SP2010 PeoplePicker(PeopleEditor) for Mobile Device

Question

I want to use a PeoplePicker or a PeopleEditor on Mobile Devices(via browser, under SharePoint Mobile View) just like on a desktop browser.

Firstly, I tried to add the PeopleEditor control in code behind through C# code, in the .aspx file. The aspx file references sp.js, sp.runtime.js, sp.core.js, MicrosoftAjax.js that are also imported, but I still get a lot of JS error.

Secondly, I tried to customize my own PeoplePicker via Client Object Model, but I am still stuck on the same JS error.

Please tell me how to approach the goal any suggestion will be appreciated.

I reference the JS file by js code dynamically as below:

function loadScript(src, script, callback) {

    script = document.createElement('script');
    script.onerror = function () {
        // handling error when loading script
        alert('Error to handle:' + src);
    }
    script.onload = function () {
        console.log(src + ' loaded ')
        callback();
    }
    script.type = "text/javascript";
    script.src = src;
    document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script);
}

And in the .cs file, I wrote my own control which inherit from System.Web.UI.MobileControls.MobileControl, and then in the CreateChildControls() function, I add the PeopleEditor dynamically:

protected override void CreateChildControls()
    {
        PeopleEditor peoplePick = new PeopleEditor();
        peoplePick.AllowEmpty = false;
        peoplePick.AllowTypeIn = true;
        peoplePick.ErrorMessage = "No Names Found";
        this.Controls.Add(peoplePick);
        base.CreateChildControls();
    }

Finally, I registered this control in .aspx file and added an instance:

<MyCustomeMobile:CustomeControl RunAt="Server" />

Then,I got those JS error:

1. Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'createRange' of undefined [from entityeditor:2]
2. Uncaught RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded Uncaught ReferenceError:
3. Uncaught ReferenceError: WebForm_DoCallback is not defined

Maybe there is another way to resolve this problem,what just i want is user can search people/group by typing userId in a textbox and then show user's name(just like on laptop browser).

You have to create some custom control or Custom code for that.

I will suggest you can use CSOM for get users. Below is the example might be use full to you
