Address Book

Address Book API provides an interface to work with phone address book, upload it to server and retrieve already registered ConnectyCube users from your address book.

With conjunction of User authentication via phone number you can easily organize a modern state of the art logic in your App where you can easily start chatting with your phone contacts, without adding them manually as friends - the same what you can see in WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook Messenger and Viber.

Upload Address Book

First of all you need to upload your Address Book to the backend. It’s a normal practice to do a full upload for the 1st time and then upload diffs on future app logins.

//val UDID = UUID.randomUUID().toString()
val UDID: String? = null
val force = true

val contact = ConnectycubeContact(phone = "13656516112", name = "Bob Bobson")
val contactsGlobal: ArrayList<ConnectycubeContact> = arrayListOf(contact)

ConnectyCube.uploadAddressBook(contactsGlobal, force, UDID, successCallback = {result -> }, errorCallback = { error ->})

//val UDID = Utils.generateDeviceId(context)
val UDID: String? = null
val force = true

val contact = ConnectycubeAddressBookContact().apply {
    phone = "13656516112"
    name = "Bob Bobson"
}

val contactsGlobal: ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact> = ArrayList()
contactsGlobal.add(contact)

ConnectycubeUsers.uploadAddressBook(contactsGlobal, UDID, force)
    .performAsync(object : EntityCallback<ConnectycubeAddressBookResponse> {
        override fun onSuccess(result: ConnectycubeAddressBookResponse,
                               params: Bundle?
        ) {

        }

        override fun onError(responseException: ResponseException) {

        }
})

//String UDID = Utils.generateDeviceId(context);
String UDID = null;
boolean force = true;

ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact> contactsGlobal = new ArrayList<>();

ConnectycubeAddressBookContact contact = new ConnectycubeAddressBookContact();
contact.setPhone("13656516112");
contact.setName("Bob Bobson");

contactsGlobal.add(contact);

ConnectycubeUsers.uploadAddressBook(contactsGlobal, UDID, force).performAsync(new EntityCallback<ConnectycubeAddressBookResponse>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(ConnectycubeAddressBookResponse result, Bundle params) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(ResponseException responseException) {

    }

});

You also can edit an existing contact by providing a new name for it.
You also can upload more contacts, not just all in one request - they will be added to your address book on the backend. If you want to override the whole address book on the backend - just provide boolean force = true
You also can remove a contact by setting contact.setIsDestroy(true);
A device UDID is used in cases where user has 2 or more devices and contacts sync is off. Otherwise - user has a single global address book.

Retrieve Address Book

If you want you can retrieve your uploaded address book:

val UDID: String? = null

ConnectyCube.getAddressBook(UDID, successCallback = {result -> }, errorCallback = { error ->})

val UDID: String? = null

ConnectycubeUsers.getAddressBook(UDID)
.performAsync(object : EntityCallback<ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact>> {
override fun onSuccess(uploadedContacts: ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact>,
params: Bundle
) {

        }

        override fun onError(responseException: ResponseException) {

        }
    })

String UDID = null;

ConnectycubeUsers.getAddressBook(UDID).performAsync(new EntityCallback<ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact>>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(ArrayList<ConnectycubeAddressBookContact> uploadedContacts, Bundle params) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(ResponseException responseException) {

    }
});

Retrieve Registered Users

Using this request you can easily retrieve the ConnectyCube users - you phone Address Book contacts that already registered in your app, so you can start communicate with these users right away:

val UDID: String? = null
val isCompact = true

ConnectyCube.getRegisteredUsersFromAddressBook(isCompact, UDID, successCallback = {result -> }, errorCallback = { error ->})

val UDID: String? = null
val isCompact = true

ConnectycubeUsers.getRegisteredUsersFromAddressBook(UDID, isCompact)
    .performAsync(object : EntityCallback<ArrayList<ConnectycubeUser>> {
        override fun onSuccess(users: ArrayList<ConnectycubeUser>,
                               params: Bundle
        ) {

        }

        override fun onError(responseException: ResponseException) {

        }
    })

String UDID = null;
boolean isCompact = true;
ConnectycubeUsers.getRegisteredUsersFromAddressBook(UDID, isCompact).performAsync(new EntityCallback<ArrayList<ConnectycubeUser>>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(ArrayList<ConnectycubeUser> users, Bundle params) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(ResponseException responseException) {

    }

});

If isCompact = true - server will return only id and phone fields of User. Otherwise - all User’s fields will be returned.

Push notification on new contact joined

There is a way to get a push notification when some contact from your Address Book registered in an app.

You can enable this feature at ConnectyCube Dashboard, Users module, Settings tab:

Setup push notification on new contact joined

!> Important note: this works only with PRODUCTION environment push subscription.
