Adding Contacts to phone via JS

Question

I have a web application that needs to add a phone number to the device's contact list. I need a way to display the android or IOS system UI prompt for adding a telephone number to the device.

Answer 1

here's an intent you can launch via html / js on the Android browser:

intent://vnd.android.cursor.dir/raw_contact/#Intent;
    action=android.intent.action.INSERT;
    [email protected];
    S.phone=+1-212-555-1234
end;

you can launch the intent using href as a regular URL via:

<a href="intent://vnd.android.cursor.dir/raw_contact/#Intent;action=android.intent.action.INSERT;[email protected];S.phone=+1-212-555-1234end;">CLICK ME</a>
