Retrieve Phonebook

Last updated
The Retrieve Phonebook Node returns a device's phonebook, speed dial, and favorites. These are presented in Dictionary form with the keys Contacts, Speed Dial Contacts, and Favorite Contacts. This requires that that the Bluetooth device has been paired and that the user has contact sharing (or something similar) enabled for pairing.
The Node only schedules the phonebook retrieval process and then returns immediately. This means that it is possible to trigger the Node multiple times with different inputs, resulting in consecutive retrieval attempts. This is the reason for returning the Bluetooth address, as it properly attributes the result to the relevant device.
Bluetooth Communication in Incari is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the Plugins Editor, it will not appear in the Project Settings and Retrieve Phonebook will not show up in the Toolbox. Please refer to the Plugins Editor to find out more information.
