Hey ululazmi

By images in the inbox do u mean the mms files u receive through GPRS or do u mean a file from other device through BT?

Please Specify.

Hello ululazmi

Now u wont have to wait for replies bcoz i am here.We so u want it to be transferred through BT OBEX...
What code are u running on the server and the client?

Try this code:

For server

# This script lets 2 phones exchange a file via OBEX.
# This is the server, the corresponding client is obex_client.py
from socket import *
import appuifw

# Create a bluetooth socket in waiting state to be connected to
s = socket(AF_BT, SOCK_STREAM)
port = bt_rfcomm_get_available_server_channel(s)
print "Binding service to port %s"%port
s.bind(("", port))
print "Service bound."

# Advertise the OBEX service, so it can be seen by other phones
service_name=u"Test OBEX service"

print "Advertising service as %s"%repr(service_name)
bt_advertise_service(service_name, s, True, OBEX)

try:
print "Setting security to AUTH."
set_security(s, AUTH)

receive_path = u"c:\\obex.txt"
print "Receiving file."
bt_obex_receive(s, receive_path)
print "File received."

import e32
e32.ao_sleep(1)
finally:
print "Stopping service advertising."
bt_advertise_service(service_name, s, False, OBEX)

print "Closing socket."
s.close()
print "Socket closed."
print "Finished."

Moreover u also Need to run the following script on the client

For Client

# this file lets 2 phones exchange a file via OBEX
# this file is the client side
# the corresponding server side file is called obex_server.py

from socket import *
import appuifw
import e32

# JL: you don't need a socket for this!
## create socket
#s=socket(AF_BT,SOCK_STREAM)

# scan for other phones offering OBEX service
addr,services=bt_obex_discover()
print "Discovered: %s, %s"%(addr,services)
if len(services)>0:
choices=services.keys()
choices.sort()
choice=appuifw.popup_menu([unicode(services[x])+": "+x
for x in choices],u'Choose port:')
port=services[choices[choice]]
else:
port=services[services.keys()[0]]
address=(addr,port)

# create file to be sent
send_path = u"c:\\test.txt"
f=open(send_path, 'w')
f.write("hello")
f.close() # NOTE: parens were missing here before!

# send file via OBEX
print "Sending file %s to host %s port %s"%(send_path, address[0], address[1])
bt_obex_send_file(address[0], address[1], send_path)
print "File sent."

MoreOver u must have the Bluetooth devices paired befor hand and also authorized. I hope u get what all i said.

Hope that helps,

thanks for the reply
but the question remain
is it possible to open an image from from within the inbox?,
I doubt it though
so i'll try to find another work around
thanks for the snippet
i've read the client-server BT OBEX python code in mobilenin's website as well

Hey ululazmi

I got the answer to ur problem.
See the files in the inbox are stored in a folder having path

E:/system/Mail/...

If u can get the subfolders after the mail directory i mean then u know the whole path of an image file on a Memory card (in this case as path is E.
So u can acccess a file from there.
But u got to find the whole path....I will provide u with more info when i am updated..

Hope that helps a bit,

croozeus,
i still didn't manage to find the

E:/system/Mail/...

directory

@Ululazami

What memory u use for Messages? I mean the inbox.
Is it the Phone memory or the Memory card...If u use the phone memory then lookin into folder..

E:/system/Mail/...

Hope it helps,

If he's using a 3rd edition phone than he won't have the system folder.

[croozeus]

@ululazmi

Well then there you go.You wont have a system folder. I am wondering where will the SMS files be stored if 3rd edition phones donot have a system/mail folder.
