  Hi guys I'm working on storing the contact list in NSMutableArray and displaying it in NSLog at this point of time.
  
  However I have used this code to do that
  

  
  - (void)viewDidLoad {
  // Implement viewDidLoad if you need to do additional setup after loading the view.
  	[super viewDidLoad];
      
         ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate(); // create address book reference object
      NSArray *abContactArray = (NSArray *)ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook); // get address book contact array
      
      NSInteger totalContacts =[abContactArray count];
      
      for(NSUInteger loop= 0 ; loop < totalContacts; loop++)
      {
          ABRecordRef record = (ABRecordRef)[abContactArray objectAtIndex:loop]; // get address book record
       //    NSLog(@\"%@,%@,%@\",recordIdString,firstNameString,lastNameString);
         
          [myarray addObject:firstNameString];
          NSLog(@\"%@\",[myarray objectAtIndex:1]);
          
          if(ABRecordGetRecordType(record) ==  kABPersonType) // this check execute if it is person group
          {
              ABRecordID recordId = ABRecordGetRecordID(record); // get record id from address book record
              
               recordIdString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@\"%d\",recordId]; // get record id string from record id
              
               firstNameString = (NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(record,kABPersonFirstNameProperty); // fetch contact first name from address book  
               lastNameString = (NSString*)ABRecordCopyValue(record,kABPersonLastNameProperty); // fetch contact last name from address book
             // NSLog(@\"%@,%@,%@\",recordIdString,firstNameString,lastNameString);
              
          }
      }
      
  }
  
  

  
  
  I have declared that myarray as a reference object for NSMutableArray in .h file.
  
  However I'm unable to store the values in it. Can anybody help me out to fix it.

  Make sure to initialize your array before adding objects to it.
  Put these lines under your super viewDidLoad call:
  

  NSMutableArray *arr = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
  self.myarray = arr;
  [arr release];

  If you really want something in this life you have to work for it. Now quiet, they're about to announce the lottery numbers.
