SImple log app : is it possible?

[ngrizzly]

I want to make an application for logging duration of calls but on a monthly basis.

Basicly, I need for OS to notify my app after a received call ending with information about phone number and call duration or just notify so that my app can find information.

It was ment for app to be started on every reboot, but I saw here that that is impossible.

If MIDlet can't be notified it can use last inforamtion from phone log both last received call and last call duration. How to access this information?

Thanks,

Nemanja

Hello ngrizzly

First of all, bear in mind that using java you don't have access to any information about incoming calls, that makes not possible to have either the number (msisdn) or the elapsed time.

There's one thing you can do...

If you have a MIDlet running and an incoming call comes, then the AMS (Application Management Software) will automatically call the pauseAppMethod()....

when the phone call is over, then the AMS will call the starApp() method...

I think you can use the time offset between the pauseApp() call and the startApp() to get the elapsed time of the call...
but no way to know the phone number

So try that...

Thank you for replying.

Probably number of things can make AMS to pause my MIDlet, and also application is meaningless wiothout phone number. To be more precise I just need to no if call is domestic or from foreingh network.

I'm wondering now how much time do I need to learn basics of c++ to do this simple program.

Hi NGrizzly,

On S60 3rd edition FP2 you have System properties, accessible from a J2me application, that could be useful for your needs:

Specifically, you can access:
* IMSI via "com.nokia.mid.imsi" System property
* network ID via "com.nokia.mid.networkid" System property

Apart from this, there are other features (like accessing the call log) that are not realizable with a J2ME application, so you should consider switching to other technologies (like Symbian C++).

I will have to switch to Symbian C++. There is no way to do this simple app in java obviosly.

Just to correct a couple of incorrect statements in the reply above.

When a call comes in, the AMS might or might not call pauseApp() - the MIDP spec does NOT require this method to be called in this situation. Also if the system uses that approach, pauseApp might be called for other reasons as well...

On Nokia phones in general (S60 3rd Edition FP2 devices will have a JAD attribute for this though), pauseApp is not called. Instead in Canvas-based applications hideNotify is called. However that method could be called also for other reasons (like the user moving the MIDlet to the background).

ngrizzly, check also Python on S60. That could have the required methods available and creating a Python app is way simpler than coding a Symbian C++ app
