How can i filter contacts on basis of app installation

[swatik]

@angelvini210, Please note Nokia Asha devices are based on Series 40 platform and E5 is a Symbian device - Which is your target platform ? If its Symbian, you need to download Symbian SDK which supports Java.

i have selected my target device E5 because GPS is working perfectly in it.... al my modules are working perfect except the ContactList!!!
now wat will i have to do Sir ? will have to change my target device for a single module?

nd previously i had tested it on Nokia E52 which is a S60 3rd edition. it was working but now it is not :-(

[balagopalks]

No, What I meant was, its always advisable to try in same platform emulator as with your target device, and hence if your target device is E5, please try the app in S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 Emulator.

Please try to understand that Devices in RDA are not emulators but they are real devcies sitting in Nokia offices and you are getting the screen preview remotely.

I didnt mean that you need to re -code in Symbian C++. If I remember correctly there were some very small differences in Contacts /PIM implementation between Series 40 and Symbian devices with Java API's and hence requested you to get your app checked in Symbian emulator which supports Java and debug it so that it works fine in Symbian devices also.

Hope this clarifies ?

Check if you are building the App properly and all the changes you make are reflecting in the app you are installing in the real device.

Also can you explain the contacts issue you have now ? Would you have enough contacts to check in the emulator ?

yes it is because we are try it on e5 and e6 emulator as well it is working perfect there and reflecting all the changes as we are doing it in our code.
What we are doing 1) is retrieving all the contacs from our phonebook and comparing with those contacts registered on server and then appending it on our List.
2) On the next list we are comparing the privacy of the selected contact... and if it is private we are not appending on the next list else vice versa...

But we are nnot able to figure what is going wrong.. because as u suggested we are testing our app first on Symbian java emulator i.e e5 and our target device is e5 as well. If it is working correctly on e5 emulator then yy not on actual deive!!!
Sir please help...

Thanks

Really need some debugging here : Try with a fewer contacts and see where exactly your app logic is failing - Try to print in the device screen or write in Log the contacts comparison results, so that you can track down the issue easily.

Now it is working !!!
