==Overview==

The following code snippet demonstrates how to use the Contact Service API in a Flash Lite 3.0 application to delete the first contact of the default phonebook (supported from S60 5th Edition onwards).

==Source==

<code actionscript>
// Import Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;
</code>
<code actionscript>
// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "Delete Contact (first of the list)";

// Create a new Service object which has Contact data
var contact = new Service("Service.Contact", "IDataSource");

// Define the input parameters for the contact list
var inParams = {Type:"Contact"};

// Define the result value of the list
var outParams = contact.GetList(inParams);
if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
    var outList = outParams.ReturnValue;
	var outputEntry = null;
	var idList:Array = new Array();
	var nameList:Array = new Array();
    do {
        outputEntry = outList.next();
        if (null != outputEntry) {
			// Get the lists of IDs and firstname to Arrays
            idList.push(outputEntry.id);
			nameList.push(outputEntry.FirstName["Value"]);
        } else {
            break;
        }
    } while (true);
} else {
	// if errors trace them to the textfield
    var errorId = outParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "Error while listing: "+errorId+"\r";
}

// Define a list of the IDs which will be deleted
// NOTE! Running this aplication will delete the first contact on your contact
// list
var idDeleteList = [idList[0]];
var contactId = {IdList:idDeleteList};
text_txt.text += "Delete contact, "+nameList[0]+"\r";

// Define input parameters for the deletion
var inDeleteParams = {Type:"Contact", Data:contactId};

// Define result data of the deletion
var outDeleteParams = contact.Delete(inDeleteParams);
if (outDeleteParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
	text_txt.text += "Deletion success"+"\r";
} else {
	var errorId2 = outParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "Error while deleting: "+errorId2;
}
</code>

'''Note''': Running this application will delete the first contact on your contact list.

==Postconditions== 

The first contact information is deleted from the default phonebook of the device.

Note! In this code snippet the first entry is automatically deleted without user intervention once the application is started.

==Example application== 

The following sample application has been tested in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (S60 5th edition, Flash Lite 3.0).<br />
