Picture: the name of the file containing the contact's image, which can be used as a Picture property value for the Image or ImageSprite component.

Other properties affect the appearance of the button (TextAlignment, BackgroundColor, etc.) and whether it can be clicked on (Enabled).

The PhoneNumberPicker component may not work on all Android devices. For example, on Android systems before system 3.0, the returned lists of phone numbers and email addresses will be empty.
