881693 - mozContacts.getAll is undefined on geekphone phone, but ok on simulator

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Contacts, defect)

Description

[ludovic.fardel]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.8; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130608 Firefox/24.0 (Nightly/Aurora)
Build ID: 20130608031212

Steps to reproduce:

In a hosted privileged app with contacts (readonly) permission, I want to get all contacts with:
  if ( navigator.mozContacts && navigator.mozContacts.getAll ) {
    navigator.mozContacts.getAll();
    ... 
  }

The problematic example app is there: https://github.com/lazybean/MemoPhone


Actual results:

On the simulator, the page to ask permission appears. On the geekphones I tried, nothing. 
navigator.mozContacts.getAll is actually undefined.


Expected results:

I should see the page asking for permission.

Hi,

that .getAll method was added to the contacts API, but probably is not added to the version running in your geeksphone.

I would suggest to update your rom to a nightly build if you still want to use that api, if not, you still can fallback to use the non cursor api.

Cheers,
F.

Hi,

Thanks for advice.
I'll try when I will again get access to a phone.

Closing as this was tested with a version prior 1.1
