Filtering out email addresses from ABPeoplePickerNavigationController

Question

I'm using ABPeoplePicker to show a list of contacts.

I'd like to filter this list of contacts to only show the contacts that have email addresses. How would I do so?

Answer 2

here is the good blog tutorial for extracting address book values,

http://blog.slaunchaman.com/2009/01/21/cocoa-touch-tutorial-extract-address-book-address-values-on-iphone-os/

try with below:

ABPeoplePickerNavigationController *peoplePicker = [[ABPeoplePickerNavigationController alloc] init];
    [peoplePicker setPeoplePickerDelegate:self];
    [peoplePicker setDisplayedProperties:[NSArray arrayWithObject:[NSNumber numberWithInt:kABPersonEmailProperty]]];
