Decompress then save again as contact to phone book, it is possible?

[bytescode]

Hi,

I'm develop an application (based on example of WTK22-PDAPDemo). In this application, user can access phone book (read write) in memory device, then can select contact/s (1,5, and all), compress selected contact, and send them to destination number (server).
in server (in this case, I make simulator only using an application J2mE too, that can receive sms from client (that contain compressed contact in it), decompress it, and then show the originil file (contact) again.

But, this application can't save that contact to phonebook again (because I didn't know how to do this in emulator and also real device/HP).

It is possible to save again contact (result fo decompressed) to phonebook again?
or we must use another way, maybe RMS?

Need your help please...

Thanks.

Yes, you can save the Contact to phone book again.

Steps:
1) Open the Contact Book - PIM LIST in read write mode,
2) Craete a Contact object -- by filling all decompressed data
3) Commit the Conatct back to Contact LIST.

Hi,

I've try that source, but why when after I addedd contact (fill each field of contact), it can't save into contact list in emulator?

It show message error like this :
Warning: To avoid potential deadlock, operations that may block, such as
networking, should be performed in a different thread than the
commandAction() handler.

FYI :
Here my midlet-permission (because of confuse, so that I added most all of them) :

javax.microedition.io.Connector.file.write
javax.wireless.messaging.mms.receive

To avoid potential deadlock, operations that may block, such as
networking, should be performed in a different thread than the
commandAction() handler.

Move your JSR 75, PIM realted operation to a seperate thread pass the contact data to be stored in PIM to this thread and start it, dont call it directly from your commandAction() handler as its blocking operation.

for interacting with PIM Contacts you only need: the following permissions.
javax.microedition.pim.ContactList.read
javax.microedition.pim.ContactList.write

Hi,

Thanks for info. I've change about midlet-permission as you suggest.
About JRE75, you mean remove it=uncheck it from Setting menu?
Because I do that and it show 28 errors message.

Also, I didn't understand exactly about this :

dont call it directly from your commandAction() handler as its blocking operation.

According that, how to do that?

Need your help again plz..

Move your JSR 75, PIM realted operation to a seperate thread pass the contact data to be stored in PIM to this thread and start it, dont call it directly from your commandAction() handler as its blocking operation.

Move does't means REMOVE it from settings - add it back.

Move to seperate thread means -- Create a seperate Thread class and move this PIM code block in its run() method and call it from this class - commandHander()
