You could put whatever code you want to be called in another method,
then call it from the block. If it's already authorized, just call it.
private bool GetAddressBook ()
{
if (UIDevice.CurrentDevice.CheckSystemVersion (6, 0)) {
NSError err;
iPhoneAddressBook = ABAddressBook.Create (out err);
var authStatus = ABAddressBook.GetAuthorizationStatus();
if (authStatus != ABAuthorizationStatus.Authorized) {
iPhoneAddressBook.RequestAccess(delegate(bool granted,
NSError error) {
if (granted) {//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE}
});
} else {
//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE
}
return err == null;
} else {
iPhoneAddressBook = new ABAddressBook ();
//CALL YOUR METHOD HERE
return true;
}
}
However, if you are using an async function, but working in a sync
manner, than you may need to refactor either the above bit, or your
calling code.
