Hi,

I'm doing a sms application.
My doubt is :When a message is received from a mobile number,and if that mobile number is saved in my phone book i should replace that number with the name which is stored in my phone book.

I'm using PIM api to read the contacts from the phone memory.
Can you please tell me how i can replace the number with the name?


Thanks,

[jappit]

Hi nagesh.chetana,

if you're handling the incoming SMS in your MIDlet then, once retrieved the contact name, you can simply show it instead of the SMS sender number. Or am I missing something?

Hi Jappit,

Thanks for ur reply.
As im a newbie to this J2ME, i'm not able to get it.
The thing is, i have to receive the message, read the contents of the message,
when i click on the message which is received it should display the "From field"
with the contact name, if that number is present in the phone book memory.

i have these files:-
SMSReceiveMidlet file to receive the message
Personal information files - Midlet file and ReadPim file.

How can i link these two files, so wen a msg is received the name is displayed.

Please reply ASAP

Hi Chetana,
After receiving SMS, and retrieving the phone number it came from, You need to have a method in your ReadPim which returns you name of contact for that number. Then while showing the SMS to user in ur application just replace the field for the number with the name.

Hi Prakash,

There are 3 files -
SMSReceive Midlet file
PIM Midlet file and ReadPim file.

i'm unable to establish the connection between these three files.
Can i chat with u through the MSN messenger.

Chetana, I am not using MSN, if u want we can chat on gtalk. Is these files u are talking about are classes i guess.

Hi,
I guess that the PIM midlet is the first midlet that start the application...and then you are receiving the sms and then finding the name of the Contact..correct..You have to to just draw the total information on the canvas or form....
the flow can be like this-
MainMidlet->SMSRecieve->then Draw the information(Canvas/form)class
check whether this makes sense.

See,this quoted line makes me confuse(Forgive me if I am wrong)

Midlet files -SMSReceive Midlet file and PIM Midlet file

I guess you have one midlet,One canvas,one form java file...forget about the classes.
MyMidlet - RecieveSMS..then Form or Canvas
1.Make the RecieveSMS object in the midlet and set is displayable..
2.as soon as you receive the sms,fetch the name ..
3.Then in RecieveSMS class make the object of the form and append the same on form..and then append the form..
simple,Is this make sense,
