hi,
I have a midlet and I want to interact to other Symbian's
applications ( Agenda, Email ...)
how do I do to interact with them in the midlet ?
It's possible from midlet to launch a Symbian's application ?? how ??
I think that the utility TaskSwitch works with personal java, but
not with MIDP
thanks
marco

Hello, MIDlets are J2ME (Java2 Micro Edition) applications written towards the MID profile. P800 supports MIDP 1.0 without vendor specific extensions. There exists no J2ME extension for accessing P800 specific functionality. Only the vendor, in this case Sony Ericsson/Symbian, can introduce such extensions, in case of J2ME these must be linked with the KVM virtual machine when it is built, so a third party cannot add such code.
On the other hand, in case of PersonalJava on P800 it is possible for a third party to develop JNI (Java Native Interface) extensions that makes use of existing C++ API's. The UIQ SDK contain detail documentation on how to generate JNI compliant DLL files that PJava applications can load. Examples of such extensions can for example be audio functionality for enhancing gameplay with such effects. Such native development requires access to any of the Metrowerks "Codewarrior for SymbianOS" IDE editions for the actual native compilation and debugging.
Hi
I don't know if it can helps but if you use a DateField Object from the MIDP API then the calendar is displayed when you click on the DateField.
As far as i remember it is the nativ Calendar.
