Service API</h1><div>
<p>The <a href="GUID-662F2E2E-9538-42E5-9B5A-5664F1C11A9E.html#GUID-662F2E2E-9538-42E5-9B5A-5664F1C11A9E">Contacts
Service</a> API is supported since <a href="GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664.html#GUID-1A3ECAC1-3F09-4602-A1CD-82164040A664">WRT 1.1</a>.</p>
<p>The Contacts Service API allows <span>widgets</span> to access and manage
information about contacts. This information can reside in one or more contacts
databases stored on a device or in the SIM card database. The API is integrated
into <span>WRT</span> through the <a href="GUID-571AF37F-1E95-462A-92D2-FEA2E62F1559.html#GUID-571AF37F-1E95-462A-92D2-FEA2E62F1559"><code>device</code></a> object.</p>
<p>For an overview of the service and the API, see section <a href="GUID-662F2E2E-9538-42E5-9B5A-5664F1C11A9E.html#GUID-662F2E2E-9538-42E5-9B5A-5664F1C11A9E">Accessing and managing information about contacts</a>.</p>
<div><h3>Using the Contacts Service API</h3>
<p>To use the Contacts Service API, your <span>widget</span> must first create <span>a service object for it
using the <a href="GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080.html#GUID-04095E9A-50E7-4E5F-BD6F-71DA281A0080"><code>device.getServiceObject()</code></a> method</span>.
Use <code>Service.Contact</code> to identify the service provider
and <code>IDataSource</code> to identify the supported interface:</p>
<pre class="codeblock" id="GUID-7B1C567A-A31A-4AED-8F7B-9DFC175068AD">var so = device.getServiceObject("Service.Contact", "IDataSource");</pre>
<p>This service object can then be used to access the services provided
by the API:</p>
<ul>
<li><p><a href="GUID-37C9E5F0-BEA9-4E0B-A40D-B953B3551007.html#GUID-37C9E5F0-BEA9-4E0B-A40D-B953B3551007"><code>IDataSource.GetList()</code></a></p>

<div><h3>Emulator support</h3>
<p>The S60 5th Edition SDK emulator provides full support for the Contacts
Service API. However, SIM-specific operations can only be run on a device.</p>
