Hi. I am new at Native programming, and am trying to set up a ContactPicker.
The control works well enough, but I am trying to add a filter to only get contacts that have an email address, and it does not seem to work:

ContactPicker {
id: emailPicker
kindFilters: KindFilters.Email <-- Does not work!
onContactSelected: {
emailResult.text = "You chose contact: " + contactId;
}
}

Can this property be set in QML? If so, what is the syntax?

(Moderator: Can you please move this to the appropriate Category?)

Thanks.

No, because if you look at the docs for ContactPicker (properties index) you'll notice that it is not listed as a property at all. You'd have to call the

setKindFilters(const QSet< bb::pim::contacts::AttributeKind::Type > &kindFilters)

method, but that would be rather difficult from QML.

The first two options that spring to mind for me are:

• Subclass ContactPicker as EmailContactPicker and preset the kind, or subclass and add your own properties.
• Construct an instance of ContactPicker with preset kind and pass it in to the QML as a context variable.

The first can be made as flexible and complicated as you like. The second is messy and maybe more trouble than it's worth.
