I can't send sms from my program, it gives me "jvm error: 104 uncaught: throwable" error in simulator after sending the sms and tapping the back button to go back to the application.

I'm using jde 4.5.0 with 8330 simulator.



I wrote a sample program to send an sms and it's the same error, i hope someone can tell me whats wrong.



App.java:

import net.rim.device.api.ui.UiApplication;


public class App extends UiApplication
{
   Screen2 screen2;
   
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        App  app = new App();
        app.enterEventDispatcher();
    }
    public App()
    {
    	screen2 = new Screen2();
        pushScreen(screen2);
    }
 
}

Screen2.java:

import java.io.IOException;

import javax.microedition.io.Connector;
import javax.wireless.messaging.MessageConnection;
import javax.wireless.messaging.TextMessage;


import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.Invoke;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.MessageArguments;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.Dialog;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.LabelField;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.MainScreen;


final class Screen2 extends MainScreen
{

   
    public Screen2()
    {
        super(); 
        setTitle(new LabelField("Screen2"));
        try
        {
        	String number = "1234";
            MessageConnection mc = (MessageConnection)Connector.open("sms://");
            TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage)mc.newMessage(MessageConnection.TEXT_MESSAGE);
            textMessage.setAddress("sms://" + number);
            Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(textMessage));
        }
        Catch(Throwable e)
        {
        	Dialog.alert(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

stack trace is :

the exception only happens with os 4.5.0 in os 4.2.1 everything ok.

First off, you should catch these Throwable exceptions - wrap your enterEventDispatcher with a try/catch block.

Secondly, you cannot test SMS on the 4.5 simulator - it's broken. Aside from the "decrement" issue above, you will also find that the messages app will try to cast the TextMessage object to an Email message object, which will throw a cast exception.

Thirdly, why are you opening a message connection here? You don't need this connection if you are asking the messages app to send the message for you.

And finally, you don't put the "sms://" in your address for the Message object - you only place the phone number there.

I'm sorry for not being clear, i want to invoke the sms application using a number i pass from my program.
Actually it works fine on a 4.2.1 simulators.

So do you say it's a problem with the 4.5.0 simulator and on 4.5.0 devices it should work fine?

As I said, the 4.5 simulator Invoke is broken with regards to Messages.

The problem does not exist on the device.
