[Rupa]

Hi,
I have developed one Java application, which I have developed using S-60 simulator and have tested on E-71.
It also works on Symbian^3. But It does not works on Nokia-C7?

After installation when we start the application : alert comes as : "Application failed to start."
And in details : Java.lang.NullPointerException is shown.


Why?
Plz help...

Hi Rupaa,

Please check the filename of resource files you might be trying to load in your app at the startup, they are case sensitive on device but not on simulator.
Try to put a try/catch block around sensitive code-lets and find the issue - what goes null on device.... if you still fail to fix.
Give more details of your app or paste the code-lets that are giving null pointer on device - try putting some loggers in your code.

Thanks Amitabh,

I have put try catch block every where but still it gives such error as soon as I click on "open" button after installation complete.

But today I am able to track where the actual problem lies.

In my application I have created folder to put application log file on memory card. And this was causing problem.

When I commented this code worked successfully. But I need logs for my application.

So then I tried to create a log folder inside "PhoneMemory / images". It worked.

But now I do have new issue again.

My application gets access to media folders on PhoneMemory and MemoryCard and transfers this files to the server.
And now my application is failing to transfer the files from Memory Card.
Its able to access and transfer the files from "PhoneMemory" to the Server.

Means it proves that memory card is not accessible on C7. Why?


Following are the lines that was causing problem :-
fullPath = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard")+ "myLogDirectoryName";

I changed this to following then it worked:-
fullPath = System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.photos")+ "myLogDirectoryName";

And to access the memory card files, I am using the same : System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard").

Plz help me to resolve this.

Please check the full path that you are trying to use to access the memory card on C7, try out some filemanager or browser to cross check the path.
Or try PDAPDemo app of WTK on this device and see if you can access the file system on this device on the memory card.

Ok. Thanks

Hi Amit,

There are three drives on Nokia C-7.
C : Phone Memory
E : Mass Memory
F : Memory Card

With the System.getProperty("fileconn.dir.memorycard") call I have got path as "file:///F:/" .
But how to access then mass memory?
Is there any API function?
