[ashisht4u]

Hi guys,
I want to implement address book's Contact search functionality in which the LIST displays all contacts in sorted order and if u click and key like 'L' all the contacts starts with 'L' will display on the screen.
How to implement this thing?

hi,
There is a sutom class for this purpose called CAknSearchField that can be used for implementing what u need. it will help u in integrating the model and the controller. so any change that u make in the text box of the search editor will do the changes automatically. then once u make us of this class and integrate them u can call handlefindofferkeyeventL() in ur offerkeyeventL .
To integrate them u need to use API's like
void CAknFilteredTextListBoxModel::CreateFilterL ( CEikListBox * aListBox,
CAknSearchField * aSearchField
)
after this just delegating the keyevents to the parent will do the search and list update automatically.
just go through the above classes and it will help u find a good solution.
with regards,
Hemanth.

Hello there,

Although it seems there's no problem on posting C++ code here, please note that this is the Mobile Java section.

ashisht4u, in JME you can develop such an application, in case your target device implements JSR-75 and the PIM API Optional Package. Take a look at the tutorial below:

Introduction To The PIM API (With Example) v1.1

Hope it helps.
