Hi everyone.

I just want to invoke the email API with a destinary.

But when I do this :

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES ,new MessageArguments(MessageArguments.ARG_NEW, desti, "Email", "Body"));

It launch a new screen with SMS on the top.

So I want an email and not a sms.

How can I process???

from developer guide (not tested but seems OK):

net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message m = new net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message();
Address a = new Address("mLi@rim.com", "Ming Li");
Address[] addresses = {a};
m.addRecipients(net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses);
m.setContent("A message for you...");
m.setSubject("Email for you");

Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(m));

I will test it and tell you if it's works

[goulamass]

Nothing happens.

[Ivanov]

works for me on 8800 simulator (4.2.1)

		Message m = new Message();
		Address a;
		try {
			a = new Address("mLi@rim.com", "Ming Li");
			Address[] addresses = {a};
			m.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses);
			m.setContent("A message for you...");
			m.setSubject("Email for you");

		} catch (Exception e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

		Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(m));

But this send directly an email or jsut launch the email module???

[Ivanov]

It shows a new prefilled E-Mail

[goulamass]

Allright.

I will work on it.

[goulamass]

When I try to launch what you give me,I have this :

Uncaught exception thrown - ClassCastException.

Any idea???

[Ivanov]

I guess you are using jde 4.1.0. In that SDK there is no way to pass a Message to the MessageArguments constructor...

[goulamass]

No I use the jde 4.3

[Ivanov]

then it should work. Are you using the right Message class? from net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message

[goulamass]

Yes I'm sure thaht is the right Message.

I will write some Sytem.out.prinln to find where the problem is

[goulamass]

System.out.println("test mail 1");
net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.Message m = new Message();
System.out.println("test mail 2");
Address abc;
System.out.println("test mail 3");
try
{
abc = new Address("mLi@rim.com", "Ming Li");
System.out.println("test mail 4");
Address[] addresses = {abc};
System.out.println("test mail 5");
m.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses);
System.out.println("test mail 6");
m.setContent("A message for you...");
System.out.println("test mail 7");
m.setSubject("Email for you");

}
catch (Exception e)
{
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println("test mail 8");
Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(m));
System.out.println("test mail 9");
}

This is my code.

I see all the test mail until the 8.

So the problem is on the invoke

Any idea??

[Ivanov]

actually both methods work for me:

import net.rim.device.api.ui.container.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.component.*;
import net.rim.device.api.ui.*;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.invoke.*;
import net.rim.blackberry.api.mail.*;

public class GuiTest extends UiApplication {

	public GuiTest()
	{
		pushScreen(new MyScreen());
	}
	
	class MyScreen extends MainScreen{
		public MyScreen(){
			add(new LabelField("test"));
		}
		
	    private MenuItem _miMailInvoke = new MenuItem("invoke", 110, 10) {
	        public void run()
	        {
	        	Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(MessageArguments.ARG_NEW, "TO", "SUBJECT", "BODY"));
	        }
	    };
	    
	    private MenuItem _miMailInvoke2 = new MenuItem("invoke 2", 110, 10) {
	        public void run()
	        {
	    		Message m = new Message();
	    		Address a;
	    		try {
	    			a = new Address("mLi@rim.com", "Ming Li");
	    			Address[] addresses = {a};
	    			m.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, addresses);
	    			m.setContent("A message for you...");
	    			m.setSubject("Email for you");

	    		} catch (Exception e) {
	    			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
	    			e.printStackTrace();
	    		}

	    		Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES, new MessageArguments(m));
	        }
	    };
	    
        protected void makeMenu(Menu menu, int instance)
        {
            menu.add( _miMailInvoke );
            menu.add( _miMailInvoke2 );
           
            super.makeMenu(menu, instance);
        }
	}
	
	/**
	 * @param args
	 */
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
		GuiTest app = new GuiTest();
		app.enterEventDispatcher();
	}
}

The first method work but on my screen I have on the top Compose SMS 137.

So when I will click on send it will send an email or a sms???

[goulamass]

So no problem.

I have only this sreen on my simulator and the right on the BB.

Thanks a lot.
