Hi,
How to read 'Contacts' list from a Series 60 phone - Nokia 7610, and display it in a list box, using Java? I am new to Symbian. I have Googled and am confused with two 2 SDKs - UIQ and Symbian OS SDK.
1. Can you pls eloborate on why we need 2 SDKs?
2. What is UIQ? Why do i need it?
3. Where to get those SDKs and how to install them?
4. How to display Contacts list from the phone's Contacts database?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Peri
UIQ SDK is for UIQ phones. UIQ is a two-hand-operated, pen-input, portrait-oriented user interface on top of the Symbian operating system.
Series 60 SDKis for Series 60 phones and is also an UI on top of the Symbian OS, but created for Nokia primarily/initially for one-hand-operated mobile phones.
For a 7610 all the SDK's you want/need are on http://forum.nokia.com/ in the Series 60 SDKs and Tools downloads section. There are separate SDKs for Java vs. C++ development. There are different versions for different versions of Series 60, and different development environments. The 7610 is based on Series 60 2.1 so "Series 60 Platform 2nd Edition, Feature Pack 1" stuff is good for it.
I'm not sure if the Contacts are accessible from Java on the 7610, because I think it might require the support of "JSR-75" (see http://www.jcp.org for details), which I think is supported in the newer 6630, but not the 7610.
There's also downloadable examples on Forum Nokia.
See also http://www.newlc.com/ for good developer articles & discussions regarding Series 60 and other Symbian OS based devices.
Thank you.
Is there any site for Java development for Symbian?
Thanks,
Peri
