So how to use this function as it's second parametere is of AddContact class. So m not getting it how to pass values of users in it?
Thank for the help in advance!!
While our SDK doesn't have a service directly for adding bulk contacts, this can be done. Please take a look at the following code to see how to create an array of contacts, assign them column names, and use the addCreateContactsActivity.
