contact objects option.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CB-58
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-58
Project: Apache Callback
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: iOS
Reporter: Shazron Abdullah

I am trying to use the contacts.find api to fill in an autocomplete box. It is
too slow to be useful in this context.
Please provide a way to limit the number of contact objects returned from the
contacts.find api.
Possibly add a new option to contactFindOptions, something like "maxContacts".
For example:
maxContacts: Determines how many contact objects the find operation should
return. (Integer) (Default: 1000)
Here is a code snippet of what I am trying to do:
$(’#contacts input:last’).autocomplete({source: function
(request, response) {
options = new ContactFindOptions();
options.filter = request.term;
options.multiple = true;
fields = ["displayName", "phoneNumbers", "emails"];
navigator.service.contacts.find(fields,
function (contacts) {
var responseList = [];
console.log(’contacts found for ’ + request.term +
’: ’ + contacts.length);
$.each(contacts, function (index, contact) {
//console.log(contact);
// limit to 10 autocomplete contacts
// note: the contacts.find api takes a long time to return when
there are
// many contacts that match the options.filter
if (index > 10) {
return false; // break
}
