ContactPicker

The ContactPicker is a component written in Kotlin Multiplatform that natively implements selecting a contact for Android and iOS.

How to use:

• In build.gradle file, add this dependency

  commonMain.dependencies {
      implementation("io.github.dalafiarisamuel:contactpicker:0.1.1")
  }
  

Code sample:

1. Read Contacts Permission

   Android

   On Android you need to add the following permission to your AndroidManifest.xml file:

   <!-- For Read Contacts -->
   <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" />

   iOS

   On iOS you need to add the following key to your Info.plist file:

   <key>NSContactsUsageDescription</key>
   <string>Contacts permission is required to access user's contacts</string>

   The string value is the message that will be displayed to the user when the permission is requested.

2. Using rememberContactPickerState() composable

   //in your commonMain package
   @Composable
   fun ContactPickerComponent() {
       
       val contactPicker = rememberContactPickerState {
           println(it)
       }
   
       val contactSelected by contactPicker.value
       
       //handle platform specific contact permission before calling launchContactPicker()
   
       Column(Modifier.fillMaxWidth(), horizontalAlignment = Alignment.CenterHorizontally) {
           Button(onClick = { contactPicker.launchContactPicker() }) {
               Text("Pick Contact!")
           }
   
           Spacer(modifier = Modifier.padding(20.dp))
   
           Text("Selected Contact: ${contactSelected?.name}")
   
       }
   }
