JSR - 75 API problem

[j2meDev]

Hi Everyone
I am working on JSR 75 API in an application. With JSR 75 I am not being able to view "unnamed" contacts (Unnamed contacts are those contacts which contain some mobile number or other field info except name field).

Please reply if any body knows the way to show "unnamed" contacts.

Thanks

Can you post your piece of code in which you are trying to retrieve the Contacts

[j2meDev]

Ya sure:
\\This is the code which i am using to view phone book contacts in myContactList. Please tell me is it feasible to view "unnamed" contacts through JSR 75.
//Code to retrieve the phone book contacts
String listNameToOpen = showContactList.getString(showContactList.getSelectedIndex());
PIMList list = PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST , PIM.READ_ONLY, listNameToOpen);
int i = 0;
myContactList = new List("Contact List", List.MULTIPLE);
for (Enumeration enumItems = list.items(); enumItems.hasMoreElements() {
PIMItem item = (PIMItem) enumItems.nextElement();
int codeName = Contact.FORMATTED_NAME; contactNameVector.addElement(item.getString(codeName, 0));
i++;
}
for(int j =0; j< contactNameVector.size(); j++){myContactList.append(contactNameVector.elementAt(j).toString(), null);
}

Hi,

I am not sure about this but I think the contact with no name may return an empty String when you call
item.getString(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME, 0).

You may try this:

ContactList list = (ContactList) pim.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, listNameToOpen);
Enumeration enumeration = list.items();

while (enumeration.hasMoreElements())
{
    Contact contact = (Contact) enumeration.nextElement();

    String contactName = "";

    if (list.isSupportedField(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME))
    {
        String formattedName = contact.getString(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME, 0);

        if (formattedName != null && !formattedName.equals(""))
        {
            contactName = formattedName;
        }
        else
        {
            contactName = "(Unnamed)";
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // in case list is not support field Contact.FORMATTED_NAME,
        // you may get contactName from field Contact.NAME 
        // or contactName = "(Unnamed)";
    }
    contactNameVector.addElement(contactName);
}
list.close();

Hello EveryOne!
I want to share my latest R&D for this "unnamed" issue.
That is if we retrieve the contacts with "Contact.TEL" format then it is showing the contact number of unnamed contacts also.
Actually when we are retrieving it through Contact.FORMATTED_NAME format then it does not show them on real devices but with same code its working fine on DefaultColorPhone emulator by showing the name field length "0" for unnamed contacts.

View code for same below....

String listNameToOpen----
-------
for (Enumeration enumItems = list.items(); enumItems.hasMoreElements() {
PIMItem item = (PIMItem) enumItems.nextElement();
int codeName = Contact.FORMATTED_NAME;
int codeTelName = Contact.TEL;
//User defined function to retrieve contacts as per name
getNameContact(item, codeName, codeTelName);
//myContactList.append(contactNameVector.elementAt(i).toString(), null);
int codeTel = Contact.TEL;
if(((sName.trim().length() == 0) || sName.trim().equals(null)) ){ contactNameVector.addElement("(unnamed)");
}else if((sName.length() > 0) || (!sName.trim().equals(null))){ contactNameVector.addElement(item.getString(codeName, 0));
}
}
i++;
}

So please reply if anybody worked on "unnamed" contacts for JSR75 and know what they get stored in real devices.

Thanks pom_cc for replying
I implemented the code which u have written in ur post but not being able to view "unnamed" contacts in the real device, also faced an exception which is "Invalid index:0".
Please also view my last post in which i mentiond the latest R&D results at my side. The main problem is to know the value which get stored in handsets in respect of "unnamed" as its not null, "" and not having length 0 and not even greater than 0. So please reply if any body have any idea related to it.
Cheers!!

Hi j2meDev,

I worked on the "unnamed" contacts a long before . But now I don't remember.

I remember that, In WTK my application was working all right for unnamed contacts. But In Nokia S60 emulator and in 6630 device I faced the same problem as yours.

I think, instead of Contact.FORMATTED_NAME if you try Contact.Name it may work on real devices. But I am not sure. All the best.

Hi Sunil_talent
I m working with ur idea i.e to use Contact.NAME to show contacts. Still not being able to show unnamed contacts so its still under R&D process will post when will find out the final solution for this problem.
If any one had faced the same issue then please reply. Unity can break a bigger stone.
Thanks in advance
