If you want to customize the address book according to your requirements, I suggest you should not use ABPeoplePickerNavigationController. Instead of that make the use of Address Book object, retrieve data from your address book and display those data in your custom ViewController.In this way you will be able to customize your View in whichever way you want.

Secondly you cannot modify the APIs and frameworks provided by Apple.

thanks.so what should i do ,whether i should customize it or not? but if customized it will take much time to include address book like functionality..... – Ali Jan 14 '11 at 05:10
@Ali to retrieve data from address book is not a big deal and once the data is fetched rest can be taken care of.. – Aditya Jan 14 '11 at 05:15
right data can be fetched easily but i need full addressbook like functionality and with additional phone label functionality .. – Ali Jan 14 '11 at 05:22
So you will have to implement the search bar at top,take a tableview controller to display names,take a custom cell to display names and numbers – Aditya Jan 14 '11 at 05:25
