How do i get contacts stored in SIM card?

[wisdom...@gmail.com]

Please i need help in getting the contacts stored in my sim card, if it can be done. I have tried the code below but it only gets contacts stored in the Phone's Internal memory. I've test the j2me build in my Nokia 5370c, but am not pleased with the result.

            String[] contactsId = ContactsManager.getAllContacts();

            

            for(String cid:contactsId){

                

                Contact c = ContactsManager.getContactById(cid);

                Object[] phones = c.getPhoneNumbers().values().toArray();

                String phos = "";

                for(Object phoo:phones){

                    phos = phos+(String)phoo+",";

                } 

                phos = phos.substring(0, phos.length() - 1);

                String contact = c.getFamilyName()+" "+c.getFirstName()+"["+phos+"]";

                System.out.println(contact);

            }

Are these contacts returned when you are using the J2ME PIM API?
We just invoke that API.

Shai, thanks for your reply. Am using the com.codename1.contacts.ContactManager class. I've not tried 
the PIM API directly, if that's what you mean.

I looked around and the PIM API guys said that PIM  returns two Lists, One contains phone contacts and the other SIM contacts.

Is ContactManager expected to return both List?

Can you point me to the place where they say that?

Ok.

According to the PIM java Doc here.

public abstract PIMList openPIMList(int pimListType,

                                    int mode,

                                    java.lang.String name)

                             throws PIMException

Open a named PIM List. Only string names returned by listPIMLists(int) can be used to open a list.

Parameters:

pimListType - int representing the PIM list type to open, either CONTACT_LIST, EVENT_LIST, or TODO_LIST.

mode - in which the List is opened, either READ_ONLY, READ_WRITE, or WRITE_ONLY.

name - the named List to open

Returns:

the named List.

Throws:

PIMException - If the list is not available, the operation is unsupported or an error occurs.

java.lang.SecurityException - if the application is not given permission that matches the requested mode.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If an invalid mode is provided as a parameter or if pimListType is not a valid PIM list type.

java.lang.NullPointerException - If name is null.

I also saw sample codes that's basically saying: 

 PIM.getInstance().openPIMList(PIM.CONTACT_LIST, PIM.READ_ONLY, contactsFrom[i]);

               

 /*Where

     String[] contactsFrom = pim.listPIMLists(PIM.CONTACT_LIST);

  and

      i = index of the desired memory {SIM,Phone,Contacts}

*/

I don't see any mention of SIM card contacts vs. device contacts.
