Using the PIM and FileConnection
APIs
The J2ME Wireless Toolkit supports JSR 75, the PDA Optional Packages for the
J2ME Platform. JSR 75 includes two independent APIs:
The FileConnection optional package allows MIDlets access to a local device
file system.
The Personal Information Management (PIM) optional package includes APIs
for manipulating contact lists (address book), calendars, and to-do lists.
This chapter describes how the J2ME Wireless Toolkit implements the
FileConnection and PIM APIs.
10.1 The FileConnection API
On a real device, the FileConnection API typically provides access to files stored
in the device’s memory or on a memory card.
In the J2ME Wireless Toolkit emulator, the FileConnection API allows MIDlets
to access files stored on your desktop computer’s hard disk.
The files that can be accessed using FileConnection are stored in subdirectories
of {toolkit}\appdb\{skin}\filesystem. For example, the DefaultColorPhone
emulator skin comes with a root directory installed called root1, which contains a
file called Readme. The full path of the file is
{toolkit}\appdb\DefaultColorPhone\filesystem\root1\Readme.
Note If multiple instances of the same emulator skin run simultaneously, the
J2ME Wireless Toolkit will generate unique file paths for each one. For example, a
second instance of DefaultColorPhone might have a file system path name of
{toolkit}\appdb\DefaultColorPhone.1089982856218\filesystem.
