RMS - opening multiple RecordStores

[streamfieldgate]

Hi,

I'm developing a J2ME app and initially assumed I'd be able to open multiple RMS RecordStores simultaneously (so that I can read from and write to different stores). However I see that openRecordStore returns a static.

Am I correct in thinking this means a Midlet can have only 1 recordstore open at any time ? If so, has anyone worked out a simple way around this ?

Thanks

Hi There,

Being openRecordStore() API as static does not mean that you can open only one record store at a time. The static reveals the fact that to call openRecordStore() method you do not require any instance(object) of RecordStroe class.

So, a midlet can have multiple record stores and you can open them simultaneously as well as work with them.

Hope this will clear your doubts.

Hi John Young,
As amitmishra19 has explained that you can write the data simultaneously.Hence you can read more about RMS here.

In hope this might help you.

hi John,

Yes you can work on multiple Record stores simultaneously as Raj and Amit also said. I have worked on it successfully for both Nokia Series 40 and 60 devices and also.

Hi HGupta6,

try specifying a bit more what do you mean by "not working" (e.g.: are you getting an Exception? Does your application hang? etc..)

hi streamfieldgate,
why you think you are always wrong? The problem may be in S60 emulator.
I have noticed the following about WTK and S60 emulator:
WTK keeps Records even if you close it.
S60 discard them as long as you exit application.

Keep it in mind. and please provide more "hints" :P
