Question

In the following encoding, I want to pass the variable through CFSTR, how can I?

ABMutableMultiValueRef address = ABMultiValueCreateMutable(kABDictionaryPropertyType); // Set up keys and values for the dictionary. CFStringRef keys[5]; CFStringRef values[5]; keys[0] = kABPersonAddressStreetKey; keys[1] = kABPersonAddressCityKey; keys[2] = kABPersonAddressStateKey; keys[3] = kABPersonAddressZIPKey; keys[4] = kABPersonAddressCountryKey; values[0] = CFSTR("Wiztech, 208/B Clifton Center, Karachi"); //values[0] = CFSTR(address1); I want to pass address1 which is NSString, how can I? values[1] = CFSTR(""); values[2] = CFSTR(""); values[3] = CFSTR(""); values[4] = CFSTR("");

Just enter it as:

 NSString * yourThing = [NSString stringWithString:@"blah blah"] values[0] = (CFStringRef)yourThing; 

NSString and CFString are interchangeable (castable). Remember to save / release too
