Flotron -

Do you know how to search and get one single contact number to the heading_txt?

Try discussion boards. This was written in 2008 and it is unlikely anyone who knows the answer would be watching it.

We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived. Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.

This code snippet demonstrates how to organise contacts in the phonebook using the Contact Service API in a Flash Lite 3.0 (supported from S60 5th Edition onwards).

Preconditions

Note: The test device must have at least two contacts at the phonebook.

// Import the Platform Service Interface
import com.nokia.lib.Service;

// Heading of the application
heading_txt.text = "Group Contacts";
 
// Create a new Service object which has Calendar data
var contact = new Service("Service.Contact", "IDataSource");
 
// At the first, create a new Group called "FirstTwo"
// Define input parameters for the group
var group = {GroupLabel:"FirstTwo"}
var inAddParams = {Type:"Group", Data:group};
 
// Define the result data
var outAddParams = contact.Add(inAddParams);
 
// Check if adding the group was a success
if (outAddParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
	outAddParams.ReturnValue
	text_txt.text = "Group added!\r";
} else {
	var errorId = outAddParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "Error while adding group: "+errorId+"\r";
}
 
// At the second, get a list of contacts
var inListParams = {Type:"Contact"};

        } else {

        }
    } while (true);
} else {
	// if errors, copy them to the textfield
    var errorId2 = outListParams.ErrorCode;

			}
        } else {
            break;
        }
    } while (true);
} else {
	// if errors, copy them to the textfield
    var errorId2 = outListParams.ErrorCode;
	text_txt.text += "Error while listing groups: "+errorId2+"\r";
}
 
// Take the first two contacts from the phonebook to the group called "FirstTwo"

// Define the input parameters
var inputData = {id:groupId, IdList:idList};
var inParams = {Type:"Group", Data:inputData, OperationType:"Associate"};
 
// Define the result value
var outParams = contact.Organise(inParams);
// Check if organise success
if (outParams.ErrorCode == 0) {
	text_txt.text += "Success!";
} else {
	var errorId3 = outParams.ErrorCode
	text_txt.text += "Error while grouping: "+errorId3;
}

Postconditions

All groups in the phonebook, and organized contacts, are displayed. A new group called "FirstTwo" can be found from the phonebook and the group contacts two contacts which are the first two in the default phonebook.

Example application

The following sample application has been tested in Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (S60 5th edition, Flash Lite 3.0).
