I implemented this code below in order to read contacts from the addressbook of the phone
The problem is, In a case when all the numbers in the phonebook are saved in the SIM it reads and displays the contacts for selection.
But in a case whereby any number is included on the phone memory, it gives an application error.(OutOfMemoryException)
What do I do (PS do not mind some System.out.println statements there. I used them for debugging)
public void execute() {
try {
// go through all the lists
String[] allContactLists = PIM.getInstance().listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST);
if (allContactLists.length != 0) {
for (int i = 0; i < allContactLists.length; i++) {
System.out.println(allContactLists[i] + " " + allContactLists[1]);
System.out.println(allContactLists.length);
loadNames(allContactLists[i]);
System.out.println("Execute() error");
}
} else {
available = false;
}
} catch (PIMException e) {
available = false;
} catch (SecurityException e) {
available = false;
}
}
private void loadNames(String name) throws PIMException, SecurityException {
ContactList contactList = null;
try {
// ----
// System.out.println("loadErr1");
contactList = (ContactList) PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, name);
// System.out.println(contactList.getName());//--Phone Contacts or Sim Contacts
// First check that the fields we are interested in are supported(MODULARIZE)
if (contactList.isSupportedField(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME)
&& contactList.isSupportedField(Contact.TEL)) {
// ContactLst.append("Reading contacts...", null);
// System.out.println("sup1");
Enumeration items = contactList.items();
// System.out.println("sup2");
Vector telNumbers = new Vector();
telNames = new Vector();
while (items.hasMoreElements()) {
Contact contact = (Contact) items.nextElement();
int telCount = contact.countValues(Contact.TEL);
int nameCount = contact.countValues(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME);
// System.out.println(telCount);
// System.out.println(nameCount);
// we're only interested in contacts with a phone number
// nameCount should always be > 0 since FORMATTED_NAME is
// mandatory
if (telCount > 0 && nameCount > 0) {
String contactName = contact.getString(Contact.FORMATTED_NAME, 0);
// go through all the phone numbers
for (int i = 0; i < telCount; i++) {
System.out.println("Read Telno");
int telAttributes = contact.getAttributes(Contact.TEL, i);
String telNumber = contact.getString(Contact.TEL, i);
System.out.println(telNumber + " " + "tel");

// else {

}
// Shorten names which are too long
shortenName(contactName, 20);

System.out.println(contactName + " here " + telNames.size());
telNames.addElement(contactName);
System.out.println(telNames.elementAt(i) + " na " + i);
}

for (int j = 0; j < names.length; j++) {
names[j] = (String) telNames.elementAt(j);
System.out.println(names[j] + "....");
}
// allTelNames.addElement(telNames);
