Hi frinds,

Thanks

With platformRequest() method you can open an URL or make a call. The method belongs to MIDlet class (see for documentation in the MIDP2.0 javadocs). It was introduced in MIDP 2.0 so if you have MIDP1.0 phone, you are out of luck.

Note, that if you have a Series 40 phone, you cannot run your midlet in the background, therefore you have to exit the midlet before browser is started or phone call is made.

ya I am using the same platformRequest for series 60 phones...but whenever I makes a call or opens an url from my application ...application quits n then the desiered action get done...What may be the problem?

What phone exactly are you using? There is a known issue on 6600 phone with some firmware versions. See http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.n..._9_en.pdf.html

Are you sure midlet is not still on the background? Keep the application key pressed down for a little longer to see a list of running applications?

What should your midlet do after platformRequest? Are you sure the midlet is not naturally exiting?

Actually I m using platForm() request at two places for making calls at place it is keeping open app at background but at another place it is not...same with url...
I have done same for second case of call as that of first.
I am looking for all series 60 phones as generalize app.

Thanx
