Yes, all this is possible on using JSR -75 PIM api's on Nokia S40 devices.

refer to FN wiki -
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...ook_in_Java_ME
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...act_in_Java_ME
http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.ph...cts_in_Java_ME

or refer to PDAPDemo PIM example of WKT

using String[] lists = pim.listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST);

PIM pim = PIM.getInstance();
String[] lists = pim.listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST); // you get the list 0 and 1, where 0 is sim list and 1 is phone book list
for (int i = 0; i < lists.length; i++) // get both phone book memorry and SIM card
				{
					PIMList list = null;
					try
					{
						list = pim.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, lists[i]);
					}
					catch (PIMException e)
					{
					}
// do what you want with the PIM list of both  add,edit,delete and then close the list.
}

On which device you are testing it ?

just try this:
PIM pim = PIM.getInstance();
String[] lists = pim.listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST); // you get the list 0 and 1, where 0 is sim list and 1 is phone book list
And print the no. of lists you get in this Response.....

Using this you can access SIM contact book on S40, I have tested this on Nokia 6500 slider.

You say "Its reading the SIM numbers" but you cant retrieve the values from SIM.... what do you mean by this... if you are able read the contact Objects from SIM card... you are not able to get the phone numbers or name. Are you trying Contact.FormatedName or only Contact.Name or Contact.Tel?

[bhakki]

Normally im using Contact.NAME_GIVEN and Contact.NAME_FAMILY for getting the names.
But i didnt using Contact.FormatedName.

And I cant get some telephone numbers from phone contact.
I used the all priorities like Contact.ATTR_HOME...
But I cant get some telephone numbers only.

Reading both the list - SIM & Phone try fetch - Contact.TEL
and search within like:

// Numbers
	int n = contact.countValues(Contact.TEL); 
	if(n>0)
	{
		for (int k = 0; k < n; k++)
		{
		int attrs = contact.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, k);
		try
		{
			String tel = contact.getString(Contact.TEL, k);
			System.out.println("Tel :" +tel);
		}
		catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException ex)
		{
		}
	        }
	}

Cut & Paste your Contact reading code here.

Before trying to access any element check for its support using -
if (list.isSupportedField(Contact.TEL));

try this

// Name
		String name = null;
                 try {
		if (list.isSupportedField(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME) && contact.countValues(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME) > 0)
        							{
                                      name = contact.getString(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME, 0);
                                    }
								}catch(Exception e){}
                                if(name==null)
                                {
                                try {
                                if(list.isSupportedField(Contact.NAME) && contact.countValues(Contact.NAME) > 0)	                                    
                                    {
                                    name="";
                                    String[] newname = contact.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
                                    if(newname[0]!=null) name=newname[0];
                                    if(newname[1]!=null && newname[0]!=null ) name=name+" "+newname[1];                                    
                                    if(newname[1]!=null && newname[0]==null ) name=newname[1];                                    
                                    if(newname[0]==null && newname[1]==null) name="-";
                                    }
                                }catch(Exception e){}
								}

Ya. i checked like this only. but i got the same exception.

Here i post my code.

for (int index = 0; index < lists.length; index++)
{
PIMList clist = null;
Enumeration contacts = null;
try {
clist = pim.openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, lists[index]);
contacts = clist.items();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}


while (contacts.hasMoreElements()) {

Contact c = (Contact) contacts.nextElement();
String fName = "";
String lName = "";
String nickName = "";
String email = "";
String dob = "";
String notes = "";
String url = "";
String job = "";
String org = "";
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.NAME)) {
String[] nameValues = c.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
if (nameValues != null) {
if (nameValues[0] != null && !nameValues[0].equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
fName = nameValues[0];
}
if (nameValues[1] != null && !nameValues[1].equalsIgnoreCase("")) {
lName = nameValues[1];
}
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.NICKNAME)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.NICKNAME, 0) != null) {
nickName = c.getString(Contact.NICKNAME, 0);
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.EMAIL)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.EMAIL, 0) != null) {
email = c.getString(Contact.EMAIL, 0);
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.BIRTHDAY)) {
String date = dateToString(c.getDate(Contact.BIRTHDAY, 0));
if (date != null) {
dob = date;
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.NOTE)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.NOTE, 0) != null) {
notes = c.getString(Contact.NOTE, 0);
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.TITLE)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.TITLE, 0) != null) {
job = c.getString(Contact.TITLE, 0);
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.URL)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.URL, 0) != null) {
url = c.getString(Contact.URL, 0);
}
}
if (clist.isSupportedField(Contact.ORG)) {
if (c.getString(Contact.ORG, 0) != null) {

Problem lines hi lighted:
replace by

// Name
		String name = null;
                 try {
			if (list.isSupportedField(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME) && contact.countValues(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME) > 0)
				{
                                      name = contact.getString(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME, 0);
                                    }

                                if(name==null)
                                {
                                try {
                                if(list.isSupportedField(Contact.NAME) && contact.countValues(Contact.NAME) > 0)

                                    String[] newname = contact.getStringArray(Contact.NAME, 0);
                                    if(newname[0]!=null) name=newname[0];
                                    if(newname[1]!=null && newname[0]!=null ) name=name+" "+newname[1];

                                    }
                                }catch(Exception e){}
								}

Put some alerts for testing after each field and you will get where it stuck's.

Thanks Ekta....

Most of the problem was solved but i have 1 more problem.
I cant retrieve the some telephone number from phone contacts.
I was created the contact as general format.
I used all attributes for retrieve the telephone numbers.
Like,

int phoneNumbers = c.countValues(Contact.TEL);

if (value == Contact.TEL && phoneNumbers > 0) {


for (int i = 0; i < phoneNumbers; i++) {
if (c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_HOME) {
String homeNo = c.getString(Contact.TEL, i);

} else if (c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_FAX) {

String faxNo = c.getString(Contact.TEL, i);

} else if (c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_WORK) {

String workNo = c.getString(Contact.TEL, i);

} else if (c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_MOBILE) {

String mobileNo = c.getString(Contact.TEL, i);

} else if (c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_NONE || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_OTHER || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_AUTO || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_PREFERRED || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_ASST || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_PAGER || c.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i) == Contact.ATTR_SMS) {

String otherNo = c.getString(Contact.TEL, i);

}


Is this correct?
Some telephone numbers not comes into the any conditions.

Regards,
Bharath...

[ektasrv]

Some telephone don't come because they might not be defined in this way -
try

// Numbers
        private static String[] attrDescList = 
	{
		ATTR_ASST, ATTR_AUTO, ATTR_FAX, ATTR_HOME, ATTR_MOBILE, ATTR_OTHER, ATTR_PAGER, ATTR_PREFERRED, ATTR_SMS, ATTR_WORK
	};
	int n = contact.countValues(Contact.TEL); 
	if(n>0)
	{
		for (int k = 0; k < n; k++)
		{
		int attrs = contact.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, k);
		try
		{
			String tel = contact.getString(Contact.TEL, k);
			System.out.println("attrs: "+attrDescList [attrs]+ "       " +Tel :" +tel);
		}
		catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException ex)
		{
		}
	        }
	}

Hi,

I think this is problem with s40 series mobiles.
Because this problem only occured when i retrieving the contact as general format.
I dont know How to resolve this issue????

I got the contact.countValues(Contact.TEL) is 0 when i retrieving the general contacts in s40 mobiles.
So i cant get the telephone number.

Is there any way to get the general contact number from phone contacts in s40 series mobiles?
