Hi,

I wrote a j2me program that reads from a file using the FileConnection package (JSR 75), and sends this content to the server using HTTP. I have used threads to automate this program. The program reads the contents of file first time and sends them to server and then sleeps for 60 secs, then again after 60 secs, it reads the contents again and if data is stale it sleeps again for 60 secs, or if file data is new, it sends this data to server, this keeps happening until the EXIT button is pressed. So basically, my program reads the file after every 60 secs. Every time i read, i close the file too. This program is working properly on the emulator, but when i transferred it to Nokia 6630, it reads the contents of the file the first time properly and then next time it asks whether the J2ME application is allowed to read/write user data and then nothing happens. Nothing is displayed when program tries reading the file the 2nd time. After that the program gets stuck. But am able to exit it.
I tried replacing the file reading part in the same program with displaying a simple string, and its working properly on the phone. The string is getting displayed after every 60 secs. So there is no problem in thread handling. But file reading is happening only once. Do you have any idea why this may be happening? I have attached my code, can u pls check it and let me know if thr's something wrong. It would be really helpful, am really stuck. Here's my j2me code:


// project name is ModularCleanThreadFileMidlet

hi lappard ,

I think that's still a bug with Choise.POPUP on some devices,
I've rewrote your code and tested on 6680 and it does not work (works fine in s60 3rd ED SDK Emulator)
here is related thread:
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=54586
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=66460
http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/fo...ad.php?t=66311
try different solution, for example switch to screen with selection, etc,

regards,
Peter
