Can I Access Native Contact list from J2ME Application

[hasbee_royal]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to both J2ME and nokia forum. Im currently workin on SMS Application for my final year project, which can encrypt and decrypt msgs. also it should be able to filter spam messages.
I want to know whether it is possible to access the native contact list box from my J2ME application.
bcz i have to allow the user to select the recepient from his/her "native contact list box" and send message using my application.

Use PIM optional package. But first make sure that the devices in which you want to use In it this package is available or not ?

Use the following code to check :

String currentVersion = System.getProperty("microedition.pim.version " )

if in device it is not supported then it will return null

Hi @all,

i try to sign the contactlist access, but without certification i had to confirm two times till the startscreen of the midlet with contactlist appears. With certification i dont have to confirm, but i dont get the contactlist. Maybe there are problems with permissions?

I have follow this suggestion:
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index....6624&#page_top

but without success.


This ist the Code:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Enumeration;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable;
import javax.microedition.lcdui.List;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;
import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDletStateChangeException;
import javax.microedition.pim.Contact;
import javax.microedition.pim.ContactList;
import javax.microedition.pim.PIM;

import com.sun.lwuit.plaf.UIManager;
import com.sun.lwuit.util.Resources;




public class PIMMIDlet extends MIDlet implements CommandListener {

private ContactList contList = null;

private Enumeration contacts = null;

private List mNameList;

private Command mExitCommand = new Command("Exit", Command.EXIT,0);


public PIMMIDlet() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

try{
PIM pimInst = PIM.getInstance();
contList = (ContactList) pimInst.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY);
contacts = contList.items();
}catch(Exception ex){
return;
}

Resources theme;
try {
theme = Resources.open("res/LWUITtheme.res");
UIManager.getInstance().setThemeProps(theme.getTheme(theme.getThemeResourceNames()[0]));
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}



if(contacts == null)
return;

mNameList = new List("List of contacts", List.EXCLUSIVE);

while(contacts.hasMoreElements()){
Contact tCont = (Contact) contacts.nextElement();
String[] nameValues = tCont.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
String firstName = nameValues[Contact.NAME_GIVEN];
String lastName = nameValues[Contact.NAME_FAMILY];
String telName = tCont.getString(Contact.TEL, 0);



mNameList.append(lastName+"," , null);
mNameList.append(firstName+ "," , null);
mNameList.append(telName+ "," , null);

String currentVersion = System.getProperty("microedition.pim.version " );
mNameList.append(currentVersion+ "," , null);

}
mNameList.addCommand(mExitCommand);
mNameList.setCommandListener(this);


}

protected void destroyApp(boolean arg0) throws MIDletStateChangeException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

protected void pauseApp() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

}

protected void startApp() throws MIDletStateChangeException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mNameList);

}

public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub

if( c == mExitCommand){
try {
destroyApp(true);
} catch (MIDletStateChangeException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
notifyDestroyed();
}

}

}


Thx to all

By putting a "return" in a "catch" is a bad plan... you're hiding the problem. Find out what exceptions are getting caught, it might give you some clues as to the problem.

Are you adding MIDlet-Permissions to your JAD?

thanks for the reply Graham,

i have replace the return, there was not output.

This is the problem, i can't find the pim permission in the signing -dialog of eclipse. I thought with the advice in
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index....6624&#page_top
i could solve the problem.

[grahamhughes]

The permission setting should be "javax.microedition.pim.ContactList.read".
