VCard over Bluetooth/MIDP (JSR 82)

[Alvinxx]

Hi,

I am trying to send an vCard to another phone using the Bluetooth APIs - is this possible?

The problem is, the remote phone needs to not receive the vCard using Push or any other MIDP app. I want it to receive the vCard (or SMS for that matter) as a normal TextMessage outside of any MIDP app.

Obviously if both phones were running MIDP client/server, I could probably do this easily - but we need to be sending SMS from within the app locally.

Connect to the remote OBEX Push server and send your file. If the device–which runs the MIDlet–includes no OBEX support, you have to connect to the remote OBEX Push server via RFCOMM and built/send OBEX frames yourself before you can send the file.

SMS, vNote, vCard or text/plain? Well it seems you have not made up your mind on this yet. You can't send SMS via Bluetooth but you can send vNotes or text/plain messages.

Hi,

Yeah this is the idea I am now working on - I am going to assume that Obex support is not present on the MIDP device and use RFCOMM.

Can I assume that I "just" need to work out the UUID for the OBEX Push Server and then connect to that service?

I want to send a vCard - is that possible? A vNotes is like an SMS anyway isn't it - if it appears in the inbox then that is god enough - the remote user will be able to read the message/note and act on it - or use its payload - presumably?

Anyone able to elucidate further?

What is the question? You answered all yourself. Go for it and play.
