Overview
The example uses the Contact Platform Service, introduced in S60 5th Edition.
To obtain access to the service object for the Contact Service API, the device.getServiceObject("Service.Contact", "IDataSource") method is used.
After setting the correct values for the criteria object (criteria.Type and criteria.Data), the IDataSource.Add(criteria) method is used to add the new contact.
