Problem with Invoking Messages Application

[jacytan]

Hi,

I am testing an application that adds an application menu item in the messages list and when clicked, simply displays the old contents and recipients on the "Compose Email" Screen.

This is what i did.

public Object run(Object in_objContext) 
{
   if(in_objContext instanceof Message)
   {
	Message msgOrig = (Message)in_objContext;
	try
	{
		Message msgNew = msgOrig.reply(true,true);
				
		Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES,
			new MessageArguments(msgNew));
		
	}catch(Exception e){}
   }
   return null;
}

The problem is, there is no "Send" command in either the Context or Full Menu.

Can somebody help me?

Message.reply() is broken. This is a known issue that extends from 4.2 all the way up to 4.7 (AFAIK).

You'll need to invent your own "reply" function.

Is it? Hmmm.... thanks for that information

i created my own reply method, but i cannot seem to get the content of the previous message. i want that the Original Message be included in the body. (Similar UI to the normal "Original Message" part)

i tried using the setContent() by getting the content/body of the previous message but still it is empty.

any suggestions?

Try using the forward() method to create a reply, the re-swizzle the subject line and out in your recipients.

Hi there, i just realized something else. If i use the forward() method and if there is a file attached on the previous email, it also gets sent along with the reply. Is there a way i can remove the previous attachment?

I tried using getContent() and getBodyText(), it does not work. I always get null as the return type.

The "Save Drafts" command doesn't seem to work, as well.

Can somebody help me? Did anybody else encounter these problems?

I will give it a try in the evening today and update what I find. In the meantime you may want to ask this question at RIM support forums as well.

i already posted the same issue in RIM but they're not responding.
